Tim McNeil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timmcneil3/ Sponsors vCIOToolbox: https://vciotoolbox.com OSR Manage: https://osrmanage.com In this episode, we talked about the advantages of having a Virtual Assistant (VA) and how to start working with one. 00:30 – Brian extends a warm welcome to all who join him and his co-hosts, Robb Rogers and Tim McNeil, on their podcast. Also, he mentioned that they're going to talk about something that you should think about when you ask, "How do I scale if I don't yet have the available dollars to hire direct resources or don't want to hire direct resources for some of the administrative tasks in our life?" 01:56 – Brian stated that one of the things he decided to do, as he had done in the past with other organizations he has run, was to reach out to virtual assistants. He understands that many of us have been hearing about virtual assistants in the marketplace and may be confused as to what the true capabilities of a virtual assistant are and what one should expect from this because he believes that sometimes when people enter these relationships, they expect people to just show up at their doorstep and be able to do everything without any real guidance or training. 03:33 – Robb asks one of the biggest questions Brian “What is prospecting really mean to you? because he heard some good, bad, and ugly for prospecting overseas, so what do you mean by that?” 04:06 – Brian responds to a prospecting question. In order to warm up the customer and increase the likelihood that they would comply with whatever your call to action is, whether it be a meeting appointment, demo, or trial depending on what you're doing, there are various methods that go into the sales process. We are attempting to get used to those things. 07:05 – Brian began by discussing how to prepare VA. He also talks about where he got his VA. 13:08 – Tim asks Brian if there's anything he experienced anything that his VA has not been able to accomplish for him. 15:31 – Robb inquires once more about what you can recommend for an MSP owner who is using a VA to assist them with prospecting. What is the first step after watching videos and all that? What is the first action you want your MSP owners to take? 18:50 – Robb also mentions octopus and typify as two examples of coordinates campaigns that use sales navigator lists. 19:10 – Tim stated that there is another company called Kennected that begins with a K, and they have heard some really good things about it as well. It also allows you to schedule social media posts on top of prospecting. 26:53 – Tim concurs with Brian's statement about having his VA work outside US business hours. He also added that VAs are people as well, that they have lives to live, families, and struggles.

Do you use LinkedIn? Are you struggling with quality leads and building a business you are proud of? If so, you need to meet Cody Harvey, the co-founder of Kennected- a powerhouse in sales enablement software. Cody is an unlikely CEO and today, you will get a glimpse into the unlikely CEO who is driving sales and driving true connections. Cody Harvey, 32, one of the founders of Kennected, is hard to quantify in a Silicon Valley-CEO type of way. It is hard to fit this country -boy-done-good into a proverbial box. Harvey, an entrepreneurial phenom, who, less than a decade ago perfected the art of couch surfing with $1 to his name, is reimagining the digital tech world in an old-fashioned way. Kennected, an Indiana-based tech company, led by Harvey and his self-proclaimed merry band of rogue Millenials are rethinking what tech should look like. Kennected is a sales enablement company that specializes in outreach & prospecting tools around LinkedIn and has made the Inc. 5000 list again. For 2022, Kennected landed at #438.Harvey's journey from LA Fitness Manger to multi-million dollar CEO of one of the fastest growing tech companies in the US is built on the foundation that a hearty handshake and eye-to-eye connection, is the trajectory to build an empire. Harvey is commanding corporate brilliance in an old-fashioned way, reminiscent of the 20th-century tycoon, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt built his fortune in the railroads and was not an originator of daring, untried experiments; he was not fond of radical steps. His temperament was conservative. He steadied the new frontier of Corporate America by championing solid, substantial growth. How is Cody doing things differently? Cody, along with his 5 partners, understands the power of a handshake. Snuggled in the warm embrace of Midwest cultural norms, Harvey, does not reject the direction Silicon Valley takes corporate environments. In fact, the home office in Indianapolis gives a fervent nod to the laissez-faire constructs of Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Kennected allows its employees to embrace the power of autonomy by personalizing the trajectory of AI. Cody is daring greatly as he is launching his brainchild, BREAKOUT, a social audio app that caters to creatives who understand the power of their voice. Breakout is a unique tool that will allow creatives, podcasters and entrepreneurs to monetize on a social audio platform.

Shawn Peterson, CEO of Quantum Business Solutions, walks us through the sales machine he's built that has led to scalable, repeatable, and predictable results for his business and his clients. On their best day, Quantum booked 20 meetings with c-suite contacts via cold outreach—with his team's best months including over 100 meetings booked. To understand how, we start the tech stack he uses (including softwares like Kennected, ConnectAndSell, and ZoomInfo). Shawn walks us through each, including the data that pipes into HubSpot, what he's able to automate with each data set, and how it allows him to successfully book meetings. We then move over to how this sales pipeline tech stack has manifested itself in client engagements as well—and how he pitches, prices, and replicates what works for Quantum for his clients.
