Episode 102: Coaching your Team to Excellence with Jason Forrest
Do you want your future filled with your industry’s equivalent of Super Bowl rings? Then you better stop managing your people and start coaching them instead. If you want to know how, check out the actionable advice of Jason Forrest, CEO and Chief Culture Officer at FPG (Forrest Performance Group), which does sales leadership coaching. Forrest believes that a sales coach is all about making people better, versus making things easier. Managers frequently act to ease problems in a worker’s life. A coach doesn’t do that because making circumstances easier is a death spiral. It won’t help in the long run. Instead, a coach is focused on making you better by not changing your circumstances, but by changing how you think about them, how you see the individual components, and how you behave in those circumstances.

Episode 100: How AI Recruiting Can Create a Better Culture with Vijay Sundaram
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” warned management icon Peter Drucker. Recruiting people who fit in with your corporate culture is mission critical. What if you could use the same AI marketing techniques that find qualified leads for your sales team to find recruits who share your company’s culture? From an AI perspective, the recruiting process parallels the sales process. Both are about looking at behavior to winnow down many potential leads to decide who is the most convertible candidate for the long term. That’s what Zoho.com is doing, according to Vijay Sundaram, Zoho’s Chief Strategy Officer.

Episode 99: How a Good Leader Leads a Purpose-Driven Company with Tony Cascio
Leadership is a challenge with a diverse generational workforce requiring varying types of motivation and leadership styles. The reality of leadership is often similar to firefighting. You're being reactive out of necessity rather than strategically proactive. The most successful executives and managers demonstrate a diverse skill set and ability to slow things down, and focus on the challenge in front of them while still being able to see around corners. We explored these topics and others with Tony Cascio, a Managing Partner at ValueSelling Associates and President at Cascio Group. Cascio is a recognized business transformation leader.

There Are No Internal Interactions Anymore. Every Interaction Is a Customer Interaction We claim to understand the importance of customer experience.

We invited Sarindar Frost to help us take a deeper look. Sarindar is the Senior Director of eCommerce Customer Service at DHL for the Asia Pacific region. She joined us on The B2B Revenue Executive Experience to discuss how industries across the world are being transformed by a deeper understanding of customer experience.

Episode 97: Flashback - The Challenges of Marketing and Selling to the Public Sector with Juliana Slye
In Juliana Slye’s long career throughout the private and public sectors, two things have stuck with her more than anything: “It’s not about me, or where I believe the market is headed. It’s really all about the customer.” At the end of the day, if the customer doesn’t want it, it’s not going to happen. “You can’t go against your DNA.” Whether personal or professional, you have to take that DNA and make that work for you. Today, she is the CEO and Chief Strategist at Government Business Results, and she says that “there is no other industry that is more challenging, more compelling, and more risk/reward laden than working within the public sector.” We interviewed her to learn some of the greatest challenges of marketing and selling to that sector.
