In this enlightening episode of Distributed Conversations, host Warren Whitlock and guest John Ferrara dive deep into the evolving landscape of customer relationship management (CRM) in an AI-driven world. The discussion explores the delicate balance between leveraging new technology and maintaining authentic human connections in business relationships. Through personal anecdotes and industry insights, Ferrara shares his perspective on how CRM systems have shifted from their original purpose of relationship building to becoming mere reporting tools. The conversation touches on crucial topics such as the role of AI in customer service, the importance of preparation in business interactions, and the future of integrated communication channels. Particularly interesting is their discussion of the "60% principle" - the concept that establishing relationships requires significant initial energy, but maintaining them needs much less effort. The episode concludes with valuable insights about privacy in the digital age and the enduring importance of personal relationship management. Both host and guest emphasize that while AI and automation can enhance efficiency, the human element remains irreplaceable in building meaningful business relationships.

Bloomfield, NJ pop/rock band Boy Blue has dropped a new single titled "Ghost Of Saturday Night" (ft. Jaret Reddick of Bowling For Soup). Watch the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyqoP0KKiuQ. Stream the track on all digital platforms here: https://linktr.ee/Boybluenj. Of the new track, lead guitarist, Joe Moretti says, “The song title is taken from a Tom Waits lyric, and the song is kind of an interpretation of what that means. It's about the almost depressing feeling that you get the day after a party with all of your friends when you wake up hungover and everything is just a mess. You wonder if you'll ever be able to get that high of happiness from the night before ever again, and that feeling really haunts you for a long while afterwards.” With a strong background of high energy shows (a number of which been shut down by police), plenty of shenanigans on and off the stage, and total disregard for the rules when it comes to creating their art, Boy Blue take pride in going the extra mile to create something positive and memorable out of their music videos, their songs, events, and social media content. For example, the band runs an annual Toy Drive for a local children's hospital, followed by a Polar Plunge. Boy Blue recently won "Best Jersey Music Video" in the 2020 Jersey Shore Film Festival, for their “Days On Fire” summer jam. The band looks forward to the next several months of releasing new music and videos, after spending a couple months in the studio with producer, John Ferrara of Trophy Scars. Boy Blue's new single, “Ghost of Saturday Night” is perfectly timed for a Halloween release, and features Jaret Reddick, the lead singer of Bowling for Soup.

If your organization uses a CRM, you need to listen to this episode. You'll meet John Ferrara, Founder and CEO of Nimble, the first truly different CRM. John founded and built Goldmine. He scaled it, sold it and retired. Being a purpose-driven leader, he couldn't stay retired. He looked at the CRM landscape and realized virtually every CRM had become primarily a means of capturing data, not managing and developing relationships. We discuss Jon's journey as an entrepreneur and leader and why salespeople (and I) love Nimble. Listen and learn more about this fascinating leader, entrepreneur and possible tool for your business.

Joining me on the show all the way from the beautiful Hudson Valley is MK Burnell. Burnell was formerly the host of a show that aired at Radio Woodstock. She's also the founder of ‘Locally Grown', a program at Radio Woodstock that helps feature and promote independent and emerging artists from the Hudson Valley. She was dropped as part of the budget cuts that Radio Woodstock was trying to implement due to Covid19. Instead of throwing in the towel and regretting how things turned out, Burnell took her laying off as an opportunity to set up her own recording studio at home and start a podcast. More Music Please - Quarantine Beat is the name of her new podcast, where Burnell interviews professionals from across the music industry about anything they'd love to discuss. She enjoys performing with different bands, hiking, practicing the trumpet, and learning new languages. Performing with Different bands. Burnell is currently a member of 4 different bands. These include Uncle Dad - An all-female group that consists of four ladies. They all have different songwriting techniques, all of which mash-up really great to produce funky songs. Local Freak - Burnell's longest-running band project. They perform a mix of covers and originals. They also love dancing and having a good time. Cold Flair Repair - A local Hudson Valley band that consists of Andy Gladding, Dave Chapman, Chris Machia, and Brad Kelly where they enjoy playing yacht rock and funky soul. Trailer Swift - Self evocative, Trailer Swift is a band where Burnell and the band members enjoy doing Taylor Swift covers while wearing torn up flannel. International Relations Originally an International Relations major at SUNY New Paltz, Burnell found her purpose in working with indie artists. Burnell majored in IR while at college as she had an interest in learning more about the world and was optimistic about traveling around the world while working. She's however very grateful for having gotten the opportunity to work with and learn from different artists while working as a radio host. Locally Grown. When she started working at Radio Woodstock 5 years ago, Burnell bugged the radio station to let her do her own show where she'd host local-grown talent. When granted the opportunity, Burnell began to feature local bands, some of which she had the pleasure of working and performing with when starting out as a young indie artist. Burnell saw Locally Grown as an opportunity to give back to the community that had once supported her. Locally Grown was also Burnell's way of improving Radio Woodstock's brand of featuring and promoting local and independent music. Starting a new podcast. Burnell has always had an interest in podcasts. She loves listening to them and always dreamt of starting one. The only obstacle at the time was lack of time and mental energy - because of her full-time work as a music director and radio host. After losing her job when Corona struck, Burnell jumped at the opportunity of starting her new podcast. She's really enjoyed the experience of podcasting so far and loves that she can conduct interviews in her own style and without a time limit - this of course, in contrast to working as a radio host. For instance, in her very first interview with John Ferrara, the duo discussed Midnight gospel - an animated web series featured on Netflix. Burnell is grateful for the opportunity she got to work at Radio Woodstock, however, she's found the experience of going fully independent very exciting and hopes to continue being in control of her own projects and ditching the 9-5. Timestamps 02:58 Enjoying nature 05:04 Practicing with the steel mace 06:42 Different bands that Burnell has worked with 10:24 The gig scene in Hudson Valley 11:34 Experience studying IR 14:46 Burnell's early music experience 18:22 Reminiscing the good old music 20:02 Locally grown 22:34 Burnell's new podcast 27:31 Focusing on her podcast 28:52 How I produce my shows 33:11 Burnell's aspirations. 38:20 Listen to Connected. Quotes I learned a lot while studying IR. Having focused on South American politics, I found it very interesting how America meddled with so much of the South American political framework, and its contribution to their political, social, and economic instability. Music has and will always evolve at a very fast pace. And I love that it does. I love connecting to all genres of music, including next-generation music which I don't naturally feel attracted to.

Relationship Management with CRM Nathaniel Schooler 0:21 Today I'm interviewing Jon, a CRM and Relationship Management entrepreneur and noted speaker about Social Media's effects on Sales and Marketing. He has re-imagined CRM by building a Simply Smarter Social Sales and Marketing platform for GSuite and Office 365, his most recent venture Nimble.com. It is the first CRM that works for you by building and updating contact data for you, then works with you, everywhere you work. Ferrara is best known as the co-founder of GoldMine Software Corp, one of the early pioneers in the Sales Force Automation (SFA) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software categories for Small to Medium sized Businesses (SMBs). He has recently been recognized on Forbes as one of the Top 10 Social CEO’s, Top 10 Social Salespeople In The World and Top 100 Marketing Influencers. So let's dig into the show. Well it's great to be joined by you Jon. I've kind of watched watched you grow Nimble and I'm really excited to sort of learn a bit more about about you and CRM obviously! Don't forget to use the link below and the voucher code JON40 Nimble Free Trial and 40% OFF for 3 Months Click Here  Jon Ferrara 1:35 Well, it's a pleasure to be with you today. I think that we're on this planet to grow by helping other people grow and any chance that I have to connect with another human being for conversation especially about how we might inspire and educate other people to achieve their dreams is a pretty great day for me. So I appreciate the opportunity to connect to for this conversation. Nathaniel Schooler 1:59 Super Super. You were involved with a company called Goldmine back in the day. Which was when I had a lady in the office who had a Rolodex. When I worked at my Dad's firm, we had a winery, and she would come along and she would say, she was very posh English lady. And she would say:- "Oh, Nathaniel, you must you must call this lady this week. She's got a new buyer in her garden centre, or, you know, whatever. And here's the number and you must call her and speak to her." But the beauty of of the software that you've created now which which is called nimble CRM, is it gives me all that information and more right. Jon Ferrara 2:52 Yes, I mean, if you think about business people buy from people that they like know and trust and in the old days you went into somebody's office and you got to know them. You looked at the books, and the degrees, and the knickknacks, and the photographs and all that gave you clues into who they were. And of course, you did research into what their business was about. And you did this in order to figure out a way you might be able to add value. And then you shared what you had in common with the person in order to break the ice and build the intimacy and trust so if they open up to you about their businesses use which as a professional you can then solve and today you have to do that all electronically you Google somebody before meeting and then you're supposed to go log that in the CRM. And then you need to engage with them on whatever channel you can and then you know the past that was that in person and the phone and facts and now it's email and social and and then you have to go back to the CRM and log it and I think it's too much work and and I think the reason they called Salesforce have to force sales people to use it. Nobody in their right mind would use a CRM if they want beat on to do it. And that's the reason why there's 225 million global businesses and less than 1%, use any CRM because you work for it, And you have to go to it to use it. And my belief is that you shouldn't have to work for your CRM. It should work for you by building itself and then work with you wherever you work. Because if you're not in the trenches, in the river, having conversations, building relationships, and staying "Top of Mind" with their customer,
