Despite building a great product and amassing close to 1000 customers, LiquidPlanner struggled to continue on the same growth trajectory. Customers expected broader capabilities. Competitors had more money. And as access to capital tightened, the board decided to look for a partner.They found Tempo, a complimentary business that will help deliver better portfolio management capabilities as well as its connectivity to Atlassian's Jira–something their customers are looking forward to. Even though the acquisition happened a few weeks ago, the focus is squarely on delivering better portfolio management capabilities and confidence to project teams than anyone else in the market.In this episode, LiquidPlanner CEO Ted Hawksford talks about the salesmanship involved with internal stakeholders–and while it's not the 10X valuation that most startups hope for, it's the best outcome for everyone involved.Key takeaways:The challenges and concerns that arise when the two development teams are asked to work together before the deal is consummated. Communications with customers about an impending acquisition and providing assurances about the future of product development.The importance of having clean books before entering an acquisition and preparing for every detail to be scrutinized.Other resources to check out:Interview with Vinay Bhagat, Founder and CEO of TrustRadius who publish a yearly report about how B2B buyer behavior is changing.The Lead Gen Mistake I Guarantee You're Making – how to create content that better identifies intent from today's b2b buyer.And, if you want an outside look at your content with actionable advice, take advantage of our Content Audit. Valued at $20K in free consulting.

Make the Ask As people who are responsible for leading teams and projects, we are often in the position of having to make an ask. Maybe it's an ask of a team member or a colleague in a different side of the business. Maybe we have an ask of our boss or sponsor. One of the differences I see between those who go from point A to point B faster is their willingness to make the ask. Life is filled with opportunities to ask, and because of that, we ought to be good at it, but do you know what I find? We often don’t make the ask. Why? Why have you been putting off asking for a raise? Why have you been dragging your feet about reaching out to a potential mentor? Why do we hold off on making the ask? In this episode, I share a recent discussion with Kari Mirabal, one of my favorite voices when it comes to networking and relationship-building. Kari has a new book coming out soon and there are practical ideas that can help you when it comes to relationship-building, for sure, but also with any time you have to make an ask. Here's how you can learn more about Kari: On the web: http://karimirabal.com TEDx talk: (click here) Kari's book: http://karimirabal.com/books/ Let's Stay In Touch!

But with working with so many of our customers, many of which are PMs, of course, I think the core challenge is that they're asked to do more with less resources.  So now more than ever they need to use their resources in the most optimal way. NICK WALKER:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  Every other week we get together to discuss the things that matter to you as a professional project manager.  We want to bring out the best in you, and we do that by picking the brains of some of the best in the business, sharing in their successes, and sometimes learning from their failures. I'm your host, Nick Walker, and with me is the one who guides us in this journey, Bill Yates.  And Bill, today we're going to get into the nuts and bolts of some project management tools to hopefully make us more productive and make our lives a little easier. BILL YATES:  Yeah, I'm excited about this conversation.  Nick, the reality is every project manager has a favorite scheduling tool.  Project management scheduling is a big deal.  It's very important because it's so out there.  When you create a schedule, everybody sees it, and they kind of judge you by it. NICK WALKER:  Yeah. BILL YATES:  So we've reached out to a number of companies just to have conversations about their software.  LiquidPlanner is the first to respond, so we're going to talk with them today. Meet Jen NICK WALKER:  Yeah, so we're going to talk with Jen Morrisey, the Vice President of Products at LiquidPlanner. This is a cloud-based project management platform.  She's passionate about designing and building innovative products that help teams do the work that matters most. She's been a key member of the LiquidPlanner team since joining in 2009.  From her prior background in project management consulting, Jen brings a clear understanding of the project management space and understands customer needs firsthand. Jen, thank you so much for joining us here on Manage This. For starters, for the benefit of our listeners unfamiliar with LiquidPlanner, can you give us a brief description of what it is? JEN MORRISEY:  Absolutely, LiquidPlanner is a project management solution. It's the only solution on the market that is priority based, And that is built to really pull in factors of reality to build accurate schedules for our customers. NICK WALKER:  And how did you get involved in this? JEN MORRISEY:  So I first got started in human resources, and I never thought that I would go into tech. I started out of school at Starbucks Corporate and realized that project management was a calling for me. I went into project management consulting and project controls consulting, and so I spent a lot of time on client sites and saw that project management solutions out there just weren't adding the value that I thought that they should.  My clients really struggled to keep their plans up to date and to adapt to change that was inevitable in the marketplace. And so ultimately I heard about Charles Seybold and Jason Carlson developing this new different way to manage projects. And I reached out to get coffee, and one coffee date turned into nine-plus years at LiquidPlanner. BILL YATES:  So Starbucks Coffee, LiquidPlanner,
