Our secret sauce, the power of brand, and giving the damn demo | Samuli @ Sales and Marketing Talk Show
On today's episode I was asked to join Samuli Salonen's Sales and Marketing Talk Show for an episode all about demand gen. He's somehow made it 73 episodes in and hadn't yet covered DG. Wild. We cover what I'd consider to be a core part of our secret sauce, the power of building a brand and community (finding your tribe), and just giving prospects the damn demo. Seems straightforward, but qualification calls aren't helping your brand, or your conversion rates. See you on the other side. ✌️Show Notes:Follow Samuli: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samulisalonen/Follow Kaylee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylee-edmondson/Learn more about Chili Piper: https://www.chilipiper.com/Learn more about Chili Piper: https://www.chilipiper.com/Demand Gen Chat is a Chili Piper podcast hosted by Kaylee Edmondson.
