Episode 113: Moving from Content Creation to Content Experience with Randy Frisch
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.

Episode 112: Your Employees Aren’t Quitting—But That Doesn’t Mean They’re Engaged with Adam Weber
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.

Episode 110: Driving more Business with Word of Mouth Marketing and Leveraging LinkedIn with Bill Bice
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.

Episode 109: Five Areas Sales Managers Can Address to Spark Growth in Their Teams with Lee Smith
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.

Episode 108: How to Get 4-10x ROI in Email Marketing Without Building a List with Doug Morneau
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.

Episode 104: The Challenges of Balancing Work and Personal Life with Damon Burton
The challenges of balancing work and personal life are . . . challenging. But getting it right has never been more important. The end result of poor work/life balance is decreased productivity and an inability to disconnect from work and truly connect with other people in your life. Damon Burton, President of SEO National, has successfully disciplined himself to shut off work at 5 o’clock and on weekends, while still building a successful business that has stood the test of 12 years. So obviously, we had to ask him how he’s done it.
