This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by an exceptional returning guest, Matt Heinz, Founder and President at Heinz Marketing.  Matt Heinz has more than 15 years of marketing, business development and sales experience from a variety of organizations, vertical industries, and company sizes. Throughout his career, Matt has focused on delivering measurable results for his employers and clients in the way of greater sales, revenue growth, product success and customer loyalty.  In this special 100th episode of Revenue Rehab, on the couch Brandi and Matt will tackle unpacking the secrets to being a standout leader, building teams that are as passionate as they are productive, and nailing the basics that drive business and brand growth.    Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1 Self Reflection, Purpose, and Impact [05:56] “I fundamentally believe if you don't look back at sort of your earlier stages of your career in life, and if you don't cringe a little bit, you're probably not improving,” Matt reflects, “and [you're] probably not sort of learning enough and becoming a better, not just better at what you do, but a better human, a better contributor to society and the people around you.” Topic #2 Leadership: Balancing Culture and Business [17:07] “Well, first, I would just say that if you if you are feeling that struggle, if you're feeling that tension, you are already a great leader,” Matt says, “because that means you are prioritizing, your brain is already prioritizing, supporting the people on your team.”  Topic #3 Strategies for Accelerating Revenue Growth [29:45] To get there, Matt says, “we have to pull back all the way back honestly, to corporate strategy. And let's not dwell on this a lot. But like, where are you as a business? Are you early stage? Are you in Product Market Fit mode? Where are your funding sources? And what do they need? What are the shareholder or stakeholder objectives?” He continues, “because if we just sit here and say, ‘we should start a community', or you know what, ‘we should start a podcast', or ‘how come we're not advertising here?', ‘how come we're not winning the search wars?', or whatever it is. Legit questions. But without context of ‘why', we're just going to fight over a variety of well-meaning priorities.”    So, What's the One Thing You Can Do Today? Matt's ‘One Thing': “I'm going to quote Eric Schmidt, former CEO chairman of Google, I remember, years ago, he was on stage at Dreamforce with Marc Benioff and at one point in telling a story he said, ‘life is short work with people you enjoy'.”   Buzzword Banishment: Matt's Buzzword to Banish: “There's a category of buzzwords I describe as what I'm selling led growth,” he says, “it just seems like everyone's trying to say, well, you can lead use this to the growth or you can use this to lead growth or this tactic or this channel. And way too often, it's the company selling you a solution for that, that is coming up with that.”   Links: Get in touch with Matt Heinz: LinkedIn Twitter Heinz Marketing Episode 14 - Finding Your Circle: The Importance of Community for Personal Growth Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

Think of your sales pipeline as less like a funnel and more like a subway map — your sellers can take multiple routes to close, as long as they head in the right general direction. It's up to you to identify each customer's unique journey — and that can't be done without explicit efforts to foster relationships and customer-led growth. Building trust with customers is essential for the future — yet many sales professionals take a shortsighted view that extends only to closing deals. Moving away from a transactional mindset and toward customer-led growth is all about how we view and treat the pipeline, according to Matt Heinz, President of Heinz Marketing.In today's episode, Andee and Matt confront the many misconceptions surrounding customer relationships, highlighting the necessity of challenging customers to uncover their true needs and the crucial role of the user committee and user journey alongside the buying committee in B2B deals.
