Episode 24: Gabe Larsen on The 5 Key Components of a Cadence
A lot of people are fascinated by genetic structure. This is true whether that’s literal genetic material like the human genome or more metaphorical like the DNA of a sales process. Breaking things down to their lowest level gives us a better idea of both what we’re working with and how to get the most out of it. Seeing how things function is useful for many industries, and sales is no exception. It’s one thing to initiate a process like a sales cadence. It’s quite another to understand why you’re initiating it and how the moving parts of that sales cadence actually operate. The former is pretty hit-or-miss, while the latter gives you control over your process. In this episode, Gabe Larsen, VP of Sales for InsideSales Labs, talks about the research his team has been doing to crack the genetic code of sales cadences.

Episode 22: Jiri Marousek on How Building a Capable Internal Team Equals More Revenue
You’ve seen plenty of companies focused on pushing sales organizations hard to generate more revenue. There’s often a focus inside companies to get more out of the salespeople they have. This is a viable plan of attack, but it’s not the only one. Over the last five years, we’ve seen an increase in marketing and services agencies, and they aren’t cheap—even if the services they provide are seen as critical. So today, we want to talk about how building that internal capability is not only worth the investment: it can also increase revenue. To do that, we’re talking to Jiri Marousek, Chief Marketing Officer at the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association).
