Podcasts about App Academy

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to make buying and selling in B2B remarkably easier.  My guest is Mark Fershteyn, Founder and CEO of Recapped. Mark is a tech entrepreneur on a mission. He has a passion for building things from scratch. He specifically prefers going from "zero to one" rather than maintaining existing systems, describing himself as someone who enjoys "bushwhacking through the jungle" and forging new trails. His entrepreneurial journey includes diverse experiences: He co-founded Tryhard Games LLC. Led sales at App Academy, a coding bootcamp, and has a remarkable history of taking on challenging situations. At Citrix, he volunteered to manage their worst-performing sales team - one where no one was making quota. Within 6-9 months, he transformed it into a top-three revenue-producing vertical. In Jun 2019, Mark founded Recapped, a customer collaboration platform that helps B2B sellers work more effectively with buyers.  Their mission: to solve the "messy middle" of sales and change the way how B2B sales teams collaborate with buyers and close deals.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited Mark to my podcast. We explore how he transformed Recapped from a side project into a game-changing deal collaboration platform, achieving a remarkable 44% win rate for customers - far above the industry standard of 15-18%. He reveals counterintuitive insights from his sales process optimization at Citrix and elaborates on his approach to building a remarkable software company. Last but not least, he shares his unusual incentive approach that helped him and his team to significantly grow a high-quality pipeline. Here's one of his quotes I fundamentally believe 90% of your Salesforce data should be client-facing and should be shared with the prospect... if you're not on the same page, get them out of your pipeline and go focus on deals that are actually going to move the needle. During this interview, you will learn four things: Why he would split the focus 50/50 between product and distribution if he would ever start again? How he's increased close rates by deliberately blending in more professional services How 10% of features but 10x the marketing can outperform having more features but less visibility How the science of selling is 80-90% of success, while art is only 10-20% - making the process repeatable matters more than individual talent For more information about the guest from this week: Mark Fershteyn Website: Recapped Subscribe to the Daily SaaS Reflection Get my free, 1 min daily reflection on shaping a B2B SaaS business no one can ignore.

Cześć! Dzisiaj ponownie goszczę Marcina Zarembę - eksperta od zarządzania produktami cyfrowymi. W poprzednim odcinku rozmawialiśmy o konwersji, a dokładniej - gdzie tak naprawdę ona zachodzi i dlaczego wcale nie w sklepie? W tym odcinku poruszymy temat niesprawiedliwej przewagi w ecommerce - unfair advantage. Jak konkurować z Amazonem czy Allegro, którzy w swoim asortymencie mają wszystko i to w niskich cenach? Jakie są drogi wejścia na rynek, na którym są już inni? Czy wchodzenie z produktem czy usługą, gdzie jest już konkurencja w ogóle ma sens? Wyszła z tego bardzo wartościowa rozmowa, którą powinien przesłuchać każdy, kto myśli o wejściu do ecommerce.Zapraszam do posłuchania! W dzisiejszym odcinku dowiesz się między innymi:Unfair advantage - o co chodzi?Jak to działa w e-commerce?Gdzie może być zlokalizowany unfair advantage?Bycie monopolistą - czy to powinno być Twoim celem?Jakie są prawdziwe motywacje klientów do zakupu produktu?Czy brak konkurencji to sytuacja idealna?Nie konkuruj z rynkiem kopiując go - dlaczego?O Marcinie ZarembieObecnie Product Director w uPacjenta.pl.

It's time to meet our 5th #Web3 #NFT guest on STIMY!Mai Akiyoshi is a Silicon Valley engineer from Japan who has had a rather unconventional route littered with what one might conventionally consider to be “failures”.And it all began… with Mai applying for a sales position at a Japanese company. The company decided unilaterally that they would train her up as a software engineer instead and it proved to be really difficult. She was consistently at the bottom of her cohort, but still made it through the training and… got into the most technically demanding department of the company, where she was treated like an alien!Mai then got into a startup by accident - applying for a position she had no prior qualifications in, and even tried to rescind her application! That position eventually led her to the States, where she met Ben Yu (her co-founder & partner) through Nuseir of Nasdaily/Nas Academy and where her Web3 journey began. Now, Mai is the CEO and co-founder of Curious Addys, a Web3 startup building the best educational platform and community for newcomers to Web3 while celebrating ADHD. She is building ember.help, a platform where anyone can ask questions on Web3 and get guaranteed answers from experts. If you're interested in all things Web3/thriving despite all the difficulties that life throws at you, then this is definitely the episode for you.Highlights:2:32 Growing up in Japan4:35 Being diagnosed with ADHD5:55 Being influenced by her grandparents, who founded their own company after World War II7:02 Wanting to go to the US8:27 Applying for a sales position & becoming a software engineer10:02 Japan's shaming culture11:29 Feeling like she'd landed on an alien planet 12:24 Moving to a new startup, Logbar14:18 Moving to the US15:03 How Nuseir of Nas Academy introduced her to Ben Yu & is the “mother” of Curious Addys16:56 Studying at App Academy 19:19 Becoming the senior software engineer at Gusto21:55 How Mai first entered the Web3 space22:51 Why Ethereum is so interesting23:37 Meeting Zeneca & helping him with his smart contract 24:47 Starting a Tamagochi education platform?26:54 Why NFTs are here to stay28:23 NFTs are the best way to bootstrap a community29:32 The vision behind Curious Addys' Trading Club: Education, Cute, NFTs32:07 Why an octopus for a mascot?33:56 The early days of building Curious Addys36:01 Finding her founding team members37:24 Maintaining the right values as the community grows39:28 100% refund policy40:15 Why release only 5,000 in the initial launch40:51 How they promoted Curious Addys' Trading Club42:02 Building partnerships 42:59 The type of products under Curious Addys' Trading Club44:39 What is Ember?47:03 NFT portfolio tracker 50:12 Reading smart contracts52:35 Mai's favourite NFT 53:53 What Mai believes in that most people don't in the crypto space54:15 Biggest mistake Mai has done in the Web3 space55:03 How to spot NFT/crypto scams

On today's show we interview Dane Mauland who shares with us his thoughts on excellence, discovering your passion, and hardcore work ethic.  Dan also reveals why he considers teaching to be the most important profession in the world. And he also shares with us how his district manager experience elevated his emotional intelligence – which eventually helped him evolve into a more effective teacher.  We start this show with Dan sharing his definition of excellence. Contrary to the popular school of thought, Dan shares that top performance alone is not sufficient for excellence. What you are doing has to be in your wheelhouse too. If you don't love your work, you will find it difficult to put in the time and effort required for consistent performance. To better illustrate his point, Dan shares with us his own work experiences. After graduating from University of Wisconsin, Dan decided to pursue investment banking. Even though he was really good at his job, Dan hated every minute of it. Eventually, Dan decided to pursue his love for coding at App Academy – a full-stack software training program with less than a 5% acceptance rate. On today's show, you will also get some important lessons in work ethic and prioritization. Learn how Dan managed to run a $130,000 painting business AND a cryptocurrency mining business while majoring in business at Wisconsin. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show Why teaching is the most important job in the world How my district manager stint taught me some important lessons in emotional intelligence Why life is long and short at the same time Time management and prioritization strategies  Sacrifices that I made in my twenties that I don't regret And so much more… Resources College Works   Edge Of Excellence Is Brought To You By College Works Painting Internship College Works Paintings provides college and university students a unique, life-transforming opportunity to build business management and leadership skills, hands-on.
