Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast, I am Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Tim Ohai from Workday join us. Tim. I would love for you to introduce yourself, your role in your organization to our audience. Tim Ohai: Hey, aloha everybody. This is Tim Ohai and I am a director at Workday. We provide cloud-based solutions in HR, and fins, and strategic sourcing, and employee engagement areas. I work specifically with our Salesforce globally around helping them figure out how to be better in the conversations and interactions they’re in. And we work heavily with not only the AEs, but the RSDs, the RVPs, and then cross-functionally with our pre-sales organization and value, etc. And I get to play in all those spaces. SS: I love that, Tim. And we’re so excited to have you here today. We’ve been connected for some time and on LinkedIn, you actually wrote an article earlier this year on the impact of poor decision-making. So I’d love to start there with our conversation. What are some of the factors that can drive poor decision-making for business leaders these days and how can poor decision-making impact the organization? TO: Wow. So, yeah, that’s a huge topic because I’ll lead off with this idea that the number one reason that businesses fail is poor decision-making. And you could take that down to initiatives and projects, etc. Decision-making is where you not only get off on the right foot, but you stay on the right foot all the way through to execution. The biggest problem I see is there’s often a lack of clarity of what success looks like and in that article you mentioned, I talk about goal clarity and role clarity, and they’re huge. Man, go back to the 1970s and then the eighties with GE when they were pushing really hard to be a number one or number two in their industries and one of the things that they drove, part of the secret of their success back then, was to make sure people had goal clarity and role clarity. The result is, if you make it really clear what success looks like and bring people into alignment so they all have the same goal, they’re all pursuing the same definition of success, it’s amazing how people naturally just clean up in their efforts. The same thing then comes right down with role clarity. If you know what the goal is, and everybody is doing their job and not undoing somebody else’s job or redoing somebody else’s job, it changes the entire execution. So all of those elements are contingent upon great decision-making. Unfortunately, A, we don’t provide that clarity so people wind up making their own information up as they go and that affects decision-making in the moment. And B, we have a tendency to inject a lot of bias in how we think, so if we don’t have that information, we don’t have that clarity, then you wind up seeing leaders actually stumble over each other. Well-intentioned, wonderful human beings are literally causing conflict in their own organizations and it’s really true. It’s really true in sales enablement. So when I think about how poor decision-making impacts an organization, I have to think about how great decision-making impacts an organization. That’s where I would say, what can you do as a sales enablement professional to both surface that idea, bring it into the discussion and say, okay, how can we make sure that we’ve got clarity? Because if you’re asking the question, what does success look like? You can go one step further and say, what’s the outcome you’re looking for? What are the metrics we’re going to apply? And what are the requirements you’re expecting as a sponsor of this initiative that we should all know? I’m amazed at how often those three questions get, well, I won't say blank stares, but you will get senior leaders and senior executives going, that’s a great question, I haven’t thought that through. So it cleans up dramatically, not only your alignment with your executive sponsor, but all of a sudden when that is stated and then shared, everybody starts moving in the same direction without even telling people they need to make better decisions, they’re going to. SS: I love that and I think that leads into the next question. I’d love some advice for our audience. What are some things that leaders, from your perspective, can do to make better, more impactful decisions? TO: Well, that whole definition of success conversation is critical, I start there. Actually, I’ll start with who’s the sponsor and what’s their definition of success? People often say it’s got to be better and I go, well, so that’s not very specific, walk me through the outcome that they’re really looking for and how we’re going to measure it. If people have that answer, fantastic, we aligned very quickly. If they don’t, then it becomes a door opener. Should we go talk to that person now and ask them directly? Or can you do that? It’s always better, of course, to go there with that person, but it’s not always possible. But when you get that clarity, one of the things I’ll ask is, especially if I’m talking to the leader directly, I’ll ask him or her I’ll say, “Hey, are you saying that if we achieve this outcome, we measure it this way, and we meet the requirements that you just stated, and I’ll list them out, you promise you won’t complain about anything else?” That last question it’s incredibly crystallizing because if a leader is spot-on then they go, “Nope,” and that’s exactly what I want. Fantastic, we’re ready to run. But if they have that intake of air, they go, “Oh let me think for a second,” it completely changes the entire dialogue and goes one click deeper and you really make sure you’re getting those spoken and unspoken things figured out. But the key here is that you're having that leader say something that they may have only said in their head. If you can really master that conversation, all the other things that are in your toolkit open up. If you take away that conversation, all the other tools in your toolkit become an extra weight to carry. SS: Now you alluded to data earlier in your response and you also wrote an article on how to make data meaningful. I’d love to learn from you, how can sales enablement leverage data to make better decisions and what is the impact of doing so? TO: Sure. So in that article, I talked about how a lot of times we over-rotate into our pipeline data and my experience, actually what we do at Workday and what we teach our leaders as an expectation, even we’re changing how we run our QBRs, lead with the people data first. Your people data are driving what you’re seeing on your pipeline data. So if you have great results, or you have horrible results, or you have in-between results, at least 80% of the time, that’s going to be driven by people's gaps or people's strengths. So when I talk about people data, I’m looking at the classic stuff like, do we even have people enrolled? So in some places, especially right now with a great resignation, there is a lot of open headcounts and at the same time, we’re calling it the great swap, because there are some people leaving, but there are people coming in. We have this nether space to fill, but at the same time, it’s going deeper. So people data for us is around the capabilities of the individual players, not just AEs, but also the sales leaders themselves. So we have two different frameworks and that people data tells us that if people struggle, for example with account planning, we have correlational data from our analysis that says, “Hey, that’s going to affect your win rate.” Or we have a gap in deal size, or we see some groups are doing better than others. We can go into the people data and see which capabilities are driving win rate and which capabilities are driving deal size and get very specific by market. We can then tie into how we do things with other leaders, like around recruiting or even promotion and saying, “You want to copy your best performers? Then use this people data to drive those sales results. From this, we’re literally seeing regions around the globe turn around their performance by leveraging people data before their pipe data and that's the game-changer. Unfortunately, if you only focus on pipe first and maybe people data comes later, or if people data comes at all, you want to play whack-a-mole. How do we increase our win rate? How do we get deals? How do we get better velocity? How do we get all of those different things, better presentation rates, et cetera? It’s just whack-a-mole and you’re going to constantly be chasing after KPI busting instead of actually driving a true revenue engine. SS: Absolutely. I love the whack-a-mole analogy. I was playing that with my son yesterday. TO: Hey folks, if you’re laughing at whack-a-mole or more important, or you’re living in whack-a-mole, trust me, we all are. SS: No, I love that. Now you mentioned this earlier and you also actually wrote an article on this, which we’ll share with our audience later, that when functions within an organization compete with each other, that time and resources are just completely wasted. So how can sales enablement gain internal alignment to kind of help increase that efficiency and maximize business impact across the organization by creating a sense of collaboration? TO: So that’s a huge topic, right? So let’s back up. We open with, how do we really drive a great business? With decision-making and one of the most important decisions you can make is how you prioritize. I go so far as to say, prioritization is the Achilles' heel of strategy. You can have a great strategy, I mean, a phenomenal strategy, and you can have really smart people, really highly collaborative inputs, but when it comes to execution if you don’t prioritize appropriately, what’s going to happen is either, A, everything is a priority therefore for nothing is, and or, B, resources will be used in the wrong way. So because you didn’t prioritize accordingly, you don’t have the resources you need when you’re in the middle of execution. That is what I’m talking about when I see functions competing with each other, whether it’s marketing and sales, or business development, or enablement, and field sales ops, and corporate sales ops and all these other groups because everybody is trying to help. Let’s just pause and recognize that nobody’s trying to break this thing. Everybody’s trying to help, but if we don’t prioritize together and really create a unified roadmap then we’re going to struggle to execute. That is when you start getting into how to get a much tighter, shorter list of focused objectives? Then we put everything we have behind the shorter, tighter list. That’s really the key here. SS: Absolutely. Now I want to close on a question, because from my perspective and I’d be willing to bet you agree with me Tim, I do believe that sales enablement is a significantly strategic arm of the business within any organization and in particular, I think that they are uniquely positioned to help the executive team set the strategy within the business. I want to kind of tie that back into the topic at hand. How, from your perspective, is enablement uniquely positioned to help executive leaders in their decision-making? As an enablement leader, what are some of your best practices for bringing insights to the leadership team to help inform their strategy? TO: Wow. So this could be its own podcast by itself. It’s really big. It’s a big thing because if you don't position yourself as a true business partner with your business leaders, you’re going to lose your credibility and credibility is our currency. It’s true in sales and it’s very true in enablement. If you don’t have credibility, you’ve got no resources, so to speak, to be able to leverage when it comes to making a difference in the business. I want to be very clear on what I say, so I’ve got three points for this question. The first one is, start with understanding is the request from the business or the need for the business to transform or optimize? Because if you’re putting a lot of your time and energy behind optimizing things, when the real need is to transform, you’re going to lose your credibility. Then you’ll be given what I’ll call the tactical projects and everybody’s got onboarding, we all get that, but you may be just onboarding. That may be all you get to do because just make it better, just fix it, just to keep it going. If you really need to understand how to position yourself differently, that is a whole other discussion. But, start with understanding is the need to transform or is the need to optimize? Transformation, I always challenge or I press and lean in on the conversation, so I'll go, “So how much disruption are you asking me to generate? Because if you’re not going to give me permission to disrupt, I cannot transform. Or if you want me to optimize, then I get the goal of optimization is to minimize or reduce disruption,” and have that discussion as well. That’s first and foremost because that sets your strategy and unfortunately, sometimes you get in a case where you get transformation overload. Everything has changed and you just need to stop and pause and say, “Look, leaders, stakeholders, everyone. Let’s calm down for a minute. Let’s pull the firehose back. Can we go spend some time, maybe a quarter, maybe a year on just reinforcing what we’ve already transformed and just optimize it? One of our leaders talks about extra coats of paint. Can we just get extra coats of paints on this thing and even just give it time to dry? If you do that, just by that alone, you’re going to position yourself as a huge business advisor to the leaders that you’re serving. Secondly then, is to focus on manager enablement. The number one enablement you can give any AE is a great manager and that is beyond salespeople. Invest in leadership development and invest in manager enablement. The way I kind of test how we’re doing overall as an industry is, how many individual seller podcasts are out there versus how many sales leader podcasts are out there? There are a few really good ones. One of my favorites I’ll give a shout-out to is Mike Weinberg, just as a person, he gets this, but generally speaking, there is a constant appetite for leaders to find stuff and they have to often go outside of sales leadership and get into generic leadership, where there is a gap in how we provide manager enablement. But, if you can be that gap, if you could bring in your own leaders, do your own internal podcasts, that’d be huge. But it’s beyond podcasts, it’s really about getting involved and helping people grow and develop into the best version of themselves as a senior leader and not as an individual contributor. Lastly, that gets right into this third point of are you trying to fix the system, or are you trying to fix the function? Not everybody has this mandate though, so I want to be careful here with this last one because this is a little bit of playing with fire. But, our reality is that our customers need us to show up in the most coordinated way possible and that means we need to think like systems thinkers, not just function thinkers. It’s not just about helping sales, it’s about helping the sales experience and more importantly, that customer experience and designing backward. I love the way that we’re starting to talk now about the customer journey and that broader, bigger perspective of how do we design backward from that customer’s experience, from the very beginning and all the way through to renewal? We need to be thinking around that whole system because it’s the content, it’s the technology and tools, it’s the behaviors, and it’s the coordination of all those things that come together. If you really, really, really want to change your game as an enablement pro, go there. SS: I love that, Tim. Thank you so much for taking the time out to join our podcast and provide this advice to our audience. I really appreciate the time, Tim. Thank you. TO: My genuine pleasure.

The digitization of the world's economy has accelerated in recent years. The changes brought about by the information age have revolutionized marketing and advertising. A crucial aspect of the sophisticated pipeline structures used by modern businesses is sales development. Pipelines are instrumental to a company's growth, and my guest today has a record of building SDR teams that maximize pipeline potential. With over 25 years of sales and operations experience in the technology sector, Lars Nilsson is a global leader in enterprise software and selling solutions. Currently, he is VP of Global Sales Development at Snowflake and CEO of Sales Source, a premier consulting firm specializing in industry-leading best practices and advisory for optimizing sales teams.  Before his time at Snowflake, Lars was VP of Global Inside Sales at Cloudera. Together with his team, they developed the sales methodology known as Account-Based Sales Development (ABSD). It has transformed how many businesses approach their high-value targets. Lars has also worked in sales executive roles at ArcSight/Hewlett Packard, Riverbed Technology, and Portal Software. Listen to today's show, where I spoke with Lars about his successful building sales development teams. Sales Development Versus Business Development Sales and business development sometimes seem like they can mean the same thing. I asked Lars whether he distinguishes the two. He told me that some companies would choose to have hybrid teams, but more mature teams will segment them.  “If you're just starting, the odds are your SDR is doing both inbound and outbound,” he said. Lars pointed to Salesforce.com as an example of a company that has segmented business development and sales development. Their sales development team are newer hires and handle inbound leads from internal channels. They can later graduate into business development. There, they take outbound cold prospecting. As a minor operation, our reps get market development by mixing in some closing experience as part of their daily routine. When sales development reps have two roles to fill, they can naturally lean toward one or the other and need to be managed more closely. Lars mentioned that he thinks sales development positions should have a clear progression path into carrying a quota.  Listen to our entire episode to hear all of his thoughts on balancing the two functions. Optimizing Density Coverage Sales development's role is to find opportunities for their quota-carrying counterparts. They want meetings with the right people at the right time.  But how do you find the correct ratio of SDRs to AEs? Lars recalled his time working with Portal Software. His manager, Bernie Scomra, realized that his reps would need to prospect and close to support the pipeline they had started. He asked Lars to design a team so that his salespeople would not have to prospect. That was in 1997, and at the time, the ratio was one sales development rep to every five account executives. “Imagine one SDR managing the personalities and the schedules of five AEs. You don't get the efficiency,” he said. There are now 20 years of data and studies on different companies' SDR. Lars says one SDR per three AEs is a good standard for mid-market enterprises. A one-to-one ratio is generous, but the payoff is more pipeline than you would ever imagine at one-to-three. Procore is an example of a company that turned its pipeline growth around by going even further. For a time, they had two sales development representatives for every one account executive. Tune in to the podcast to hear more about our experiences fine-tuning SDR to AE density within our teams. The Role of SDR Managers What kind of coaching and training should the frontline manager focus on? The onboarding programs that sales development reps have to absorb at the entry-level are denser than in the past. SDR managers often bear responsibility for supporting the process.  Lars said there needs to be support networks outside of the SDR manager for efficient frontline operations. “In my opinion, you need a lot more dedicated ops for SDRs than you do for account execs.” The frontline SDR manager shouldn't need to serve as much of a training and onboarding function. More room for them to work together on the line with new hires is more efficient. They need time to lean in and give some over-the-shoulder coaching.  SDR teams supported by reliable operations are what Lars calls the most lethal pipeline generators. Hear what Lars had to say about what he looks for as the best predictor for future success in a new hire by listening to the whole discussion. SDR Marketing Integration I was surprised to learn that at Snowflake, Lars' SDR team also works closely on the company's marketing model. The company uses what is called Account Based Marketing. That means that they focus and segment their salesforce into groups that target specific accounts as a company. A dedicated function works to develop innovative campaigns that reach out to targeted personas and companies globally.  By tying sales and marketing together more closely, their campaigns are more efficient and avoid common mistakes that are simply the result of sales and marketing teams adopting principles independently of one another. “I think that's probably one of the bigger disconnects. When I look back at my career at all the dysfunction that happened... teams didn't spend a lot of time together,” he said. I asked Lars if the new approach had led to any change in compensation design at Snowflake. He said there were no compensation changes for the sales development team but that the marketing organization had pipeline generation goals.  Check out the complete audio and hear more about how Snowflake uses a shared CRO to tie its sales and market teams together. Performance Targets for SDR Teams In April of this year, my company did a study asking our reps what the most challenging part of selling was and 69% answered prospecting. We've been evaluating who we assign the prospecting role to and are closely watching how our compensation plan ties our MDMs' performance to a revenue number for their region. Lars and I spoke about what model Snowflake uses to set performance targets. They primarily look at the number of meetings and how many wind up as qualified opportunities in the pipeline.  While their metrics are weighted toward the number of meetings, it's better to base them on meeting alone supplemented by spiffs for opportunities and closed deals.  “Tying comp and reaching quota to something that you have very little control over or no control over is a pain point,” he said.  “It's still at the end of the day up to the account executives whether or not they're going to put it into their pipeline.”  I asked him what the compensation is per meeting at Snowflake. He estimates that their plan yields sales development reps approximately $150 to $200 and is based on a monthly quota with a range between 12 and 22 meetings. Play the entire episode to hear everything Lars says about Snowflake's growth strategy and what strategies he's employing to grow his global sales development team.

Ned Pyle is back and he's got cool news! Richard chats with Ned about some of the features coming down the pipe for file storage in Windows Server 2022. First up is encryption - Server 2022 will have direct support for AES-256. Sure, it's overkill for many scenarios, but some organizations are demanding it, so here it is. Ned also talks about SMB Compression - while it has existed for xcopy et al for a while, now you'll be able to enable compression across any mapped drive. Finally, there is SMB over QUIC - file sharing over the internet that is secure by default, and much more efficient than VPNs. File sharing is never going away - how can you do it better!

We've talked about a lot of the cybersecurity problems. I'm going to talk now about what Microsoft is doing with Windows 11, a lot of hardware out there right now, anyways, will not run windows 11. So what is Microsoft doing to solve this problem? Microsoft has been blamed for many of the problems we've had with computers and computer security for a long time. And between us, they're doing these things that caused security problems because of us, because of the users of windows. Microsoft seems to continually try and support the older software and older hardware till very recently, you could still run windows XP 95, 98 programs on your windows machine, on your new windows. [00:01:05] Back then Microsoft. I had shoe horned in the internet protocols and tried to, make it secure. They ended up buying. I'm trying to remember now, cause I worked on this code. Way back when I think it was the spider implementation of TCPI P out of Ireland, that Microsoft ended up using as a base. [00:01:25] And I fixed quite a few bugs in that, and there were many more to come, but I wasn't focused on cybersecurity back then on the software. And frankly, most people weren't Microsoft just wanted. Out and they wanted to make sure they were compatible with the older software. So where we, you and I are part of the problem. [00:01:47] We complain when Microsoft comes up with something that's not compatible. And as a programmer, I complain every time. But not just Microsoft, but apple or Linux or whatever it is, comes up with a new interface, a new quote, better way of doing things unquote with their systems, whatever it might be. And, I guess it's nice to bellyache, but in most of these cases, they're making changes to help make the systems better and often better means more secure. [00:02:23] And that's what they're doing right now with Microsoft windows 11. So they had an announcement here this last week, talking about. A requirement for a TPM chip. Now TPM means trusted platform module, and the basics of a trusted platform module are to have on the chip and most. So the case is the modern Intel chips. [00:02:53] So ones that have been out for four years or so, as well as some of them more modern AMD chips have this TPM built in. And what the TPM is as trusted platform module is a small amount of storage that gives you the ability to store keys and to do basic cryptography. Now they're requiring the TPM 2.0 implementation for windows 11, which makes sense. [00:03:27] It has a little bit stronger encryption in it, but in the windows world, what this is going to do is make sure that the brute force attacks that can happen at boot time don't work. So they're trying to brute force the way into that trusted platform module and to make sure that the rest of the boot is not interfered. [00:03:54] So that's all Microsoft is going to be doing with it. It that's a good thing, frankly. I think it's a very good thing for them to start using this. Many of us have computers already that have TPMS built in and the TPM 2.0, and with MTPM sitting there, it isn't doing us any good. So Microsoft is going to take care of that. [00:04:16] So I'm happy about that. It's going to help with secure. But it's not very good, frankly. That is only a small part of the security problem you and I have because our security problem extends to all kinds of things. So let's talk about what apple has done because. Yeah. You know what I'm about to say, right? [00:04:39] I'm about to say that apple has done it correctly. The TPMS wish they could be. They dream of being an apple T2 because this T2 processor that apple has had for awhile has a lot more functionality. It has what apple calls, their secure enclave processor. So if you have an iPhone, for instance, that does face ID or fingerprint ID. [00:05:06] All of that information is stored in this secure enclave. That means it is not sending your face up to apple. It is not sending your fingerprint up to apple is not sending it anywhere. It keeps it locally on the desk. In fact, this apple T2 chip also processes all of your disc activity. So your solid state storage that's on your device. [00:05:34] Goes through this T2 chip audio, video image, signal processing, SSD controller, the secure enclave, AEs cryptography engine and the system management controller all live inside this T2 chip. Okay. So a TPM, like what Microsoft is going to be using is kindergarten compared to what apple is. Which doesn't mean there aren't bugs or haven't been bugs in the T2 chip, but it is designed for security and it's a really cool, and it has this other function that the enclave micro with the Encore, the microphone is always disabled. [00:06:16] Whenever the lid is shut on that laptop. Because again, it goes through this T two chip. So it's helping to preserve your privacy. Even if the phone were to be hacked, it couldn't get at it because the electrical signals for again, audio video the disc controller, all go through the apple T2 chip, and apple has tried very hard to try and make sure that they are secure. [00:06:47] So maybe Apple's slipped a little bit recently, but their T2 chip is absolutely. I'm going to quote here professor Buchanan he calls it a work of art compared with this loan. TPM chip is what he says. Oh, absolutely amazing. It is a problem. In fact, do you remember this whole list, Sonya and hack? [00:07:11] A couple of years back where Estonia had issued ID cards to everybody and they could be used for financial transactions, et cetera. And about half of them were completely hackable. Again, it was a T2 chip flaw because they were not generating proper random keys when they were making these codes. So it's interesting. [00:07:37] We could really get into that and the history of it and the NSA and what they did, blah, blah, blah. But it's really a good thing to follow. This is the TPM chip. Thank goodness. Microsoft is raising the bar again, and that means that the leader. Microsoft surface tablet, the high-end one, the $5,000 tablet. [00:07:59] Which does not have a TPM 2.0 chip will not work with windows 11. So keep an eye on this. I'll keep an eye on it for you as well. The, this means basically that app, that not apple, that Microsoft is going to have to change up his game a little bit, and they might decide to not require TPM 2.0 because even hardware Microsoft has been selling does not support this very baseline. [00:08:28] Primitive cybersecurity that basically only protects your booting. Okay. So again, apple wins whole hands down now. You're I think you're starting to get the idea of why I recommend apple over anything, Microsoft and now apple making their own chips makes me really happy. They'll be able to be even more secure. [00:08:50] I'm using an M1 based apple mini right now, and I am just amazed at how good. This little device is very fast and quite secure. All right, everybody stick around. There's a whole lot more to talk about and we're going to get into it in some detail all here, but if we really want to fight the climate crisis, we've absolutely got to embrace nuclear power.
