    Serving Sales Teams the Right Way - Gail Kasper, TV Host, 2x TEDx Speaker & Sell Like A Cockatoo

    Today's episode welcomes Gail Kasper - the world's leader in customization for sales keynote speeches and training programs. She is the creator of the Systematic Attitude Development-Technique™️ (SAD-T™️) and Cockatoo Selling, an innovative advanced sales program. These concepts are described in detail in her books Unstoppable: 6 Easy Steps To Find And Achieve Your FIRE and Sell Like A Cockatoo: How To Master The New Way Of Selling In A Rapidly Changing World. She's also a 2x TEDx Speaker, TV Host, sought after podcast guest and sales trainer who gets in the trenches with her clients to guarantee that they achieve their desired outcomes.When Gail started out in sales, she was selling training programs making only commission. Soon enough her first media opportunity arrived hosting a weekly TV show, which ultimately got her fired from the training company. With only 1 active coaching client, she started getting more work within the clients firm, eventually moving across regional offices all the way to holding lectures at their companies training university. College dropouts finding sales is a tale older than time. The reason why to this day companies still choose to hire them for sales positions is simple - when you don't have a fallback, you're much more likely to be self driven, which is a huge asset in sales. Both Gail and Kevin agree that in 2024 salespeople have gotten lazier, which could be attributed to the variety of tools, automations and AI workflows that have become easily accessible to everyone. Unfortunately for them, in the current economic climate doing the bare minimum and overly relying on tools is no longer a sustainable strategy.

    How to Sell a Franchise - Marcos Moura, Co-Owner & CDO at Amada Senior Care

    Today's episode welcomes Marcos Moura, Co-Owner and Chief Development Officer at Amada Senior Care, a franchise business that provides home care for seniors. Amada is one of the only senior care companies in North America that offers in-home non-medical care as well as assisted living placement consulting services. Amada Senior Care was founded by two college football players - Tafa Jefferson and Chad Fotheringham. When they graduated, Chad went into the pharmaceutical industry while Tafa went on to be drafted into the NFL. Tafa's NFL run was cut short after the first year, so he immediately started shaping his post-NFL career and looking for his next north star. He took his moms advice and called up Chad, and that conversation ultimately led to them founding Amada Senior Care. Together they scaled Amada Orange County to $8 million in gross billings.Franchising wasn't part of the initial vision. After a dear friend of Marcos, Robert Christensen, was fired from Pfizer, he wanted to begin his own entrepreneurial journey. He then called Chad and asked if he could start an Amada Senior Care franchise in Washington. Chad was in, and the franchise model of Amada officially began.Every big purchase carries a certain level of risk, but buying a franchise is on the upper echelon of that spectrum. Instead of buying something that either will or won't meet your expectations, you're making a bet on yourself and your ability to consistently show up, perform, and find solutions to evergreen problems. When selling someone on the idea of becoming a franchisee, understand that your TAM is tiny - so every opportunity counts tenfold.  Tune into the full episode to learn more on how to sell franchises! KEY INSIGHTS:01:02 The origins of Amada Senior Care06:52 How to sell a franchise08:31 Finding the right franchisee12:46 How to find your first 10 franchisees 16:26 Building a franchise sales team19:31 Setting up KPI's for a franchise sales team23:58 What it takes to succeed in sales26:46 Thriving in a growing market 32:01 Learning to leverage extra resources35:24 What you should know before franchising Connect with the guest, Marcos MouraConnect with the host, Kevin WarnerCheck out Amada Senior Care

They help train the team, boost conversion rates, and multiply connect rates all while having fun in the Nooks platform. Sahil also has 6 years of experience running a go-to-market agency for B2B tech companies.Sahil's path to his previous agency started by working as an SDR, AE and Sales Leader in multiple tech startups. Over the years, he realized that all early stage startups suffer from the same GTM caveat - they don't have a recognisable brand.This becomes a huge inefficiency for revenue teams, as your sellers are seeing unfavorable engagement metrics across the sales process and get stuck building trust from 0. A big part of building a known brand is working with those who your ICP already trusts - that's why Sahil took a full-cycle sales approach with his clients to make sure they close logos that bring much needed credibility to new brands.If you blindly follow every LinkedIn thought leadership post when tweaking your GTM motion, you're very likely to fail. A huge portion of content has one single goal - explain why you're in pain and position a product as the solution. This often leads to people investing in methods that don't work in their market.

    The Allbound Approach to B2B Revenue - Evan Dunn, Head of Marketing at ServiceBell

    Today's episode welcomes Evan Dunn, Head of Marketing at ServiceBell - a SaaS platform that enables their users to create first party intent and convert it into pipeline using the best account-based tactics across inbound, outbound, and marketing channels.In rare cases, an executive that isn't the CEO or Founder becomes the leading voice in the company they work for. When Evan joined ServiceBell 8 months ago, he quickly realized that their product is in a great position to capture market share from giants like Drift and Qualified.com. Then it became apparent that their platform was both an inbound and outbound solution, which led them to the term “allbound”. Evan saw the opportunity to evangelize this fairly underserved category, so he got to work and became one of those rare individuals that becomes synonymous with the brand and the category.The concept of an allbound approach isn't new, but it's certainly lost on many. Relying on only educating the 97% of buyers who aren't in the market or only trying to capture the 3% that are ready is a losing strategy, as it doesn't account for the fact that buyers make decisions based on circumstances that are outside of the go-to-market teams control, which means you should have both your inbound and outbound functions dialed in throughout the year. It's much less important to figure out the right sequence as it is to stay consistent across all channels.Tune into the full episode to learn how to build an Allbound approach to revenue!KEY INSIGHTS:00:35 Evan's Sales Transformation06:55 What makes a good B2B role?10:42 How Evan chose the Allbound category12:52 The importance of Demand Generation18:01 The tech bubble of workaholics 21:47 There's too much noise in tech30:02 The right way to use AI in go-to-market36:42 Utilizing video in your sales process43:04 How to pick the right channels44:12 Handling competition in a crowded spaceConnect with the guest, Evan DunnConnect with the host, Kevin WarnerCheck out ServiceBell
