Ken Interviews Tiffani Bova to discuss her book Growth IQ and the importance of Customer Growth & Innovation
What's the secret sauce to successful businesses? How do the best companies continually innovate and grow? According to Tiffani Bova, Global Customer Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, there's not one secret to success. Growth and success don't come from just focusing on employees or building a customer-centric culture or going through a digital confirmation—it comes from a combination of all of those things and many more. Bova created the idea of Growth IQ from her more than 20 years as a sales and marketing practitioner and academic. Her framework is designed to help companies looking to accelerate growth or recover from a growth stall. The foundation of the Growth IQ is based on three principles: Pause and get context. Before growth can begin, practitioners and companies need to understand the context of their market. They need to know their competitors, what's happening in the market, why they've won or lost in the past and their strengths as an organization. Taking time to look at the industry context creates a strong foundation instead of barreling forward without a full view of what's happening. It's never one thing. Growth doesn't come from one path or action in isolation. Sustainable and meaningful growth is a combination of multiple growth paths that creates a flywheel to drive continued growth. Sequence matters. The order that companies do things in helps them have a better likelihood for success. The steps matter, but the order they are taken in is also crucial. These growth principles are extremely important as industries change and are no longer protected from outside competition. Technology has made a huge impact on all industries, but Bova says the modern connected customer is more disruptive than new technology. That means companies need to focus on creating a customer-centric culture by putting their employees first. When the culture is right, everyone knows their roles in delivering meaningful customer experiences. That's when real growth starts to happen. Employees also need to be on board because everyone owns customer experience. However, Bova says someone needs to set the strategy that all employees follow. If the CEO isn't involved in the employee first, customer-centric culture, those ideas won't become integral to the company's DNA. Sustainable growth doesn't come from just one area. It's more than just putting employees first and creating a strong customer experience, although those definitely play large roles. The challenge is knowing where to focus first. But Bova says once a company decides, they need to stick with it and commit. True change and lasting growth is a process and don't happen overnight. Committing to Growth IQ allows for a real impact on employees and customers, and ultimately on the bottom line.

The truth is, 80% of companies will experience a growth stall and fewer than that will be able to recover from it. So, how can Tiffani help companies avoid the stall in the first place? She discovered many companies were not looking at the context of the market today. They might have looked into it briefly when the plan was made 12 months ago or 36 months ago, but few were following up with the market trends of today. Things move too rapidly in today’s environment and, by not keeping up-to-date, it can be a real growth killer. Tiffani also noticed that it’s never been ‘one thing’ that keeps a company’s growth accelerating. It was always a combination of things that the company was doing that gave them the competitive advantage. For company A, for example, it was about entering a new market with the right partnerships and with the right sales model. That’s what led them to growth. The third thing that’s also an important factor in growth is timing, which Tiffani calls ‘Sequence’ in the book. If you put partnerships in place after you’ve entered a new market, you may be delivering a poor service experience, which will end up breaking customer trust. Context, Combination, and Sequence are the three things that make up an intelligent growth IQ.

Growing a business takes more than setting a plan and following it. Plans need to be monitored and analyzed to slow or eliminate becoming stagnate. You need to be ahead of where your business and clients are going to anticipate the next phase of growth. You don't want to be behind the curve and have to react to a downturn or slowdown. It is much harder to recover when you are reacting to something that has already happened. Wouldn't it be better if you could see the writing on the wall and possibly avoid it all together? Or better yet, create new markets or plumb the depths of your existing client base to exponentially grow your current market? My guest today has been helping businesses anticipate trends, grow their client base and understand their business through metrics every business owner or executive MUST to survive in these turbulent times for over twenty years. And now she has finally written a book to share the wisdom she has gained from helping others. On this episode Tiffani Bova shares the ten paths to growth and how you can combine and sequence them to keep your business moving forward and up.

Tiffani Bova, Global Customer Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, joins Jen Spencer to talk about empowering sales teams in the SaaS industry in this episode of The Allbound Podcast. Tell us what you do as a Global Customer Growth and Innovation Evangelist. My number one focus every day is around customer success and evangelizing ways in which companies can leverage technology in new ways and reimagine the organization that is responsible for selling and bringing products to market. And more importantly, the entire experience that's created by brands. Growth and innovation are the two things that many companies are focused on today, whether it's a small business, medium or enterprise. So this was a great way for me to align to the broader remit that people were looking to accomplish this year. What are some of the biggest changes you've seen in sales over the years? For anyone who knows me, knows I love to call myself a recovering seller. What has really changed for me – and this may be cliche today – is that the customer really is different than they ever were even 10 years ago. When I was selling, people only had a PC on their desk, they didn't have them at home. Not everyone had a cell phone and they would turn off that connection when they went home. But now there's more power in the hand of the consumer than there was on their desk 10 years ago. So much is being generated by this connection between social, mobile, cloud and information. And the speed at which that technology is changing has reshaped the way consumers interact with technology and the way in which they conduct commerce between themselves and a brand. And that was the catalyst for people to then change the way they wanted to consume and sell in their business lives. I think the learnings from B2C are what is really accelerating and challenging sales from a process perspective. What do you think will continue to shape the way in which sales organizations function and succeed in this modern environment? We get caught up in ‘technology is going to solve all the problems we've been facing.' Technology to me is the enabling tool to help facilitate changes in people and process. If you just deploy technology, and you don't rethink the metrics you're tracking, the information you are able to gather, the kinds of behaviors that change because of the information gathered, how you should be allocating resources, etc. –– all of that has implications. If you just deploy technology to manage the team better and have more metrics, the relationship between the sales rep and that technology is not one of love. It's more viewed as big brother, and that's a people/process shift that should happen in tandem with any kind of deployment of technology. We've seen how effective a customer-led sales organization can function, are more organizations starting to embrace this? How do you see them implementing it? This is a big challenge. When you make a decision to put the customer at the true north of the decisions you make as an organization, you have to understand the gap between an executive making that decision and a person in the line of fire such as a customer service representative or a sales rep. They need to understand what it means to them. If we're going to become more customer centric, what does it change in my daily life? Do we do things differently, or are we just saying it and I'm behaving the same way. If you don't have that connection point between strategically at the executive level and the entire company doesn't understand what does that mean to their job, then you've really set yourself up for disappointment. You've got to get everyone rallied behind it. And it has to become a drumbeat of communication and engagement with all employees, because it really is about changing a mindset. And that is far more difficult than deploying new technology. It will take mindset, executive sponsorship, and inspiring the entire organization to understand what it means to be a customer-centric company. A couple of years ago you wrote a piece about how technology sales reps have “lost their mojo.” Since then have you noticed sales leaders getting better about empowering their sellers? Have the tech sales reps gotten their mojo back? A lot of that had to do with finding a new way while still maintaining the things that made them (sales people) successful in the past. You can't just forget everything, but you have to be willing to unlearn things we've done and relearn by using some of the new capabilities. While we've spent a lot of time helping the sales rep be a better seller, I think where we've got a blind spot is with the sales managers and they're the ones that are working every day to teach and coach. What's the one thing an executive can do today to empower their sales managers? Unfortunately, we live and die by metrics, and until leadership starts to say, “Hold on. If we're really going to become a customer-driven organization, that can't be the only thing we track.” Sales leaders have to start to think about the long-term game ––instead of going from lead to cash, you have to go from lead to advocacy. If you want a customer to not only buy from you, and also become a raving fan and advocate on your behalf...it's going to take more time. And if you're held to the same metrics, it's going to be really difficult. Sales managers have to work with their managers to advocate for more coaching and mentoring. Mindset is a huge component here and sales managers and leaders have to lead that charge by working with their team downstream different. Have you noticed a shift in tech companies building their own reseller channels as opposed to going through large distributors? You have to be able to solve against, who is the target customer at the end user level, and how does that end user actually like to buy the technology you sell? You can't solve to everything, especially if you're a small company, but you have to look for those hot spots. What are those two to three channels that satisfy the highest percentage of demand from your target end user? That's how you develop your indirect or your go-to market strategy. It's the “Bermuda Triangle of Segmentation.” Speed round questions: Favorite city? Somewhere in Hawaii Animal lover…yes or no? Yes Mac or PC? Both Uber or Lyft? Uber All expenses paid trip to where?
