If you really believe in your idea, write a book."Jason: "Selling is nothing more than an energy exchange between conscious beings.

This episode of Quotaless features Howard Brown, a four-time entrepreneur, former clinical psychologist, and Founder & CEO at Revenue.io. He discusses the synergistic effect of applying machine learning to sales processes. Their technology takes the best moments from actual interactions and applies them to future engagements. This has revolutionary effects, from reducing onboarding time by 72% to recognizing patterns in dealing with specific people to matching people based on personality traits. This streamlining helps reps to get set up for success and ultimately gives back people's time to them. HIGHLIGHTSRediscovering the power of face to face interactionsRenevue.io: Helping reps in the moment with augmented intelligenceDrastically reducing companies' onboarding timeThe efficiency of machine learning gives people back their time QUOTESHoward: "The best salespeople I know, they're helpers not unlike a therapist. They are problem solvers. They try their very best to connect people, bring solutions, and be helpful where possible. And they are incredible, for the most part, communicators and organizers. But the job has become incredibly difficult. Selling struggles are absolutely real."Howard: "Sales relationships are all about moments. You string together moments. Those moments build trust, they build relationships, they build great outcomes. On the other side, those moments could be disastrous. So what do we try to do? We try to assess what are the most important moments and how do we help the reps contextually."Howard: "The idea is test and measure everything and then prescribe because if I can help a rep in 65 different ways across how they handle an interaction or an account or an email or a video or a demo, if I could help them just 2%, the impact of that is remarkable. It's the synergistic impact, the 2 plus 2 is equal 12 that we're really getting at here."

This episode of Quotaless features Nate Nasralla, Founder of Fluint.io. The most important conversations buyers have during a sale happen internally. For this reason, Fluint was born to create champions within buying organizations and make sure that sellers get an accurate and relevant voice during these meetings.At the center of this is the concept of buyer enablement. In contrast to sales enablement which makes sure sellers are armed with the right tools to sell well, buyer enablement creates an environment conducive for the sale to actually happen.Nate also talks about his enterprise sales playbook, which he provides ungated and free of charge, and how to utilize languaging, or the ability to use your champions' words instead of your marketing team's to maximum effect.HIGHLIGHTSFluint as the solution to losing deals and finding championsOffering an ungated playbook that adds valueBuyer enablement creates the environment for deals to happenDefining champions, influencers, and coachesLanguaging: Frame requests around vernacularQUOTESNate: "I'm a big believer that you need to earn the brain space that you are taking up in somebody else's day. And, for me, the best way to do that is just to help somebody."Nate: "All of the moments that have the power to create or kill deals always happen in internal meetings, not sales meetings."Nate: "When I think about the profile of a champion, there's incentive, like there's something in it for them. There's a personal win that's keeping them tied directly to the outcome of the deal. Second is influence. They have to be able to affect change or push for change to get the deal done. And then third, information."Nate: "Languaging—the ability to frame a certain request around certain vernacular that others will resonate with in order to maximize the probability that that's approved. And, as a sales rep, you can language the sales process as well."Find more about Nate by checking out the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natenasralla/Website: https://www.fluint.io/Enterprise Sales Playbook: https://www.fluint.io/resource-content/the-enterprise-sales-playbook
This episode of Quotaless features Raj Singh, Founder and CEO of Go Moment, which was acquired by Revinate where Raj stays on as their Chief Marketing Officer. Innovation in the hospitality industry couldn't come at a better time when the world was ground to a halt by COVID.Raj shares how Ivy Offer became a game-changer for them and how their strategic partnerships ensured a profitable business model even with the crisis. He talks about the positive impact of their biohacks like the 4-and-a-half day work week and their focus on customer experience and success. HIGHLIGHTSThe shift from Founder to CMOInnovating Go Moment's Ivy Offer to thrive during COVIDAlign sales and marketing and focus on SQLsOn-ramp and create value for customer success Bio-hacks: 4-and-a-half day work week and breathing exercisesQUOTESRaj: "Similar to Go Moment, we didn't just bring a product into the market where four, five alternatives already existed. We created an entire new category of products and that's exactly what Revinate is doing as well, which is bringing in a new category of products into market."Raj: "We created Ivy Offer. We made it very easy for guests to order food and beverage, limos instead of Ubers, all that kind of good stuff, when they're celebrating and, of course, with the pent-up travel demand. And what we saw is in the first 12 months, which was one of our clients, we drove $15 million of revenue for them with this brand-new product we created during the pandemic. In 12 months of the beta period."Raj: "Maybe the most important metric in your entire business, assuming your retention and all that stuff is all taken care of, is sales qualified leads because that's where marketing needs sales. If your SQLs are doing well, your business is probably doing pretty well."Raj: "It's all about the quality of the delivery that ultimately is the best sales tool." Raj: "We're only a couple of months in at this point. We're about a month in at this point, so it's going great and we've actually seen productivity stay very much steady, maybe even going up in certain cases, and I'd say the other thing that's also been very helpful is just having the kind of team."

This episode of Quotaless features Dale Dupree, Founder and Chief Sales Officer of The Sales Rebellion, host of the Selling Local Podcast, and leader of the Sales Rebellion Slack community. The Crumpled Letter is a prospecting process using, quite literally, a crumpled-up letter that creates undeniable curiosity and lasting impact.The aim is to create an experience and bring back excellence and effectiveness in your sales process. Dale brings focus to his core love for people and how forgiveness of others brings humanity into the sales process. Bet on YOU, on your authentic self, and trust that your story translates into success! HIGHLIGHTSThe Crumpled Letter: Disarming people with a fun experienceThe bottom line of excellence is creating relationshipsSeeing the world through forgiveness and love of peopleInflect: Lean in and take a risk on your authentic selfThe Sales Rebellion believes in community before commission checksQUOTESDale: "People don't have to like you to do business with you. Trusting you though is extraordinarily important. What does a pitch translate in regards to trust? Not much. It's an empty promise."Dale: "What is our belief and how are we instilling something so much bigger into people through that belief and the actions that we take?"Dale: "Sales starts with us and deep inflection of our problems because the more that we carry those things around, the more we wear a mask. That mask is not your authentic self. It might be something you'd like to be, but it can never truly be you until you have released yourself from all the other things behind you."Dale: “Put fellowship in front of negotiations, to put community before commission checks, to put people before products. And when we get to that place and understand that that experience is more powerful than a pitch, something shifts, and that shift becomes an avalanche of success."Find more about Dale by checking out the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/copierwarrior/Website: https://www.thesalesrebellion.com/
HIGHLIGHTSAndy's motivations behind Sell Without Selling OutBe friendly and do the things you can control to sell moreTrain sales managers to help sellers achieve their goalsGoodhart's Law applied: Managers' variable income based on % of reps who hit quotaQUOTESAndy: "I'd recently go, oh, that's what was happening in this situation with this customer. And it really helps to be able to put words to it. So that's one of the things I was trying with the book is help people sort of put words to what they're experiencing."Andy: "It costs you nothing to be friendly as a salesperson. It is one of the few things you can control, so why wouldn't you be? Why wouldn't you be warm? Why wouldn't you be friendly with someone?"Andy: "That's the very definition of a sales manager's job is to talk to their sellers, listen, understand what are the most important things to those sellers in terms of business goals and personal goals that they want to try to achieve, and then help them get that."Andy: "The way you help people gain the confidence to succeed is by letting them experience success."Andy: "Sellers need to understand that their ability to succeed is based not only on their ability to take control, a willingness to take control of how they sell and act in a way that aligns with who they are and their strengths, but also finding the right situation."Find more about Andy by checking out the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realandypaul/Amazon book link: https://www.amazon.com/Sell-Without-Selling-Out-Success/dp/1989603572Website: https://www.andypaul.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sales-enablement-podcast-with-andy-paul/id1046045197
HIGHLIGHTSThe commission structure stifles creativity and motivationNon-commission-based sales people garner more trustSafety and security drive people, not compensationTraining managers how to lead, developing leaders to be successfulQUOTESKevin: "Do you know what the studies have shown on applying a monetary reward to a cognitive behavior? It reduces problem solving capability, it reduces creativity, it reduces EQ, and it reduces learning. It reduces all the things necessary to perform that cognitive task aka it actually makes us dumber."Kevin: "People forget what coin-operated means. Coin-operated actually means if you pay for it, you get it. And that's now how we've structured commissions and comp plans for salespeople. It's the other way around."Kevin: "When someone tells me they want to get into leadership, first question, are you ready to put your paycheck in someone else's hands? Second question, are you willing to potentially make less and work harder than you've ever worked in your life? Third question, are you willing to no longer have your paycheck tied to your work ethic?"Kevin: "Most people just don't do things that bring them joy. So that's a big part of it is where are you doing things that bring joy in your life? Are you taking care of yourself? This is what we did things like meditation for team. We did visualization sessions, breath work sessions."Find more about Kevin by checking out the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kddorsey3/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-better-sell-better/id1518419694

Todd practices daily routines which are intended to produce calm from chaos. From journaling to meditation to regular workouts, he shares that these intentional acts cause his company team to work in unity. He reflects on the magic that caused people to show up in his life and how it is all rooted in a genuine curiosity to know other people.

And then I gained the wisdom that I couldn't do everything, that I needed a lot of other really good people around me."07:18 Todd: "When I was learning how to surf, I sought out wipe outs because I think any endeavor that you take on that's going to be challenging, you kind of need to appreciate the violence that's involved and you have to be okay with that before you're going to be able to make it to any sort of higher level."12:54 Todd: "Being calm is really an intention and it's something that, because it's an intention, it's something that needs to always be cultivated. It has to be worked on. If it's not watered, it's not going to grow." 42:13 Todd: "When we're pursuing unity, we're really pursuing open lines of communication and understanding that our similarities far outweigh our differences. And usually, if there's a breakdown in a chaotic breakdown, it's because there's been a breakdown in communication."51:34 Todd: "Focusing on other people's personal inner growth and being genuinely curious and listening and wondering what everybody's story is and how they get there, that once that became, a central driver in my life, everybody started showing up."
