This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to solve a global challenge: helping field sales sell more and faster. My guest is Zach Barney, Co-founder and CEO of Mobly. Zach Barney is an experienced SaaS sales leader and entrepreneur. He has been building and leading SaaS sales teams since 2010 at companies like Vehlo, Nearmap, Teem, and HireVue. Over his career, he has personally closed over $4 million in ARR, and his teams have closed over $40 million. In 2023, he co-founded Mobly to reduce the high percentage (+25%) of sales activity that never gets logged into CRM systems. Their mission: To redefine lead capture and qualification for event marketers. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Zach to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the lead generation process at in-person events. Zach explains his journey with Mobly to solve this problem - and elaborates how this fits in a much broader vision. He elaborates on the big lessons he learned around gaining traction and using pricing as a lever for growth. Lastly, he elaborates on how he's building a moat around his product. Here's one of his quotes We learned that we needed to change our pricing model. Our first handful of customers we were grossly under-charging them and it was largely due to the fact that we were pricing based on the number of seats. Somebody would openly tell us 'Yeah, well this person can share the license with this person.' So, we realized 'I guess we made a mistake on how we price this because this should be like a $20,000 contract and you're telling me that you're gonna pay 2000…' During this interview, you will learn four things: How he and his co-founder managed to get very comfortable doubling down on building a product without hardly spending anything. What he changed to his pricing strategy to increase average deal-size AND make grow each customer account from there onwards. What strategic choices he made around phasing his product strategy to ensure they got traction as early as possible - and keep growing it. Why he's decided to build defensible differentiation around data and not features.

This week on TRF we cover: When your Linked In post gets hi-jacked, it can be a complement or just annoying. What was Barry thinking, his //bit.ly would create an avalanche of qualified candidates? Congrats to one of the OG's of HR podcasting, Matt Alder hits 600 episodes. In the news Federal minimum wage in Canada jumps to $17.30. Sad to see the US federal minimum wage still sits at $7.25 per hour. Realtors in the US are facing some drastic changes that will hit their commissions. There should be an app for this! No one ever felt good about paying $25,000 to someone for selling their biggest investment - your home. NASA vs SpaceX. It all comes down to hiring and perhaps keeping costs in line. Consider their spending habits over the last 10 years, NASA clocked in at $21.2 BILLION and SpaceX at $500-750 million. Tip of the Week Recruiters being interviewed by a Recruiter for a recruiting role, feels like jedi mind trick. Showing up isn't what you wear, it's asking great questions. Recruiting Insights Glassdoor controversy this week. Adding the Fishbowl means you give your identifying information sparks fear into the hearts of some users that employers will someone find you out for the nasty review you left.

One of the most interesting and controversial book in the HR section in a long while! Hilke brings the investigative journalist and an industry outsider to her new book “The Algorithm: How AI decides who gets hired, monitored, promoted & fired & why we need to fight back now.” A fateful cab ride was the genesis of the book, when the Lyft driver was gobsmacked by being interviewed by a robot for a baggage handler job at the local airport, Hilke began her quest to learn more. The one-way video interview and its inevitable demise when HireVue's claims of facial expressions to predict candidate's honesty was proven to be crap. Talent Intelligence platforms like Eightfold can prove to be a positive force in helping organization know who to promote and like any double edge sword, cursed for its contribution on who should be laid off, How do we fight back? Hilke gives some sound advice to HR Leaders. Crystal ball predictions for 2030, sound pretty accurate to us!

As a reminder, if you are a mid-career high-achiever with the goal of entering the C-suite, let's talk about my new coaching program, Highly Promotable. Here's the link to learn more: https://exclusivecareercoaching.com/highly-promotable Today, we're talking about how employers are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in job interviews – and what that means for you as a job seeker. AI is being used in the interview process via Natural Language Processing (NLP), chatbots, sentiment analysis, facial expression recognition and visual perception, speech recognition, tone analysis, and decision-making. Let's start with some definitions: Artificial intelligence:Computer systems that can perform tasks that normally would require human intelligence. Artificial Intelligence-trained video interviewing technology analyzes facial features, moods, expressions, and intonations of the interviewees to select the most suitable candidates. Speech recognition, personality insights, tone analysis, the relevance of answers, emotional recognition, and psycholinguistics are used in this hiring process that uses technology automation. The best matches are shared with human recruiters along with AI's own notes on individual candidates. Chatbot:An artificial intelligence feature that is short for “chatterbot.” A chatbot is a software or program that simulates human conversations through voice commands and text chats. Chatbots are used for answering initial questions applicants have and to conduct preliminary “screening” interviews. Immediate feedback may be provided to the candidates. Natural language processing (NLP):The interaction between humans and computers using natural language. AI's machine learning skills derive meaning and understanding from language as it is spoken by humans. The most common uses of NLP in the market today include chatbots, personal assistants (such as Siri and Alexa), predictive text, and language translation. What AI tools are available to employers? There are at least four categories of tools: Video Conferencing ToolsEmployers often use video conferencing tools including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet to conduct remote AI job interviews. AI Powered Interview PlatformsSpecialized platforms like HireVue, Pymetrics, and Mya Systems use AI technology to conduct interviews. These platforms employ natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to analyze candidates' responses, assess their skills, and provide insights to employers. Online Assessment PlatformsOnline assessment platforms like TalentScored, eSkill, or CodinGame offer AI-related assessment tests and coding challenges specifically designed for evaluating candidates' AI knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and programming skills. Coding PlatformsFor technical positions, employers may use coding platforms such as HackerRank, Codility, or LeetCode. These platforms allow candidates to write and execute code, solve coding problems, and assess their programming skills. How should you prepare for an AI interview? This from Talview.com's website: “Candidates should prepare for an AI video interview the same way they would for a face-to-face interview. They must know everything there is to know about the company beforehand; look up the company website, Google news, press releases, and understand what the company and the industry are all about.“Candidates can also make a list of questions that they would like to ask their prospective employer. Practice makes perfect when it comes to an AI video interview. Candidates can make a list of expected questions and practice their answers. Once the video interview begins, candidates will not be able to stop, erase, or edit the interview and must, therefore, be prepared well in advance.“On the day of the interview, candidates must dress professionally. Position themselves in a straight-back chair and make sure the camera angle focuses waist up.“Although an AI video interview is recorded, it is for all purposes conducted just as a face-to-face interview would. So, candidates should sell their candidacy based on the company's needs and let the employer know how they will meaningfully contribute to their organization.“Finally, candidates are asked to keep calm and exude confidence through their body language.” The bottom line is this: There's nothing new that an AI interview does – it asks the same questions as a human interviewer would. But the deep analysis that goes into the assessment of an interview is beyond human undertaking. The speed, accuracy, and convenience of AI recruitment and AI video interviewing are very valuable. It's impossible that AI interviews will go off the grid – if anything, we will see an increase in its use. DIY vs DFYI'm going to combine the DIY and the DFY for this episode. If you want to improve your interview skills on your own, I recommend Yoodli – a free site that allows you to respond to the system's questions or input your own. Yoodli will help you with things like eye contact, use of filler words, and other vocal disrupters. If you would like human help with your interview preparation, my interview coaching program includes working with Yoodli + 2, 1-hour coaching sessions. In addition to Yoodli's help, you'll work with me to develop strategies to approach difficult and behavioral interview questions, such as “What is your greatest weakness?” “Tell me about yourself.” “Tell me about a time when…”

In this episode of the Enterprise Sales Development podcast, we speak with Hyunjin Lee, an SDR veteran who has led inbound teams at Qualtrics, Domo, HireVue, and Rakuten, and is now an inbound leader at BILL. Hyunjin talks about the hot topic of “strike zones” and how to outfit your SDRs for success. He discusses the concept of 'extreme ownership' and how discipline equals freedom when managing SDR teams. Hyunjinn also talks about using open AI as a form of assistance and how automation can be used to help with mundane tasks and free up SDRs to focus on more meaningful activities. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Hyunjin's coaching techniques and his wisdom from decades in the tech industry Exploring autonomy, mastery, and purpose in the sales process The Gas Metric SDR technology and automation QUOTES “The hot topic is strike zones and understanding the persona, obsessing over your buyers, listening to the same podcast that they listen to, and then helping them solve what they are most intrigued about. So by honing in on the why of my reps and enabling them to be curious and to be very proactive in understanding their buyers, that ultimately makes the impact where the prospects that they connect with some of them will become lifelong connections.” - Hyunjin Lee [07:11] “One of the metrics that I measure each candidate as I interview people, and I've interviewed thousands at this point, is the “gas metric”. And a lot of companies have different verbiage for it, but at the end of the day, it's considered the “give-a-shit” metric. The individuals I've hired are the ones that give a crap about literally everything. They put their whole heart and soul into it.” - Hyunjin Lee [16:03] “It's a very simple question. “How likely are you to recommend our company?” And I hope that the customers we have when asked, “How likely are you to recommend Bill or Divvy or any other company out there?”, always go back to what their first initial experience was with an SDR. And then how it translated from stage to stage.” - Hyunjin Lee [33:06] “Go find individuals who are insanely passionate. Go create the best process to fully enable those passionate individuals. Then create metrics and milestones to go and fully deliver on mutual indicators for the business, for the prospects, for the customers, and for themselves. That's how you create a winning formula for companies.” - Hyunjin Lee [37:29] TIMESTAMPS [00:05] Intro [04:57] The evolution of sales development technology [09:05] Driving successful SDR engines: process, people, and data [12:15] Extreme ownership and accountability for SDRs [16:35] The "Gas Metric": customer obsession in sales development leadership [23:15] Leveraging inbound SDRs to create a positive customer experience [31:41] NPS scores and the customer experience [37:53] Exploring the potential of AI-powered chatbots in B2B Sales [44:19] How to connect with Hyunjin CONNECT Hyunjin Lee on LinkedIn CIENCE on LinkedIn CIENCE on Facebook CIENCE on Twitter CIENCE on Instagram Learn more about your ad choices.
