Lead Balloon - Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communications Disaster Stories
When Justin Shriber was the Vice President of Marketing for LinkedIn Sales and Marketing Solutions, he was charged with emceeing the social media juggernaut's Sales Leaders Summit mainstage. And with hip-hop legend and business magnate Russell Simmons lined up to serve as headliner, the hall was packed with people eager to hear Simmons's stories from the early days of hip-hop and his entrepreneurial awakening. Instead, what they got was a strange tirade from an uncooperative guest in front of an increasingly uncomfortable live audience, made even stranger by the fact that, within a few months, Russell Simmons would flee the country to escape criminal prosecution for a string of assault charges. These days, Justin is the Chief Marketing Officer at People.ai, an AI automation sales and CRM solutions provider. But in this episode, he looks back on this morality tale about the dangers of influencer marketing, relives the longest 45 minutes of his career, and recounts the lessons that he learned about planning a live event and relying on an unreliable celebrity.

ROI no longer just means return on investment. Today, it also stands for revenue operations intelligence, which is all about how insights meet education and algorithms are used to help marketers target key personas in order to get ahead of the competition. It’s a game-changer, and People.ai CMO, Justin Shriber describes it as the ultimate tool for marketers.“It's the needle and the haystack problem, and we now have metal detectors that make it a lot easier.”People.ai is an intelligence platform designed to help enterprises align their sales and marketing goals through the assistance of A.I. in order to solve those tricky problems. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Justin explains what it means to be the CMO of the company, and, he details how marketers should be using A.I. to help them with key tasks. Plus, he talks about how user-generated content has changed over the last five years, and he reveals the role experiential marketing should be playing in your overall marketing strategy.Main Takeaways:Time To Up Your Game: Five years ago, there was a rush to create authentic content that showed your consumers who you were, and marketers depended on customers to deliver a lot of that content. While user-generated content is authentic, the quality of that content can be compromised, so marketers need to find a way to strike a balance between high-quality and truly authentic content.It’s About Experiences: Experiential marketing is about creating unique experiences catered to your audience’s desires, and sometimes that means that the experience you curate has very little to do with your company or product — and that’s okay. The best companies have turned this tactic into a unique way to humanize client relationships.Where A.I. Fits: When aligning your sales and marketing strategy, A.I. should be utilized in a way that helps sales and marketing teams engage their clients, while simultaneously ingesting information that helps identify key personas and orchestrate strategies that helppower growth.---Marketing Trends podcast is brought to you by Salesforce.

This week's show is called "Business Activity vs Lead Generation – Where True Demand Comes From” with Justin Shriber, CMO at people.ai. We're talking about signals and trigger events you can pull out of your consolidated information to have better contextual conversations with your prospects. We have complex buying journeys that not only take a long period of time, but also sit across multiple members of the buying committee. We also have multiple people on the selling team. So if you have an insight, it's not as binary as saying, "Well, let's put that into an email sequence," or, "Hey sales person, go mention this on your call." Ideally it's integrated across multiple channels in an appropriate sequenced way. Justin and I talk about how sales and marketing are increasingly embracing that complexity and he shares some keys to helping companies integrate those insights and those triggers into that more complex nuanced sequence. Listen to the end to hear some great lessons he's taken away from COVID and from other experiences like it as well. This and a lot more!

Can a brand experience feel like an authentic experience? How can brands improve trust? What are ways that a brand can showcase their values? In this special episode of IBM thinkLeaders, recorded live at Cannes Lions, we are joined by Justin Shriber (Head of Marketing for LinkedIn Sales Solutions) & Reid Blackman (Founder & CEO of Virtue). We talk to Justin and Reid about navigating the customer experience, building authentic relationships, and whether platforms can empower one-to-one relationships. We also dive into the merits of the Dunbar Number and scaling relationship online, brand safety, data as currency, and when it might be appropriate to automate our communication. “We talk a lot about authenticity and I think that that conversation is going to evolve. Authenticity to me is simply being transparent with what your motives and your aspirations are. And the reality is that as marketers, as sales professionals, we can be authentic and that may not necessarily align with what customers are interested in. If as a marketer, what I really care about is moving more merchandise, moving more products and services, I'm being authentic, but that isn't necessarily the answer. So I think that there's going to be an evolution not just of being authentic, but also making sure that the things that you're being authentic about aligning to the audience that you're trying to reach.” -Justin Shriber, Head of Marketing for LinkedIn Sales Solutions “Those kinds of things are really important and they're good, but they could also be misleading in the following sense. It's easy to be the hero in one way by doing some grand gesture. It's difficult to be good day in and day out. And so one thing that companies really need to do is not just think about what are the big gestures we can make that would be a useful way of communicating our values. But what can we do day in and day out? What can we build into operations and workflow to make it the case that we really do take our values seriously?” -Reid Blackman, Founder & CEO of Virtue BIOS Justin Shriber is the Head of marketing for LinkedIn Sales Solutions. For two decades Shriber has helped companies accelerate growth and profitability by building strategies that align marketing, sales and service with customer needs. At Oracle, he headed Oracle’s CRM OnDemand organization, and at Siebel he was one of the early pioneers of the cloud, leading product teams responsible for delivering the first generation of SaaS applications. He was also vice president of products at C9, where he led product management, product marketing and strategy. @jshriber Reid Blackman is the founder & CEO of Virtue, an ethical tech consultancy.Reid was gripped by ethical problems the first semester of his first year in college over 20 years ago. Countless hours later, after reading, arguing, and teaching about ethics, he’s still hungry for more. While his early research concerned issues largely contained within the ivory tower, his research has become increasingly action-orientated, particularly as it concerns the ethics of institutions like governments and corporations, and also the ethics of emerging technologies. He has taught at Northwestern University, the University of Texas in Austin, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and Colgate University. He currently sits on the committee for “Methods to Guide Ethical Research and Design” for the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems and is a member of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Alliance. When he isn’t doing ethics you can find him with his wife and children, unless there’s rock climbing to be done.

Justin Shriber is Vice President of Marketing for LinkedIn Sales and Marketing solutions, where he helps buyers, sellers, and marketers connect via the world’s largest professional network. For the past two decades, Justin has focused on helping companies accelerate growth and profitability by delivering solutions that align marketing, sales, and service with the needs of the customer. Prior to joining LinkedIn, Justin led Product, Sales and Marketing organizations at both startups and large companies such as Siebel and Oracle. Join us for this conversation where we go in-depth about Justin’s latest brainchild - Marketing Sales Orchestration. You’ll learn how it is different from marketing/sales alignment and account based selling, why it’s important for both sales organizations and buyers, and how it can literally shorten the sales cycles and close more deals. Be sure you listen! This podcast is being brought to you by SAP Sales Cloud, formerly CallidusCloud. With SAP Sales Cloud's modern CRM, you can focus on coaching and developing sales reps, instead of forecasting. Learn more by visiting: www.calliduscloud.com/Vengreso Marketing Sales Alignment Is Only A Beginning. We Need More Nobody is against marketing/sales alignment. We know we need to be working together toward the common goal of closing more sales. But though we share information and work together on resources, we don’t truly coordinate a campaign or promotion using all the available resources of both departments. That’s where Justin’s idea of Marketing Sales Orchestration comes in. Think of an orchestra - all the varied instruments playing together. You hear melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and more - and it all combines to make a beautiful whole. That’s how we want our marketing and sales departments to function… together, in harmony, with a powerful impact only possible because of the orchestration of both. On this episode, Justin and I unpack what this kind of orchestration looks like, right down to the tools available to make it happen. You won’t want to miss this. The things Justin shares could enable you to engage with customers more powerfully on social, make your emails more effective, and close deals FASTER than ever before. Marketing Sales Orchestration Creates Powerful Customer Experiences You know the difference between customer satisfaction and customer experience, don’t you? Satisfaction is how they feel when nothing is wrong with the service they received. But the customer’s experience has to do with the entire process of getting to what they receive from your team - which impacts client retention and happiness over the long haul more than mere satisfaction. The way Justin says it, "Happy customers are more likely to be with you over the long term." Marketing Sales Orchestration is squarely aimed at providing an amazing experience for customers. It does that by pooling the resources of both the marketing and sales departments, orchestrating them into a powerful customer engagement machine, and moving prospects into the sales cycle seamlessly. Here are the basics. The Powerful Synergy Of Marketing And Sales Orchestration The MSO approach is powerful because, in a typical scenario, marketing and sales have different datasets from which to draw. Marketing can tell the types of audiences available - which gives an indicator of the general universe of people involved. The sales data allows the sales team to know which accounts have been closed previously and who was involved in the process. Using that combined data, you can determine what accounts to focus on and the personas to target. That's when you can go to work and watch amazing things happen. As the deal is being negotiated, content shared via social can have a greater impact and sales cycle times reduce. All of that brings about an increase in conversions over time. MSO Creates Social Content That Engages With Real Buyers Walk through a scenario with me: You’ve just had a successful first sales call. Everything went well. How and where do you continue to engage with that customer to progress the relationship? The orchestration of marketing and sales that Justin describes on this episode answers that question for you. The marketing department can help by providing content that is ideal for the customer persona you’ve identified. Using LinkedIn PointDrive, you can create content containers the sales team can use to post value-add content that customer will see on social. This gives the salesperson a tremendous advantage. But take it beyond that one customer. Marketers can do profile matching (finding prospects with similar profiles to that customer) to know what like customers are engaging with and what they are interested in. This enables the sales team to share targeted, relevant content that proves your organization’s ability and willingness to be of service - to prospects likely to need what you have to offer. But when you take this approach, make sure your social profiles are up to date. They've got to be more than an online resume. That’s because sales relationships start before the first email goes out. 64% of buyers look at a sales reps profile to decide if they will engage. They are looking to see if the salesperson has demonstrated expertise and relevance - if they are willing and able to provide services and resources to their customers? “Yes” answers to these questions give prospects the confidence and trust need to believe your organization might be able to help with their needs. How To Get Started With Marketing Sales Orchestration Get alignment between sales and marketing to make this kind of orchestration a priority. Put senior people on it and your teams will follow Focus on the data: It’s often the huge barrier that keeps well-intentioned teams separated. Find ways to bring all the datasets together Determine a process: Get your sales and marketing leaders in the room together for every step. Make sure everyone contributes and makes the plan a success. This podcast is being brought to you by SAP Sales Cloud, formerly CallidusCloud.

Lindsey Boggs has started to blaze a trail in the sales world, through her early adoption of LinkedIn as a social selling tool. On the LinkedIn platform, Boggs has a 99% Social Selling Index (SSI), and has trained three teams to generate more leads, convert more prospects into sales, using her system of connecting through the Sales Navigator system. LinkedIn's head of marketing Justin Shriber calls Boggs a “Legend in the Realm of Social Selling” and someone who “knows how to sell”. Boggs talks about her beginnings in social selling, coming from a background as a classically-trained Opera singer, into a situation where Boggs is one of the leaders in the social selling movement. Boggs speaks about the changing way in which connections are made, bypassing the gate-keepers completely, and how to better understand the LinkedIn platform overall. Twitter: @LindseyBoggs
