Refine Labs is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Aspireship, offering a robust learning program that teaches the core principles and practical applications of the Refine Labs B2B Marketing Strategy. Aspireship, known for its innovative approach to skill advancement, will be launching the B2B Marketing Intensive module, leveraging Refine Labs' library of Vault Intellectual Property. Megan and Corey sat down together on Refine Labs' Stacking Growth podcast to discuss theories behind the resurgence of partnership-based go-to-market strategies, their intrinsic challenges, and how to follow a formula for success. The Revival of Partnership Strategies in B2B Marketing To cut through the volume of digital noise, companies are starting to gravitate back towards co-marketing strategies. This resurgence correlates with the search for strategies that drive word-of-mouth referrals which are, according to Megan, the most authentic form of marketing. Corey expands on this shift, indicating economic changes as a catalyst: "It's financially motivated...Capital became expensive...companies have to be a lot more efficient." By successfully leveraging partnerships, companies aim to scale without incurring heavy upfront costs and ensure a return on every invested dollar. However, the excitement around partnerships doesn't guarantee success. Megan sheds light on the operational reality where many eager attempts at partnerships lead to a dead-end due to lack of genuine referral exchange or substantial financial motivation.  They both agree that for partnerships to work, companies need to be strategic in campaigning for agreements that go above and beyond cross-posting on LinkedIn. The Three Pillars of Effective Partnership Formation Megan outlines three distinct requirements for successful partnerships: Enhance Customer Experience and Outcome At the core of any partnership should lie an improvement to the customer's experience or outcome that neither company could provide singly.  Financial Benefits for All Parties Partnerships must offer clear financial advantages to both companies involved and, importantly, the customer; these financial gains must be substantial enough to incentivize action from all parties. Justification of the Investment A partnership's worth hinges on the sustained investment of time and resources, so aligning the partnership with company priorities is crucial. When partners can see the potential for significant revenue and have authentic mutual buy-in, their dedication to the partnership's success naturally escalates.  As Corey's enthusiasm for taking the Vault course himself attests, creating a partnership with shared excitement and belief in each other's services can lead to profound implications, broadening market access while bolstering credibility and reach for both companies. “Everyone wants to be good at marketing”, Corey plainly states, and this partnership between Refine Labs and Aspireship will ensure access and opportunities for everyone to start or enhance their journey to be a good marketer.

Christine currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. Christine joins us today to reveal how identifying difficulties in hiring consistently good talented people for selling environments led to the creation of Aspireship, a course platform allowing someone without experience to learn foundational selling. She explains how such untapped potential – when trained – can be matched with a company whose focus is on the employee's competency and ability rather than their previous resume. Christine takes a holistic look over workforces and why she thinks it's important everyone in a business, from marketing to accounts, should understand selling when representing a company. She also discusses the role of leadership when placing new hires in an organization and how vital these leaders are for the success and longevity of such placements. “Do a roleplay. Feel how it feels.

Christine Rogers is the President & COO at Aspireship. In today's episode, we discuss the greater role of competency over experience in becoming successful as a SaaS seller. Although there is a traditional preference for salespeople who have experience selling SaaS, Aspireship provides a course that highlights individuals who may not have the experience in SaaS but have proven, through actual work, that they in fact excel at sales. We unravel how their course provides this service free of charge and their 92% rate of success in placing reps in good standing. HIGHLIGHTS Aspireship: Finding competence and character over experience Training on objection handling, Salesforce, and customer experience Roleplaying tests detail-orientedness and its application Teachers and the hospitality industry are good at sales Helping talent acquisition find the best talent QUOTES Christine: "I believe that most sales leaders will tell you that some of their best hires they've ever made didn't look great on paper but they've done extremely well. And they're trying to replicate that over and over again. Like, how do I find more of those people that are the diamonds in the rough that nobody would give a chance?”  Christine: "The most interesting thing is watch them do the work and then look at the resume and you'll be surprised that they haven't had that experience, and watch them do it. They actually can. So we're showing and showcasing people in a totally different way and it's all through the product." Christine: "We look at the 90-day mark. Are they in good standing? And currently, we're at 92% of our grads that we placed are in good standing in the companies that they're in at the 90-day mark. So they're in good standing, so I think that's a really important metric." Christine: "If you've been in our space for any length of time, you know that there's some antiquated thinking that, in order to get great people that want to stay for any length of time, you're going to have to do something different."

“My B2B SaaS startup needs just more warm leads. But we have struggled when we hire junior salespeople to call on and email cold prospects to generate qualified leads that the CEO or salespeople can close.” This is a common frustration for startup and early-stage SaaS founders when they hire sales development reps (SDRs) or business development reps (BDRs) to generate qualified leads. There are many misconceptions and pitfalls that make this even more challenging. Christine Rogers shares her expertise on what is working and not working when hiring SDRs to generate or warm-up leaders in the modern software business. Christine is an experienced SaaS sales leader who has helped develop thousands of SaaS sales and SDR reps to succeed at growing software companies through her company Aspireship. In this episode, Christine explains: What are the different tasks and roles of sales development reps (SDRs) and business development reps (BDRs) in growing SaaS companies What tools, processes, and ideal customer definitions are required before you hire your first SDR Which SaaS business models make the most sense to use SDRs in the sales process Which outbound lead development approaches are productive in generating qualified discussions What compensation ranges are typical for SDRs this year How to think about SDR business goals and targets If you should hire one SDR or a sales manager-doer as your first sale hire When should founders hire “full-cycle” salespeople instead of a lead gen-only SDR Learn more at practicalfounders.com.

We had a wonderful open conversation about culture, transparency, honesty, trust, and leadership. We knew this conversation would be powerful with Andrew Kolikoff and Christine Rogers. Here is a bit of story that started off the conversation: During the planning of this particular Culture Crush Business Podcast episode, there was a different team member from Aspireship that was supposed to be on the podcast as our guest. As we were approaching the show date, she informed our team that she was in the process of transitioning and leaving the company so it made sense to bring Christine on the show instead. Our team wanted to make sure that this original guest was not leaving the company because of the culture and in reality we found out the complete opposite. Not only is that individual leaving the company on positive terms, but they are leaving with grace, transparency and the support of Christine, the company COO, and the rest of the team. This should be an example that we all live by. Now this story was not the entire conversation of the show, but it gives you a taste of where we started. This podcast was not only full of stories, but it was full of examples. There are numerous examples in this podcast of ways that leaders can improve the culture, in baby steps, within their organizations. What does that look like: Be intentional. Be human. Own your mistakes. Be transparent. Power of pause. Pause and take a moment if you need it. Think- how can you show up at that moment? Build cohesion with your team. Create space for your staff to be vulnerable. Be curious. Take a listen and hear the stories and examples that can help you improve your team culture, trust, and connection. As Andrew says, “It takes one soul at a time.” Aspireship is an industry recognized reskilling and job placement platform that helps motivated individuals pivot their career into SaaS sales. Christine Rogers is a seasoned sales and marketing leader with over 15 years of recruiting, hiring, training, and managing high-performing sales teams. Extensive background is complemented by individual experience owning a small business, giving a unique perspective to managing and growing organizations of any size. Recognized as a passionate people leader who maximizes team performance and drives results by multiplying talents for success.

Connect with Christine on LinkedIn. Aurelius is creating cultures of empowered leadership (and teams) to execute innovative growth strategies through both authentic trust building and behavior transformation. Andrew Kolikoff is a multiple time C-Level executive/company founder, one time landing him on the Cover Page of USA today for a product he invented and received licensing from the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL in 2003. Since that time, Andrew has dedicated his life to behaviorally elevating and transforming leaders' lives. Now, Andrew is an inspirational speaker, author, leadership and culture transformation guru/coach. While he brings with him his additional, wonderfully diverse experiences: 10+ years of not-for-profit board chairmanship, former chief science officer, university adjunct professor, and national director of business development, Andrew's true gift has always shown up in HOW he delivers the change and growth. As he says, before you can authentically create a culture of accountability, authenticity and scaled profitability… each leader first has to “see themselves for who they truly are and align themselves with themselves”. Connect with Andrew on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. About Culture Crush Culture is not just a tag word to be thrown around.

Christine Rogers is the President & COO at Aspireship. In today's episode, we discuss the greater role of competency over experience in becoming successful as a SaaS seller. Although there is a traditional preference for salespeople who have experience selling SaaS, Aspireship provides a course that highlights individuals who may not have the experience in SaaS but have proven, through actual work, that they in fact excel at sales. We unravel how their course provides this service free of charge and their 92% rate of success in placing reps in good standing. HIGHLIGHTS Aspireship: Finding competence and character over experience Training on objection handling, Salesforce, and customer experience Roleplaying tests detail-orientedness and its application Teachers and the hospitality industry are good at sales Helping talent acquisition find the best talent QUOTES Christine: "I believe that most sales leaders will tell you that some of their best hires they've ever made didn't look great on paper but they've done extremely well. And they're trying to replicate that over and over again. Like, how do I find more of those people that are the diamonds in the rough that nobody would give a chance?”  Christine: "The most interesting thing is watch them do the work and then look at the resume and you'll be surprised that they haven't had that experience, and watch them do it. They actually can. So we're showing and showcasing people in a totally different way and it's all through the product." Christine: "We look at the 90-day mark. Are they in good standing? And currently, we're at 92% of our grads that we placed are in good standing in the companies that they're in at the 90-day mark. So they're in good standing, so I think that's a really important metric." Christine: "If you've been in our space for any length of time, you know that there's some antiquated thinking that, in order to get great people that want to stay for any length of time, you're going to have to do something different."

Marketers tend to focus on customer acquisition, but often the onboarding process is forgotten. Well, Jaclyn Mullen is here to tell us why onboarding is so crucial for product adoption and ultimately revenue impact. Would you like to increase your onboarding sequence response rate by 70%? Then you need to listen to this episode. What you'll learn in this episode: How to keep enough personalization in your automation so that it can both scale and still have an impact on the customers How to decide what information should be included in your onboarding sequence How to facilitate real engagement during onboarding How to make onboarding a full experience, not just simple automation Jaclyn's recommendations: The qualitative data from responses to onboarding sequences can be invaluable for better understanding your customers. Timing is everything when it comes to onboarding cadences. How quickly emails go out, and when. Make sure that your onboarding doesn't sound like an infomercial Open-ended questions are great, but sometimes you need to make it easy for people to self-select. Make sure your onboarding sequence is based on what they are actually doing (or not doing) in your platform/program. Talking to 5 customers is all you need to start and have enough qualitative information. People want to laugh and be entertained. Don't forget about that in B2B marketing. You'll need to listen to the full episode if you want to hear the Lightning Round, but here are a few highlights: Jaclyn is looking forward to testing out Instagram Reels Jaclyn can't stand the phrase “brass tax” Proofpoint's POV:Client/customer onboarding is very much an overlooked aspect for many companies, and it often doesn't seem to matter what industry they are in. In professional services, we often find onboarding to overly focus on the project management aspect, while in SaaS the focus is often on automation and scale. And in both cases, the personal connection is missed. We are dealing with people in B2B afterall, aren't we? While it isn't the start of the business relationship, it is often the first interaction that anyone outside of sales and marketing has with the customer. It is a critical handoff, and sets the tone for the rest of the relationship. A botched onboarding can actually have a significant negative impact on client retention and ultimately revenue. At Proofpoint, we have created a stellar onboarding experience for our clients and have been working to optimize and improve it ever since. There are a few key takeaways from our conversation with Jaclyn that are worth highlighting and expounding on. First, your business model needs to drive your onboarding. While traditional onboarding sequences in SaaS try to get customers to upgrade or upgrade from freemium, Aspireship's business model doesn't require this for their candidate experience. So they didn't need to be pushy in their onboarding messaging. Second, visual continuity in the onboarding experience is valuable for creating a personal connection. We talked about this with Udi in last week's episode in terms of visual continuity helping to build brand equity. But in this case, the visual continuity really helps to build a personal connection and rapport with your customer. A bit more about Jaclyn:Jaclyn is the Growth Marketing Manager at Aspireship as well as a marketing consultant and speaker.

Jason Riedel was drawn to technology as a 9 year old. He knew what he wanted to do with his life, falling into the tech world - and as such, he didn't attend college. Music was his first love (or second, he debates which came first), though he is not a musician. He has produced music in the past, creating beats for artists. Interesting fact about Jason - he ran a hip hop label for 8 years on the side. The way he puts it, he used to make money through IT and spend money through building a hip hop label. He's married with 2 kids, and is into nutrition - though that tends to fall to the wayside, cause kids will only eat what they are going to eat. Starting as a nights and weekends side project, he and his co-founder created a way for driven individuals to transform their future through learning and opportunity.
