The B2B Revenue Executive Experience

Do ethics even exist in sales? Contrary to popular belief, those who have the most ethics in sales attract customers worth having, because at the end of the day, people buy from people. I got to talk to Faiz Al-Shahab, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Xentral Methods, about what it’s like to feel like the only one holding to ethical practices when everyone else is playing dirty. “In this terrain where you are against corruption, it's going to be a tough climate for you to do business if you've got ethics,” Faiz said.

Most people, if they had zero clients, would throw in the towel. A very, very few would decide that it’s time to massively scale. When you’re scaling, how do you cross the normal revenue hurdles as well as ensure that process and structure can scale without restricting growth or creativity or innovation?  Today we're joined by Johnathan Grzybowski, CMO and cofounder of Penji, an on-demand graphic design service, about how he turned his failing business around in a little over a year.

Advertising is an industry seeing a lot of change recently. Yet, ROI from advertising is one of the easiest ways to get traction. Especially, when you advertise on LinkedIn. AJ Wilcox started B2Linked in order to help clients scale high-performing Linked In ads.  During college he heard a guest lecturer speaking about SEO and marketing. After learning Google ads and building websites for about seven years, he got hired at a new position where he was assigned to work on LinkedIn ads.  Little did he know, he was really good at it, and he grew their account to be the largest sales account on LinkedIn in the world. A few years later he started B2Linked. Today, you can hear tips on how to make the most of LinkedIn ad campaigns with an industry leading expert.  Subscribe to the podcast or write a review YouTubeSpotifyApple PodcastStitcherTuneInPrevious guests include: Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners, Harry Spaight, Founder of the Selling with Dignity, Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder at SalesfareCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Episode 189: 5 Things CRM Software Should Help You Do w/ Jeroen CorthoutEpisode 299: How to Break the Used Car Salesperson Stereotype with Harry SpaightEpisode 301: From Tech Sales to Business Conversation with Eric ShaverReady to Join the Conversation?

Content. Content. Content.  Content is king. Content is everything. Content is what matters. Right?  Today’s companies are hyper focused on content. Content creation. Content production. Content marketing. But what if that focus was misplaced? What if most, not all, but most companies are going about it the wrong way?  Once upon a time, content marketing was very much defined as simply, “Let’s go create content!”  The problem with that approach is that once you have all of the content, you’re left with a very real problem. What do you do with it all? You’ve got piles and piles of content, and no idea how to get it in front of the people that YOU need to see it.  How do you justify all the money you spent on making that content? In order to get an ROI, you’ve got to actually USE the content you produce.  Subscribe to the podcast or write a review YouTubeSpotifyApple PodcastStitcherTuneInPrevious guests include: Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners, Harry Spaight, Founder of the Selling with Dignity, Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder at SalesfareCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Episode 189: 5 Things CRM Software Should Help You Do w/ Jeroen CorthoutEpisode 299: How to Break the Used Car Salesperson Stereotype with Harry SpaightEpisode 301: From Tech Sales to Business Conversation with Eric ShaverReady to Join the Conversation?

Keeping employees around is not at all the same thing as keeping them engaged. Creating the right culture, setting goals, and motivating your teams requires so much more. This can be a challenging topic for executives, especially when they’re focused on the day-to-day operations of a business. They often don’t set aside the time to do this. Here to help us is Adam Weber, VP of Sales and Co-Founder of Emplify (and an avid birdwatcher!). In this one, Adam talks about a myth about millennials, how to motivate teams as they scale, and how to grow without losing the foundation of employee engagement you’re building upon.

80% of content that marketers create is never used by sales. That's like a knife to the chest. But salespeople also get frustrated with content management. Maybe the content doesn’t have the right message or sales doesn’t know where to find it when they need it.  There’s all sorts of issues surrounding content management.  So, on this episode of the B2B Revenue Executive Experience podcast, We sit down with Lindsay Tjepkema and Zachary Ballenger. They’ve teamed up to start a company aimed at solving these content management problems. On the show they gave us an inside look at what they’re building, along with a couple of tips to help you  eliminate frustration surrounding content management in your own business.  Subscribe to the podcast or write a review YouTubeSpotifyApple PodcastStitcherTuneInPrevious guests include: Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners, Harry Spaight, Founder of the Selling with Dignity, Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder at SalesfareCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Episode 189: 5 Things CRM Software Should Help You Do w/ Jeroen CorthoutEpisode 299: How to Break the Used Car Salesperson Stereotype with Harry SpaightEpisode 301: From Tech Sales to Business Conversation with Eric ShaverReady to Join the Conversation?

We are all looking for that next referral. Someone to say something nice about us. Someone to tell their friends how great our company.  But what isn’t always easy is knowing how to go about building your organization in such a way that word of mouth marketing comes naturally. Without sounding pushy or desperate. Because nobody wants to be that company that’s paying “influencers” to talk a big game about their product. Those relationships aren’t real. They’re not authentic. And people can see through them.  On this episode of the B2B Revenue Executive Experience podcast, Bill Bice, CEO at Boomtime, talks about the right techniques for word of mouth marketing, its challenges, and what makes a good referral.  After all, if you don’t have good marketing, all of the hard work of creating a great product is meaningless.  Subscribe to the podcast or write a review YouTubeSpotifyApple PodcastStitcherTuneInPrevious guests include: Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners, Harry Spaight, Founder of the Selling with Dignity, Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder at SalesfareCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Episode 189: 5 Things CRM Software Should Help You Do w/ Jeroen CorthoutEpisode 299: How to Break the Used Car Salesperson Stereotype with Harry SpaightEpisode 301: From Tech Sales to Business Conversation with Eric ShaverReady to Join the Conversation?

One of the biggest choke points in companies is often not the sales reps. It’s the sales managers. Frequently, companies take their top sales performers and promote them to manager, without ever giving them the training or tools they need to be great managers. Yet ensuring your managers are enabled to effectively support and coach your sales team is key to a successful organization. So, to help us dig into this topic we’re excited to be joined by C. Lee Smith, CEO of SalesFuel. On the latest episode of the B2B Revenue Executive Experience podcast, Lee discussed five issues that need to be addressed for managers to become better coaches and leaders for their sales teams.

Most people don’t actually know how to use email marketing. They look at it the same way as they do social media. Since it’s (virtually) free, and people are following me, I can just talk all about me . . . right? Not so much. I recently interviewed Doug Morneau, bestselling author of Three Big Lies: The Real Truth about Renting Email Lists to Generate Targeted Leads and Sales and host of the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast. We talked all about “sponsored emails,” a form of email marketing that helps you capitalize on a ready and willing audience that you don’t have to build yourself. Here’s what he had to say.  Subscribe to the podcast or write a review YouTubeSpotifyApple PodcastStitcherTuneInPrevious guests include: Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners, Harry Spaight, Founder of the Selling with Dignity, Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder at SalesfareCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Episode 189: 5 Things CRM Software Should Help You Do w/ Jeroen CorthoutEpisode 299: How to Break the Used Car Salesperson Stereotype with Harry SpaightEpisode 301: From Tech Sales to Business Conversation with Eric ShaverReady to Join the Conversation?

Storytelling is one of the first forms of communication to have existed. It’s one that’s intimately human. It has power for connection few other forms provide, yet it’s often misunderstood and rarely executed well. So how does one understand the power of story and leverage it in sales? How does it support the belief that sales is an honorable profession? How does it help you become memorable? Listen in as Harry Maziar, author of Story Selling: Sage Advice and Common Sense About Sales and Success, shares some of his own stories. He’s a quote machine and an incredible storyteller.
