Dan Foster is a Chief Operating/Revenue Officer, who built and transformed profitable businesses across technology and telecom start-ups as well as industry powerhouses. Companies turn to him to revive struggling businesses by redefining sales, marketing and customer service strategy, scaling infrastructure, and promoting product innovation. In this episode, Dan shares how bundled solutions increase value and close rates. He discusses AI's growing role in B2B sales and procurement. And stresses using data to understand customer needs and justify pricing.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn how bundling products and services can enhance perceived value, increase close rates, and prevent price-sensitive buyers from deconstructing your offerings. Gain insights into how AI is transforming the sales landscape, from optimizing product recommendations to procurement teams using AI to negotiate better prices. Understand why pricing should be tied to the customer's business outcomes and how to communicate the true value of your solutions effectively.   "You take the data around a pricing example and you really understand the value from the end user's perspective, so you got to have that empathy back in to say what moves their business. And when we understand what moves their business with a few numbers, then you start to give the underpinning for why value pricing matters." - Dan Foster    Topics Covered: 02:01 - How his early consulting work made him think about value and led him to pricing 03:23 - Asking about typical reactions to pricing presentations 04:24 - Explaining that selling value starts with understanding product-market fit  07:03 - Highlighting the importance of teaching distribution partners how to sell value, using the Home Depot-SolarCity partnership as an example 10:43 - How can ROI calculators be convincing 14:07 - Explaining that while they don't track proven value directly due to lack of data, anecdotal feedback and supplier insights indicate improved close rates for partners 15:09 - How AI is reshaping product offerings, expanding technology advisors' roles, and influencing cost-cutting for innovation 19:10 - Highlighting that while AI may drive procurement efficiencies complex digital transformation solutions still rely on expertise 20:27 - How bundling simplifies purchasing and reinforce the value of an all-in-one solution 24:27 - Dan's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "If you want to buy a ton of storage and it's a commodity, we get that. That could go through the marketplace earlier than not. If you want a digital transformation, if you want to change your customer experience, if you want to make your business run faster, if you want business process automation and robotic process automation, that's not going through a dynamic pricing model on a marketplace near-term. Now, can I go out and look at, like, UiPath Licensing versus Automation Anywhere versus whoever Microsoft scooped up next and look at pricing models? The procurement folks are probably smart to do that." - Dan Foster "But the bundled solution specifically is, I think, fundamental because otherwise, when you offer them the menu-based pricing, oftentimes they don't see the full value." - Dan Foster "It [selling value] starts with that product-market fit. We do a lot of enablement of our partners or downstream almost like a two-tier distributor. And in doing that we provide the ability for them to see a higher close rate when they use tools and resources. It alleviates that conversation and it's inherent that there's value pricing there." - Dan Foster "It's critical to think through in a subscription-based model what that value is, because that customer acquisition cost versus the long-term value of a customer, it's a critical ratio to understand when you're thinking through pricing." - Dan Foster   People/Resources Mentioned: Cummins Engine Company: https://www.cumminsenginepart.com/ Unilever: https://www.unilever.com Alcoa: https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/home/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Selling-Value-Deals-Higher-Prices/product-reviews/1737655217/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews& SolarCity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarCity Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/ Google: https://www.google.com/?client=safari Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com Sun Power: https://us.sunpower.com Sunrun: https://www.sunrun.com TD Synnex: https://www.tdsynnex.com/na/us/ Ingram Micro: https://www.ingrammicro.com Five9: https://www.five9.com Genesys: https://www.genesys.com/en-sg/ NICE inContact: https://www.nice.com/ Zoom: https://zoom.us Dialpad: incontact.com/content/home.htm ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/ Automation Anywhere: https://www.automationanywhere.com Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/ UiPath Licensing: https://licensing.uipath.com/ Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/welcome?orig_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Roku TV: https://www.roku.com/products/roku-tv?srsltid=AfmBOoomwWI9G8ZABYW7gSPFzBHc87xVmartPBXAWzj7GfPfAJQYjTtO Super Bowl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl Xfinity: https://www.xfinity.com/   Connect with Dan Foster: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdanfoster/ Email: dfoster@telarus.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

When does your “audience” become a “community?” The word “community” might make you think of the relationship you have with your neighbors; a sense of friendliness and having something in common. It's a word that relates an emotional closeness or bond, even loyalty. We're talking about how to build that bond with your audience today.And who better to talk about it with than Automation Anywhere's SVP of Community and Learning, Kristen Engelhardt. Together, we're chatting about driving content to one part of your TAC (and what the heck is TAC anyway?), arranging a forum for deeper audience listening, and starting small. So get ready to upgrade your growth strategy with this episode of Remarkable.About our guest, Kristen EngelhardtKristen Engelhardt is SVP of Community and Learning at Automation Anywhere, having joined the company in September, 2021. Prior to her current role, she served as VP of Trailblazer Marketing and Community at Salesforce. She has also worked for companies like PeopleSoft, Cisco and Gartner.About Automation AnywhereAutomation Anywhere is the leader in intelligent automation solutions that put AI to work across every aspect of an organization. The company's Automation Success Platform is infused with generative AI and offers process discovery, RPA, end-to-end process orchestration, document processing, and analytics, with a security and governance-first approach. Automation Anywhere empowers organizations worldwide to unleash productivity gains, drive innovation, improve customer service and accelerate business growth. The company is guided by its vision to fuel the future of work by unleashing human potential through intelligent automation.About Community in MarketingThe idea of community in marketing suggests that customers are more deeply engaged than just purchasing from a company. These customers are aligned with the company's brand values, mission and brand promise. They are loyal to the brand, recommend it to friends, family and colleagues, write reviews, post about it on social media, and generally evangelize the brand. Like the Apple community where users offer suggestions and answers to customer questions separately from Apple Customer Support. What is a community flywheel? It's a community-centered approach to building a brand, in which your brand joins or creates relevant communities that promote amazing experiences and engagement, translating into sales.To use the community flywheel approach to building your business, there are five key techniques:Know your communitiesMake your brand story talkableZoom in on hero productsFuel the conversation across channelsMake transactions effortlessAccording to McKinsey, when you're successfully leveraging the community flywheel approach…More than 75 percent of content about the brand is user generated.The influencer engagement rate—that is, the percentage of viewers who go on to like, comment, or share the content—is greater than 2 percent.More than 4 percent of online traffic is converted to sales.Brand-related posts by either the brand or a consumer go viral at least twice a year (triggered, in some cases, by marketing support).What B2B Companies Can Learn From Automation Anywhere's Community-Building Strategy:Focus on driving content to one part of your TAC. You get better payoff with a focused approach to community-building. Kristen says, “The most successful communities we've seen are when you identify what part of the TAC you need and want to focus on to drive transformation together. It may be we're going to focus, like in Salesforce on the administrator, and we are going to surround them with the input into the product and the career support and the peer ecosystem to make them wildly successful in their role. And we found out by listening, by hearing what they're trying to solve for, that we could advance their careers and their companies through an investment in them. And in return, they share their expertise, they share their content, they speak on stage for us, they tell our brand story through theirs, but they also help us drive the business. And you get that magic flywheel.”Arrange a forum for deeper audience listening. Create a space to talk with customers and ask questions beyond your product. At Automation Anywhere, they created their Pathfinder Workshop, which is now scaled globally and has had a massive payoff. Kristen says, “We have a bright, hard line between that program and our upsell, our pipe gen, and our version of the ACV. And all of that came about the community workshop as our number one go-to-market lever because we took the leap and listened beyond the product: ‘What are you trying to do as an automation leader?' So I love that example and the team did a phenomenal job listening, building, iterating together.”Prioritize the four pillars of community building: Destination, programs, content, and learning. These depend on how mature your business is. Kristen says, “For an early stage company, don't go out and build a destination right away. Start with the product tour or the dinner series. If you are already mature and you have so many connections and your community, your part of the TAC is saying, ‘Where do I give and get help? Where do I connect with more thought leaders? Where do I get that content?' That's when you want to invest in the destination. So make sure you're prioritizing your pillars based on where you are and where your community is.”Quotes*“Community is a category creator and an enabler that allows a company like Salesforce, like Automation Anywhere, to build an ecosystem and a job economy. And whether it's in CRM, or it's in automation, or AI, at the end of the day, community is essentially your constituency of people, regardless of role, region, market, title, that you want to use more of what you have to offer, buy more of it, and tell others to do the same, and that's the magic of community. ” - Kristen Engelhardt*“Who you go and talk to and invest in will be different in an early stage than when you are in hyper growth and you are scaling and you want to make sure that you have a nurtured relationship with your most strategic partners and your most strategic customers. It's a growth spectrum.”  - Kristen Engelhardt*”The key is just to know when you're starting out, ‘What problem am I trying to solve, for which stage of growth I'm in, and which sliver, slice, piece of the TAC do I most need to invest in, understand, know, and serve?” - Kristen Engelhardt*”You do need to invest in yourself first to create that reach. It's just that the level of investment is much lower. It's very low lift and you can pick and choose some very easy start by starting strategies before you have to go and build a 15 million member trailblazer community to drive the type of impact that McKinsey statistics are sharing.“ - Kristen Engelhardt*”There's a push and a pull. So like, your content is supposed to push your community to react and engage and to talk to each other and to spur conversations. Whereas for community, you have to be listening, you have to be responding, you have to be doing those sort of things.  And it's a very different sort of emotion. ” - Ian FaisonTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Kristen Engelhardt, SVP of Community & Learning at Automation Anywhere[2:55] Learn more about Kristen's work at Automation Anywhere[4:54] Why are we talking about building community?[6:17] What is TAC?[17:02] Tell me more about building community in marketing[30:41] How do you engage with your customers beyond asking about the product?[41:40] What is Kristen's playbook to building community?[48:25] What's the ROI of community?[52:01] Who are the critical hires in building community?LinksJoin the Pathfinder CommunityConnect with Kristen on LinkedInLearn more about Automation AnywhereAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Shahzad Khokhar and I discuss the many things that make up a person, including family,  what fuels you, and how you deal with setbacks.When you are open to learning from others, you will never be disappointed. Shahzad and I first connected in 2019 and hadn't truly learned about one another until recently, when I asked if he'd join me as a guest on When You Grow Up. Thank you for your time Shahzad!Shahzad Khokhar started his consulting company, araZach, in late 2019. He and his team are part of the Salesforce network of partners and offer a variety of services related to Salesforce implementation and use. In addition to building his business, he is an educator with the Boston University Online MBA Program, and inventor and co-founder of KloudSign digital signage.  I admire Shahzad for his style of being a role model for his daughter--which he shared with me is more about himself practicing the habits he wants her to have--and for his perspective on what emotional fulfillment means to him. So many elements of this discussion stand out to me, but in particular was Shahzad's story about an experience he had with an executive coach after he said, “I want to be better than everybody else. How do I do it?” Listen at 22:23 to hear the answer he received.Some of the things we reference in the episode that you may be interested in:araZach, https://www.arazach.com/BU Online MBA ProgramKloudSign, https://www.mykloudsign.com/John C.

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast – Women in Tech – Interview Series, I'm joined by Ritu Kapoor, from Automation Anywhere. In our conversation today we're going to cover some exciting news coming out of Automation Anywhere's Innovation Day event, which was held on Wednesday, October 7th.   Ritu is the is head of product strategy at Automation Anywhere, and she focuses on front office automation solutions — RPA, AI and machine learning technology to increase the pace of automation in the front office, back office and any office to help organizations lower operating costs and become more productive. She also heads up competitive and market intelligence for the company, which means if you're playing in the RPA and automation space, she knows what you're doing.   In our conversation, we explored RPA adoption and how it continues to transcend other technologies, especially now when organizations are speeding up all parts of their digital transformation efforts. We also talked about the state of women in tech, some of the inroads we've made and seen, as well as the challenges ahead.   Our conversation then turned to perhaps one of the most exciting announcements to come out of Automation Anywhere's Innovation Day — the announcement about AARI, the Automation Anywhere Robotic Interface. Here are the highlights: Ritu walked us through AARI's AI-powered automation technology, which was designed to help organizations quickly and easily connect various business processes and empower employees to work alongside automation technology (in a bot-to-human interface) in a seamless fashion. The challenges today's organizations report as it relates to adopting or considering the adoption of automation solutions, which include: - Scale. Only 15% of companies using RPA have scaled past 50 bots - Building business resiliencies is a key challenge/area of focus, and organizations are often not sure of the role automation solutions can play here - Culture around innovation, specifically as it relates to RPA, doesn't exist - Ability to maintain QC over standards, compliance, while still empowering citizen devs How the adoption of AI-powered technology like AARI can play a role in both speeding digital transformation as well as in building business resiliency The key differentiators of Automation Anywhere's AARI from other automation technology on the market today. Some use case examples of how AARI can make employees more productive in the workplace. An overview of AARI can help organizations as a whole manage bots and applications by aligning how employees work and making accessing the technology easily by embedding it in browsers, desktops, mobile, and apps that employees use every day (for example, Salesforce). AARI is available worldwide, with pricing starting at $35/mo/user. For more information on AARI, check it out here     SHOW LESS
