Bill Sanders (Vice President at Mobus Inc) is the author of Creative Conflict: A Practical Guide for Business Negotiators. In today's episode we are talking about negotiation. Actually, it's more than just negotiation. I’m talking about creative dealmaking. And why that deal making, or negotiation is, in reality, nothing more than a creative process. We dig into why successful dealmakers and negotiators are like creative sellers, how they enhance the process by focusing more on what people need from them. Plus, how creative dealmakers strive to expand a deal’s scope while also pursuing a bigger portion of the pie available with the buyer.Connect with Andy: LinkedInSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast

Tae Hea Nahm is the co-founder and managing director of Storm Ventures, based in Silicon Valley. He's also the author of Survival to Thrival: Building the Enterprise Startup. Today we're talking about an open-source resource guide for entrepreneurs that Tae Hea has launched. A place where entrepreneurs and their team can share their experiences and learn from others how to scale and unlock growth. We dive into GTM and a newer concept called GTM Fit. Tae Hea says the problem is that Companies find product market fit but don't scale. Because there’s a “missing link” between PMF and accelerated growth for the enterprise startup journey. We dig into what that missing link is. We also explore Tae Hea's four steps to find GTM fit, starting with how to Catch the Wave and Nail the Customer Journey.Connect with Andy: LinkedInSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast

Dan Morris is the Managing Partner of MindRacer Consulting. Recently we've had some guests on the show to talk about the value of outsourcing your sales team. In my conversation with Dan, we go a step further and dive into the topic of outsourcing sales leadership. The starting point of our discussion is one that is perhaps counterintuitive. But it makes complete sense when you look at the state of selling today, which is that sales is often not a core competency of the business.Connect with Andy: LinkedInSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast

Drew Neisser is the Founder of Renegade and CMO Huddles, plus the author of an excellent new book, Renegade Marketing: 12 Steps to Building Unbeatable B2B Brands. On today's episode we talk about marketing and brand building, a subject we don't discuss enough on this show. I loved Drew's new book, in part because of the lessons it holds for sellers, but also because of how similar today's environment is for CMOs and CROs, like: Everyone has an opinion on marketing They have to work with limited resources and unreasonable expectations Their bosses don't trust them And they get fired frequently. Sounds a lot like the sales world. So, in this same vein, we dig into why Drew believes marketing has become more complicated yet rarely more effective. And why that applies to selling as well. We talk about why it's so important to synthesize your marketing and sales messaging down to eight words or less. Plus, we dive into why brands with clear and consistent messages are far more likely to get the sale than the ones who pursue a matrixed approach, and what that says about the right approach to Account Based Marketing.Connect with Andy: LinkedInSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast
