This soon caught on and he built a powerful network across the SaaS founder and investor community. The blog soon led to the creation of the first ever podcast on B2B SaaS, called The SaaS Revolution show, and that led to the first exclusively SaaS themed meetups in London, Dublin and Berlin. That was 2016 and since then SaaStock has grown to be the biggest B2B SaaS Conference in Europe with five major conferences a year in five countries and many more local events. As an entrepreneur Alex Theuma knows the value of shared knowledge from those in a similar sector so it's his mission to share the newest ideas and connect the brightest minds in SaaS so everyone can benefit. https://www.saastock.com/ https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alextheuma/ Chapters: 0:00 1:43 Shout Outs 3:38 Alex Theuma Interview 4:30 SaaStock 4:43 SaaStock Austin 5:35 What is SaaStock? 6:42 David Cancel Drift Speaker Dublin 7:06 Chargify 7:14 Chris Cochran Founder Chargify 8:02 Alex Theuma Role at SaaStock 8:46 1st SaaStock Show Story 9:44 How did SaaStock Start and Grow? 12:04 Podcast Beginning 12:20 Mark Roberge Podcast 14:13 Selling: What is the Value to clients of SaaStock? 14:45 2 customer types 17:44 Chart Mogul 18:20 Profitwell 18:27 Patrick Campbell 18:46 Austin Show will increase NA exposure Velocity Global, Outreach and Zoom Info 19:57 Cap Chase 25:25 Recession Proofing Ideas for your business 25:24 Time to Close Rate 26:29 Taking Away the things from Sales Teams that are preventing them from selling 27:13 End of Day Sales Huddles 27:45 Do too many meetings create negative environments? 28:58 Does a leader jumping on every call with a rep create fear In rough times? 29:29 Get rid of Cadence Calls 30:00 Hubspot Example 30:32 Carney Doesn't like Forecast Calls 31:38 Sales Force Layoffs 32:15 Is Hubspot eating SalesForce's Lunch? 33:53 Marc Benioff getting advice from Will.I.AM 34:32 Docusign, SalesForce who is next? 35:06 Hoppin Example 35:49 Shopify Example 36:12 Elon Musk Warning 36:35 Dealing with companies backing out of deals 36:50 Sequoia Capital Warning to its Founders 38:41 SAASTR, Web Summit competitors 39:07 What Re the Earnings Multiples like out there? 41:40 Profitwell Patrick Campbell 42:38 Declining multiples good for VC 43:39 Lot of VC's Struggling 44:20 Rule of 40, ARR, GRR and NRR? 46:53 Passion 46:54 What is SaaStock Founder Membership? 50:54 Godard Abel CEO G2 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/support

In fact, I had to resign from my first sales job before they were going to fire me; even though I had helped close a £1M deal. I then joined another company. Then the 2008 crash happened. I questioned all my life's choices. It was a dark time. I could hear the judgement from my parents. Sales was not considered a profession and I didn't know anyone who was a successful seller. Then, something happened that changed everything. I was tidying my bookshelf when a book fell on my head. It was an old behavioural neuroscience textbook from my university degree. I stared at this book and realised that I was approaching sales the wrong way round. I went back deep into my neuroscience training. I re-learned the neuroscience behind human behaviour. I re-learned the WHY and HOW for how we make decisions. From then on my life completely changed. My sales results exploded. I achieved almost 300% of my annual target in 2009 while everyone else was struggling. I became a specialist in selling to C-Level executives in $1B+ companies. In the last 15 years I have interviewed over 428 buyers across 10 industries, 9 functional areas and 3 seniority levels, including CxOs. All of my Neuroscience knowledge, 20 years of sales experience, extensive interviews and research with buyers, plus my involvement with top-renowned sales researchers like Matt Dixon have been distilled into one of the most powerful sales training and advisory programs in the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/support
