Reporting is retrospective. Data is proactive. There's only so much we can gain by analyzing a report, but taking a holistic view on all the data available can be the difference between a struggling business and a thriving one.Some of the insights your business desperately needs might already be buried in your data, assuming you're willing to look closely enough. And now with AI, this process is becoming much faster and smoother. So there's no excuse not to embrace a data strategy.In today's episode, we are joined by Evan Nelson, VP of Customer Experience at Cognism, to explore the impact of data on revenue, actionable ways to measure it, and three ways data can drive sales and improve decision-making. Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:20 Evan's Background03:58 Data and Reporting in 202406:39 How Data Drives Revenue09:33 Win/Loss Analysis14:34 Segmentation & Territories17:01 Churn Analysis21:47 AI and Data25:22 Outro Quotes:“There is no professional that improves their performance by winging it and not knowing the data.”“For a lot of folks, data isn't important until it might be too late.““The second you start to understand your customer base and how you're going to market, it becomes game-changing.

The sales prospecting landscape has seen a dynamic shift over the years. Remember when the full-cycle sales model gave way to the SDR/AE split? It was a game-changer - at the time. Fast forward to today, and we're witnessing a resurgence of full-cycle AEs.With the rise of digital tools, will full-cycle AEs reclaim their spot as the “best” approach to prospecting and sales? While they offer significant advantages in streamlining processes and enhancing customer relationships, challenges like time constraints for prospecting remain. However, certain industries and organizations find this approach more fitting and less problematic than sales development and sales being separate.Today we're joined by Jamie Shanks, CEO of Pipeline Signals & Get Levrg and a pioneer in the category of social selling, to dive deep into the resurgence of full-cycle AEs, their contribution compared to SDRs, and their future in sales. Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:42) How Jamie pioneered Social Selling(06:57) The evolution of the SDR role(10:39) Prioritizing ROI in your sales team(15:33) Best-in-class companies always have AE(20:17) Prospecting with a destination in mind(22:34) Outro Quotes:“The SDR role was meant to be a feeder ground for sales. If all it is now is a copywriting job, then the DNA is completely different than what it was.““I can't think of a single customer that didn't demolish their SDR team once the CFO got their grips on the numbers.”“We've had customers be like we spend a gazillion dollars of paid media and all this stuff for marketing, and my AEs haven't seen a leave in 3 months.”“Use a waterfall calculator and figure out what amount of lead flow will the average AE need to do. If you don't set that foundation upfront, Then the AE will prospect, but without a destination in mind.” Hit the subscribe button on your favorite podcast player so you don't miss the next episode.______________________________________________ Get instant access to AI Sales Prompt Pro, our new premium Notion database with the best ready-to-use prompts for chatGPT.

Increased production and decreased timelines. Who wouldn't want that? While AI can represent a massive leverage for organizations, many professionals are still struggling to embrace it or can't seem to understand how to use it properly. Thus, it's the responsibility of sales leaders to educate their teams on its capabilities, as well as integrating AI into their current workflow.AI tools like chatGPT have the power to help you 2x, 3x, or even 10x your output. There is no excuse not to incorporate AI into your organization. And with that in mind, today, we're joined by Mike Begg, Co-Founder & CEO of AMZ Advisors, an eCommerce consultancy firm, to discuss how AI is changing the game, which trends he foresees moving forward, and how to adapt to the new business landscape as we approach 2024. Time stamps:(00:00) Intro(00:42) Increasing output with AI(06:49) What holds people back from using AI(11:58) How to do quality at scale with AI(16:55) Training your team to embrace AI(18:42) Shifting from outbound to inbound(23:24) Content ownership and ethical concerns(26:21) Where to find Mike(27:06) Outro Quotes:“The more content you put out there, the faster you're gonna learn what your customer likes, what they don't like. And if you're able to do it with great volume, you're shortening the learning curve.”“When you make it feel like people are buying into the idea versus it being forced on them, you get way better results.”“In the foreseeable future, there's no way AI is ever gonna be able to replicate the creativity of an individual.““If you're in a role that is either relationship-based (sales, relationship management…), or creative-based (marketing, design…), you're always gonna have an opportunity or a job.“Every piece of content that exists is just a riff on another piece of content.” ______________________________________________ Join our AI Sales Prompt Pro - Notion community here: https://skaled.com/insights/ai-sales-prompt-pro/ Registrations are OPEN for ‘Sales AI Unleashed', a webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey.

A very understated exercise in sales is the win/loss analysis. Too many companies consider this activity as an afterthought, while also wondering why their close rates or churn rates aren't as good as they should be.Having focused conversations with lost opportunities may not come top of mind, but this activity has the power to uncover invaluable insights that not only improve close rates but also shape the outlook of an organization.Today, Jake is joined by Michael Hoffman, cofounder and CEO of PastSight, to discuss why this simple activity can unlock massive business growth, and how you should go about it. Time stamps:(00:00) Intro(00:43) Knowing Why You Lose Deals(02:23) Why This Is Important(06:11) Reaching Out To Lost Opportunities(08:40) Losing Deals To No-Decision(14:05) Integrating This Into Your Sales Process(17:23) How This Helps With Customer Retention(20:30) Getting The Feedback Directly(21:52) Outro Quotes:“There are very few activities you can do as an organization that will move the needle faster than doing a win/loss analysis”.“All the insights that you're missing from not understanding why you're losing are a gold mine. That percentage of the deals that you're losing is such a black box and such a massive opportunity for companies.”“When a prospect tells you we lost to no-decision, we find that two-thirds of the time, that's not even true because people want to be nice.”“Listening to Gong calls, you can make assumptions of why you didn't win. But if you actually get the feedback from the customer, they're the ones that will tell you the truth, if you can get there.”______________________________ Join 800+ sales leaders in ‘SALES AI UNLEASHED', a 9-part webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey: https://bit.ly/sales-ai-unleashed-series Connect with Michael Hoffman:

When it comes to using chatGPT, we know that the quality of our input will determine the quality of our output. We've been saying it for months. But generative AI doesn't just exist to spit out text. It can create strategies, train people, and solve complex problems if you go about it the right way.There is an art and a science to using generative AI in an effective way. Prompt scenarios are part of that: they are how we think about using chatGPT BEFORE we even start prompting. And, to help sales leaders out there, Jake has prepared 6 prompt scenarios to help us extract more value from chatGPT. The Prompt Strategy of Role PlayingScenario PlanningLong-term PlanningResearchSkills TrainingBrain StormingLet's dive in!Registrations are now OPEN for ‘Sales AI Unleashed', a webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey.

In sales, we often put a lot of effort into the first meeting. Most of our prep goes into this initial conversation. Unfortunately, so many deals stall in the transition from the discovery call to the next meetings. That's why we should always do our due diligence and take later-stage conversations as seriously as the first one. In this episode, Jake covers:In-Depth Research: Get a better understanding of the decision-makers, companies, and industries involved.Value proposition: Address the specific pain points and goals of your prospect.Objections: Anticipate and address potential objections or concerns the target company might raise.Role-play scenarios: Learn to deal with difficult buyers and refine your communication skills through mock discussions. Registrations are now OPEN for ‘Sales AI Unleashed', a webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey.
