Nico Dato, CMO of Entrata, shares lessons from growing Podium from a single-product review platform to a nine-figure, multi-product lead gen platform.

When Nico Dato joined Podium in 2015, they were a single-product review tool for SMBs with under $1m in revenue.

Over a 7-year period, Nico helped grow Podium to a multi-product lead conversion platform with over $100m in revenue. 

For those counting at home, that's 100x growth.


In today’s episode, Alex and Nico discuss:

  • How Podium grew primarily through webinars and industry tradeshows
  • The two most important relationships for every marketing leader (spoiler: it's Product and Sales)
  • Why MQLs are a deceptive metric
  • Planning Entrata's massive user conference
  • Why you shouldn’t sleep on Utah as a tech hub
