It doesn't really matter whether you're a really large company or really small company, you have to continue to find, keep and grow the value of customers, which is the essence of marketing. You can't stop looking for customers and doing that work, but you also have to focus on keeping them. In this episode, Laura Patterson, President of VisionEdge Marketing gives suggestions for smaller to mid-size companies about building an advisory panel from your customers and why that continues to build loyalty, resources for valuable information, and your ability to better serve all of your customers. This fits into the topic of budgets and getting away from a line-items from the past, compared to outcome-based recommendations to nimbly move forward. You will pick up several tips you can implement at your own company - no matter the size - in this episode, "Outcome-Based Budgets vs. Line Item Belt Tightening." ----more---- About Laura Patterson: Growth strategy consultant to business leaders.

As of late July 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 10.9 million job openings in the U.S. Job abundance? Definitely. Does that abundance correlate to high employee satisfaction and engagement? Sadly not. The Culture Works conducted a recent survey showing that 70% of organizations are currently making anxiety and well-being a top business priority. If hiring were such a finely-tuned process, and we truly understood how to value our marketing teams, we wouldn't witness this stress spike. It's time to revise and future-proof our hiring process for marketers and CMOs and create more mindful, engaged growth champions. In Episode 45 of The Mindful Marketer Life Stream, Erica Seidel and I explore this topic in depth. She is the founder of The Connective Good, a B2B retained search firm based in Boston, MA. Watch the LinkedIn Live replay now. Whether you're searching for a new role, or struggling to find great people, you'll benefit from this conversation. Watch the LinkedIn Live replay now. Here are some questions we explored with our live audience: ✔️ Is Your Story Future-Proofed? Erica Seidel, Executive Recruiter and Founder of The Connective Good, described why it is very important to adapt quickly to changes in the job market. "It's important to think of a product-market fit for yourself and always reevaluate your value proposition for the market; for whatever job you're going for." Start by writing and rehearsing your signature story with your peers. Does it resonate and inspire, or does it sound like a resume regurgitation? Click here for the replay. ✔️ Is the VP of Marketing or CMO role facing an“existential crisis?” Some people believe that it is--including me. Just look at how many marketing leaders now own a portion of the revenue goal, yet spend none of their time actually interacting with customers. Or their over-dependency on outside agencies for key roles that they cannot fill. Raj Rajamannar, the President and CMO of Mastercard, reported in The Drum. We are witnessing boards of directors and CEOs stripping CMOs of their original roles, such as pricing strategy. He goes on to cite that 70% of CEOs surveyed do not believe their CMOs actually contribute to company growth! ✔️ How are you balancing “selling talent” with “evaluating talent?” Employers can't just assume they can swoop in, make the highest cash offer, and hire the best candidate with a tight talent market. Erica believes that “you need to balance evaluating talent and selling talent...make sure to craft the best candidate experience." I have seen how larger organizations such as Kimberly-Clark and Amazon rely heavily on their marketing teams to optimize the candidate application experience, and tie their success directly to the healthy size and quality of their applicant pools. This is not HR's sole job any longer. ✔️Are you capable of juggling two brands at once? The first is brand priority is making sure your company's brand is safe, powerful and compelling. You also need to carve out time and energy to cultivate your personal brand as a leader, both within and outside the organization. Great marketers know how to manage those parallel paths. During our stream, we also heard from Tom Berray of Cabot Consultants . He offers four ways to future-proof your marketing career: Develop and nurture personal and professional relationships. Volunteer for boards and get actively involved and participate in those boards. Join and participate in professional marketing communities (NOT networking groups. Those offer limited value for senior roles, and they are a dime a dozen). Regularly and consistently experiment with new technologies. Click here for the replay to learn more. Thriving in ambiguity and uncertainty is the mark of a strong leader. That doesn't mean you can leave your career to a few supportive inside sponsors, or rest on your educational laurels.

Host Fawn Annan speaks to the CMO of a hot B.C.-based software company that's helping marketing organizations plan strategically and spend efficiently. Julia Stead explains the tools her company offer are not just about managing resources, but also managing the performance of those resources. Integrated directly with an organizations financial system, she says marketers can see the performance of every dollar they spend in real-time. While this may be the “holy grail of marketing” she warns Fawn that people still need to come first. "People make decisions, technology can't do that for us…and I don't see that changing.”

The Get: Finding And Keeping The Best Marketing Leaders in B2B SaaS
Julia Stead is unique as a B2B SaaS CMO because she defies the stats about the average tenure of B2B SaaS marketing leaders -- Julia spent over 7 years climbing the marketing ranks at Invoca before Erica placed her as CMO at Allocadia.

In Silicon Valley, the average tenure of a marketing leader is 6 to 18 months!). In Episode 2 of The Get, Erica and Julia talk about the anatomy of a CMO search: from the perspective of both the company and the winning candidate. Highlights: - Julia shares how she rose fast in her career , and why she believes it's important to go the distance with your employer (with secrets from her self-improvement plan!) - What should you look for in prospective companies to see if they have the right culture of growth/ support? - How is the CMO job different from the VP Marketing role? - Balancing brand and demand as a CMO - Structuring a B2B SaaS marketing team as the CMO - Vital tips for marketers aspiring to be CMOs in B2B SaaS companies Julia is a founding member of Women in Revenue – and tells us why it matters to women professionals in revenue marketing

In this episode, Kaitlin Lutz talks with Sam Melnick, VP of Marketing at Allocadia, all about how to budget for ABM. This episode is based off a blog that Sam wrote on the #FlipMyFunnel blog: https://flipmyfunnel.com/how-should-you-budget-for-abm/
Episode Title: Marketing Performance: Being Strategic About Marketing Ops with Jocelyn Brown, Allocadia It’s all about being ‘contextual’ this week on The Talking Stack! You hear the word ‘contextual’ and you think this is going to be about CX..but today we are talking about it in two different..well..contexts.. (sorry): the importance of context in measuring marketing performance; and the importance of context in buyer intent. Segment 1 with Jocelyn Brown from Allocadia is all about measurement and metrics, and Segment 2 is our quick takeaways from the Google Marketing Week and how it might impact the way you think about buyer intent and discovery as two sides of your programmatic adtech budget in 2020 and beyond! Segment 1: talking measurement and marketing ops with Jocelyn Brown First up, every marketers’ favorite (not) topic: performance measurement! We pick Jocelyn’s brains marketing ops and measurement best practices. Here is what we distilled it down to: 1. Approach measurement in the context of: o What your customers are trying to achieve o Your own organizational business goals o Your campaign and activity level goals o The dynamic internal and external environment o What you are trying to achieve with the metrics 2. Prioritize the metrics you really need based on: - Your goals and desired outcomes - Achievability - Internal audiences (hint: not every metric needs to be shared with everyone) 3. What mistakes do marketers make with measurement? - Too many metrics without purpose - ‘One core metric’ - Getting lost in operational data - Being inconsistent in measuring a metric 4. What skills do marketing ops specialists need today? - Understanding their own and their customer’s business - Data literacy/ systems thinking - Being a storyteller and connecting all the users of the metrics back to the business goals 5. How can we leverage marketing ops in more strategic ways? - Tie everything back to business goals - Involve marketing ops in planning so they can deliver more strategic outcomes - Help them create a winning ‘marketing experience’ for marketers who create winning customer experiences BONUS: Allocadia shares their martech stack Allocadia’s stack is all about driving value in conversations. And so, aside from CRM (Salesforce) and Marketing Automation (Marketo), they also have Pathfactory to help track and measure content consumption, Salesloft to sift through relevant conversations, Drift conversational marketing for acquisition, and Gainsight to help visualize data and prioritize tasks. Jocelyn also believes in her Nudge.ai tool to measure the depth and strength of customer relationships (Talking Stack listeners will recall meeting Dave Gerhardt from Drift and Steve Woods from Nudge.ai on the show! Check out those episodes to learn more about what they do to help with your goals) As a thumb rule, says Jocelyn, Allocadia tries to create a stack that helps focus on adoption metrics (very crucial for them as a SaaS) and facilitates customer conversations around value (crucial as a customer-centric company). SEGMENT 2: At 25.00 – Google Marketing Week 2019 takeaways – - Its about a new approach to intent – it’s all about balancing ‘contextual intent’ and ‘discovery’ Plus: - Anand wants more ‘dumb intelligence’ in the advertising he sees! - David manages to use ‘Borges’ and ‘Bayesian Hypothesis’ in a ten-minute span
In this episode Jocelyn talks about: Data supported decision making Why it's not about ROI Marketing performance management

On this episode, Brian Hansford, VP of Client Services at Heinz Marketing hosts Sam Melnick, VP of Marketing at Allocadia. Look for the full transcription on our blog starting Monday, 5/28/18. In this episode we're talking about a mid-year review. As Sam says, "It all starts with the plan. So whether you're planning for next year or whether you're looking at what's going on in real time, measuring performance in real time or if you're doing that kinda half year look back, to me, it all starts with the plan. That's your roadmap. You set out your intentions. You set out where do we wanna spend time and money. What do we expect to get out of our time and money? And now you get that chance to compare results and hopefully adjust and improve. Brian asks Sam several great questions! Listen in to hear Sam's replies! When marketers are at both the strategic levels, CMO level and even operational level, are reviewing that data, what are some of the best practices that you see with your clients and even that you recommend in how they manage their budgets against the plan and make decisions on where to invest their resources? What should they look at in terms of reviewing their plan? How can they look at the data that they've been collecting and analyze that performance up to this point and use that to make plan adjustments and moving forward? Do you feel that marketers are getting better at measuring their performance against revenue? The revenue attainment and what they're actually doing to drive results. What are your thoughts on that and how should marketers consider using that when adjusting for a strong second half? Should marketers wait for a mid-year point to measure what's working? How often should they analyze what's working with a marketing performance management approach and solution and make those go, no go, or any sort of adjustment decisions, pulling investments, adding investments? More from Sam: I am an analytically driven marketing professional who has experience as a marketing leader, industry analyst, and customer success manager at a marketing technology company. My special talent is the ability to focus on details or specifics to execute, but also step back and distill this information at a higher, more strategic level. I am a student of marketing and will never stop learning about and discussing marketing. Some of my favorite topics are: Marketing technology, marketing benchmarks, change management within marketing, and building high performing teams. Feel free to reach out if you want to connect around interesting ideas, projects, companies, and/or tools! Outside of work I love skiing, basketball, and cooking. Additionally, I am a barbecue and craft beer aficionado.
Sam Melnick, VP of Marketing at Allocadia, and I reveal the key steps to having a happy and successful career journey.
