Outreach.io is one of the most well-know prospecting (or spam) software companies. Founded in 2014. In 2018, Outreach.io's first acquisition was Sales Hacker, the world's largest B2B Sales community and media company. Why did Outreach.io acquire Sales Hacker? Sales Hacker runs a community, physical and virtual conferences, and meetups. They produce content like webinars, blogs, podcast, templates, and videos. Their blog is 100% community-generated by Sales and Sales Development thought leaders and influences, including prospecting gurus like John Barrows, Richard Harris, Tito Bohrt, and Trish Bertuzzi. Sales Hacker produced content types like: tips, case studies, tear downs, guides, templates, checklists, research, surveys, polls, stats, and product reviews. Most of their blogs would get circulated by over 50 partners. They built a reputation for the go-to destination for unbiased thought leadership and actionable advice from peers—not vendors. They had a strong social media presence such as on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. Their Founder and CEO, Max Altschuler, wrote a book called “Hacking Sales” and built a strong reputation on social media. They had sponsorships from companies like Intercom, HubSpot, PipeDrive, and LinkedIn. Sales Hacker, whose audience was Sales, was built by Marketing. Gaetano DiNardi was the former VP of Marketing at Sales Hacker from January 2017 until the Outreach.io acquisition in September 2018. In a LinkedIn article, Gaetano outlines how a very small Marketing team, doing proper marketing, grew Sales Hacker 400% until it was acquired. While not a SaaS company, Sales Hacker is another ironic and logical example of a company that succeeds because of proper marketing—to a pro-prospecting audience. Founder and CEO of Outreach.io, Manny Medina, said at the time, “[Our buyers] don't know we exist as a category; they don't know that Sales Engagement is a solution. The main limiter to growth for us is actual knowledge, understanding there is a solution out there for their pain. We need to educate the community that Sales Engagement exists”. So, to generate awareness and demand about their prospecting software to prospectors, Outreach.io needed Marketing. So they bought it, via Sales Hacker. Today, Outreach.io does significant other Marketing efforts. When you think of Outreach.io, do you think of Sam Nelson (who creates a lot of LinkedIn content and dyed his hair blue), Scott Barker (who hosts their podcast), Max Altschuler (former CEO of Sales Hacker that also authored the book on Sales Engagement), or their CEO Manny Medina (who is quite active on LinkedIn)? Or do you think of Billy the SDR doing prospecting? Which type of marketing do you think drives their profits, growth, reputation, demand, word of mouth, and community—Sales Development or Marketing? How much marketing resources do you think Outreach.io invests in Sales Development versus Marketing? Does Sales Development do more harm than good? Only Outreach.io knows. Get started on implementing The Buyer Centric Revenue Model by making the business case for the experiments to prove it and achieve a gradual transition.

Grab your Free Copy of “The 4 Biggest Mistakes That Stop Companies From 10X’ing Their Revenue” at https://www.scalerevenue.io/10xMax started his entrepreneurial journey in the eighth grade, selling his Halloween candy to the kids on the school bus. In college, he pivoted from architecture to doing a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS). He also started his bike-share program, Rack n Ride, for which he won a business plan competition and got a grant from the university. Max went on to do another startup called Last Call Social, where he did social media campaign management for small businesses. After that, he applied for several jobs in San Francisco and landed a job with Udemy, which was a big break that got him into tech. He then got a chance with a company that raised about a million dollars in venture funding. After starting Saleshacker as a media company, Max did a blog, meetups, conferences, started doing angel investing, and wrote his first book, Hacking Sales. Max ran Saleshacker for five years. One of his first investments was a company called Outreach in 2014-2015. He sold his company to Outreach in 2018 and became their VP of Marketing for the short term. A year later, he moved into a sales engagement role where he focused on category creation, evangelism, and strategic deals. He then started the GCM Fund and wrote a book on career hacking, detailing advice from his experiences from his career journey. He also wrote a book on sales engagement. Max wrote his first book, Hacking Sales, in six days because he wanted to make it an e-book. Although he knew nothing about writing at the time, tons of new sales technology was coming out, and he wanted to profile all of it. He sent out a form, asking about seventy vendors about their companies and their customer use cases. Of those, he got about fifty back. That gave him some content to thread through his book, along with his processes. He then spent six days in Bali putting it all together. After coming home, he had it edited and published. He sent it out to his Sales Hacker list and sold many copies of it. After two months, Wiley wanted to buy the rights to the book, and Max refused. Ten months later, he agreed, however, because he had saturated his network by that time. So he became a published author.In 2017, LinkedIn had an algorithm for posting your career information that easily got vast numbers of views and likes. Max took advantage of that. After every post he did, he would copy and paste the post into Google Docs, along with the stats, to keep track of things. Max ended up with about 13,000 words of valuable information with which people were resonating. He decided to polish it up, figure out what he needed to add to it, and turn it into a book. He completed everything within three days, and that was how his book, Career Hacking, came about.Before writing his books, Max compiled as much information as he could from credible sources.He found it helpful to get his expert peers to help him out with his books because that made it easier for him, and it also added credibility to his writing.Max shares three systems for scaling startups for small to mid-size businesses:Figure out what your ideal customer looks like.Find where those people are and get them into your funnel in some way. (Use an outbound strategy or drive them to your website.)Perfect your messaging.After doing that, you can run either a scalable or a non-scalable process.The core framework for Max’s book Sales Engagement involved using information about 25 different companies. The things that separated the exceptional companies from the rest were:The exceptional companies were clear about their ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) before starting the rest of their process.The exceptional companies made lists of their target accounts to ensure that they were all lined up and ready to be sold to.For their messaging, the exceptional companies had an outreach system of action to refine things over time.The customer development of the exceptional companies was well-honed.To improve your messaging, take a step back and talk to your customers. That will help you understand what you need to be saying to the different types of customers. Companies that have not yet raised from seed should make a concerted effort to get traction, show growth, and get the money they need. That will build a strong foundation. Once they have the money, they can step back and refine things. It would be wrong for those companies to continue focusing on doing that after acquiring the money they need. In other words, you need to find something that works first before you worry about scaling, rather than scaling first and then trying to find something that works. Some of the most effective tools for lead lists are:Resources to help you find your ICP or the accounts you want to go after.Contact information.At Outreach, they use data providers for companies in their region. They use Zoom information on the sales side and Clearbit on the marketing side. They also use LeadIQ and Seamless.AI. Research your ICP and then find a database to supply you with the contact info you need.It is critical to have an automated platform like Outreach that includes sentiment and attribution for successful outbound.Currently, Max feels that there is more sales technology available than we need. Links and resources:Follow Max on LinkedInMax on TwitterAt OutreachAt SaleshackerAt GTM

In this episode, Max Altschuler, the founder and CEO of SalesHacker (which was acquired by Outreach in 2018), joined Yaag and Manish to share what goes into building an online sales community, the challenges one might face to grow the community, and most importantly what triggered him to stop doing in-person events and pivot to a 100% virtual community years before the pandemic broke out.

What if I told you that you could achieve greater success and more money in your career in less time? Well, today's guest, Max Altschuler is on a mission to help other millennials navigate their careers through promotion pathing and learning the skills necessary to capitalize on the short term while thinking long term. Max is the founder and CEO of Sales Hacker, the leading community for the next generation of sales professionals. He's the author of Hacking Sales, Sales Engagement, and Career Hacking For Millennials. Max is redefining what it means to build a successful career. When most people were busy trying to land internships in college, Max got his school to agree to pilot one of the earliest bike sharing programs. When that business failed to raise the necessary funds to get off the ground and Max found himself without a job as he graduated into one of the worst economies of the century, he started a social media consultancy that generated revenue within its first 30 days. After that, Max launched Sales Hacker and became a self-made millionaire by the age of 30, forever changing how he thinks people should approach their careers. In this episode we talk about the importance of sales in any career path, how we can increase diversity in the sales industry, the absolute yes's and no's when it comes to pitching, and how anyone can go into sales without an extensive background and still become successful.

Have you ever been a part of a customer community, you hear customers expressing a need and you feel that a campaign should be done to answer that need, however, you wait to act because you do not have the research to back your initiative? It is time to put the value back into understanding your customer and target audience. An Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Marketing & Sales Leader, and the VP of Marketing at Outreach, Max Altschuler, encourages marketers to take the time to understand their customers and to know when to act on that knowledge, instead of being held back by insufficient data.   Takeaways: Take the time to get to know your customers. Find out what communities they are involved in and put yourself there. Build a community with your customers that is tied to your business and branding with a customer advisory board. Listen to what they are saying. If the same recurring topic keeps coming up, run a campaign on that topic. You do not need research to tell you that, it is simply having a pulse on what your customers needs are. When you are just starting marketing at a new company, do not redo the website right away. Put the time in to get to know the customer base and target audience first. Every company should have a specific role dedicated to customer development and research. Someone that can listen to what customers are saying, run a poll or survey to your prospects and target audience, and then create a report for your company to turn it into content and thought leadership for your brand. If you are planning a virtual event, focus on your quality of speakers and sessions rather than the quantity. Create a space for virtual event attendees to engage with speakers, whether that is through a Slack channel or live Q & A. “When you try to be everything to everybody you won't be anything to anybody.” - Max Altschuler Career advice from Max - Your 20's are for learning and your 30's are for earning. Do not worry if you are not making as much money as your friends, if you are just starting out in your career. You are building your knowledge foundation for when you will need it later in your career.   Links: Unleash: https://unleashvirtual.outreach.io/ Outreach: https://www.outreach.io/ Sales Hacker: https://www.saleshacker.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxaltschuler/ Career Hacking for Millennials: https://www.amazon.com/Career-Hacking-Millennials-How-Built-ebook/dp/B07BTDMYY3   Busted Myths: Everything needs to be measured in marketing and you should not try a new campaign without the data reasoning to back it up. - This is NOT the case. Not everything needs to be measured. The ruling is about 80% should be measured, where the other 20% should come from knowing your customers and having an understanding of the current trends and their needs. You need a lot of speakers booked to make a virtual event successful. - It is better to have 10 -15 high quality speakers and sessions in which your brand can promote really well, than have 100 speakers with low quality engagement.

Work on building a long-term relationship. Now is a critical time to build trust. In crisis, leadership has to stand up and be thoughtful about how they are leading their teams.

Sales orgs that recognize this fact will have an advantage in the market place moving forward.     But before we jump into the episode I want to thank our sponsor the T-REX Summit the southeast’s premier sales and marketing growth conference. Join us on April 21st and 22nd at the Carolina Theatre in downtown Durham.    We’ve got a great lineup of speakers including Cal Fussman, a world renown speaker, journalist and author, Erica Schultz the CMO at the RAIN Group, Brad McGinity the CRO at 15five, Aliisa Rosenthal the VP Sales at Walkme and Melissa Sargent the CMO at Litmus to name a few.    Go to trexsummit.com or more info or to purchase your ticket today and use coupon code “BestSelling" to take 50% off your ticket price now.    Thanks for tuning in.

We are going to talk about the growing trend of communities getting acquired, how can you start a community from scratch, what to focus on when creating value in a community to have an impact on a company's core product and much more.Too Long; Didn't ListenThere is a growing trend of communities getting acquired by companies. Max believes it's all about providing value to your potential customers through communities. With a community, a company can offer an immense value that in the end, encourages community members to ask about the product. This is the reason why companies are acquiring communities as it helps in their sales funnel.Max also shares his advice on what every community manager needs to do when building a new one from scratch, focus on authenticity. Being authentic helps you to connect with like-minded individuals, Max pointed out that the best communities like SaaStr and CMX were built through authenticity.And for metrics, Max shares with us how they rely on vanity metrics like how many people attend their webinars. But they are also focusing on the deeper side of things like loyalty and engagement. As Max points out, when you spend money and time on creating content, you want people to keep coming back to you and not just read an article and leave. That's what a community is all about. You want every member to continuously engage with you.

You're robbing yourself by not owning failure. Hearing that simple truth reinforced how important failure is. Everyone experiences it, but some experience it at a level that helps them succeed. Max Altschuler started his career on the West Coast with a ton of velocity and ambition. Founding several technology businesses and leveraging that experience to disrupt sales, learning, and business development set a solid foundation for his career growth.

Great interview on the Sales Leadership podcast with Rob Jeppsen. His comments below: "I spoke with Keith Rosen, MCC on this week's episode of the Sales Leadership Podcast and he shared a couple of other head turning stats: 1) Less than 10% of sales managers are actually trained on what it means to lead a sales team. 2) There is nearly an 80% disengagement rate across most teams. Keith equated waking up and deciding you're ready to be a sales coach to waking up and deciding you're ready to conduct brain surgery. This is a fantastic episode and I am so appreciative to Keith for joining me. If you lead a team, check out this episode. You'll be glad you did. All week I've been getting calls, emails, messages about how great the last couple of episodes of The Sales Leadership Podcast have been with guests like Max Altschuler and Keith Rosen,. This concept Keith discusses about the thing that kills great leaders and great coaching moments more than any other continues to be something people want more of. Assumptions are easy to make and are hard habits to get out of. Listen to Keith's advice on assumptions, how to identify them, and what you can do to stop making them. It's a great episode and something every sales leader will be glad they've listened to.

”OutBound 2019 is Cirque du Solei takes over a rock concert to disrupt a sales meeting.” -- Mark Hunter “That's how over the top OutBound is. It's an amazing event because it's all about outbound prospecting, 100% outbound prospecting,” says Mark Hunter, co-founder of the conference, nationally in-demand sales speaker, and the best-selling author of High-Profit Selling: Win the Sale Without Compromising on Price and High-Profit Prospecting. For the third year in a row, the OutBound Conference (Atlanta, April 23-26, 2019), promises to rock the world of sales with the themes of Prospecting, Productivity, and Pipeline. This year's speakers includes: Jeb Blount, Anthony Iannarino, Mark Hunter, Mike Weinberg, Colleen Francis, Andrea Waltz, Victor Antonio, Jeffrey Gitomer, Bob Burg, Waldo Waldman, Shari Levitin, Jen Gluckow, Larry Levine, James Muir, Max Altschuler, Chris Beall, Bernadette McClellan, Meredith Elliott Powell, Lee Salz, and Gene McNaughton.

Max Altschuler is a pioneer of modern sales. He founded Sales Hacker and wrote the seminal book on leveraging sales technology, "Hacking Sales." After Sales Hacker was acquired by Outreach.io he became the VP of Marketing for the company. He recently wrote another book sure to be a classic, "Career Hacking for Millennials." We talk about the evolution of sales technology over the past decade which has been nothing short of breathtaking.

Max is millennial himself and has some great advice for companies and leaders on getting the maximum out of today's workforce.

At Outreach, we love events. We love attending them, talking about them on our podcast, and launching them. It's one of the most effective ways to get in front of your prospects and customers in one place. “It's almost like an ABM in person,” says Max Altschuler, our VP of Marketing. Not only do you get to just be around people who are in your customer profile, but you get to meet many of them face-to-face as well. Finding targeted face-to-face time is so valuable, and events are one of the best places to do so. But maybe you're not convinced that events are worth your business' money. Travel is expensive and it causes some of your best employees to leave the office for a few days. So why should you continue to send your sales reps to events? Better yet, how can you ensure you'll get a return on your investment? Make sure they do these five things before they buy their plane ticket.

Max Altschuler is redefining what it means to build a successful career. When most people were busy trying to land internships in college, Max got his school to agree to pilot one of the earliest bike sharing programs. When that business failed to raise the necessary capital to get off the ground and Max found himself without a job as he graduated into one of the worst economies of the century, he started a social media consultancy that generated revenue within its first 30 days. In this episode we break down how these experiences led Max to become a self made millionaire by the age of 30, forever changing how he thinks people should approach their careers. In his new book "Career Hacking for Millennials: How I Built A Career My Way, And How You Can Too" Max tells his own inspirational story and gives highly specific actionable advice for anyone that needs direction with where to take their career. We also talk about how he was able to overcome some incredibly difficult moments in his entrepreneurial journey, and how he's designed his life to be able to run three businesses at once - Sales Hacker, Career Hacking, and Sip Sutra.

Today, I'm talking with , the Founder and CEO of , a media company that produces conferences, events, and training that aim to spark innovation and community engagement in the ever-evolving world of B2B sales. As a startup, having a great product is just part of the battle. In order to stand out from the crowd and scale your operations, it's crucial to have a clear and efficient sales process. In our chat, we're going to dive into everything sales, from what a sales process looks like to how you can get started building the one for your business. If you've been avoiding sales and aren't sure how to get started, this is the episode for you.

In today's episode, we're talking to bestselling author Max Altschuler, the CEO of SalesHacker, author of Hacking Sales and his brand new book coming in March 2018—called Career Hacking for Millennials. Max has helped build 3 multi-million dollar businesses today and he still has his hand in a LOT of different companies… whether they're side projects like his new venture, Sutra Coffee or as an investor or advisor to nearly 40 SaaS startups. Originally from Long Island, New York… Max went to college at Arizona State University where he got his first real taste of business. He and a few friends won a business plan competition, got a $2,000 grant, and started building out a campus-wide bike-sharing program that was backed by the university… but this was 2009 and the US was in the depths of one of the deepest recessions we've seen in nearly a lifetime. So, Max and his partners couldn't get funding for their business and they had to close down shop. He learned a lot from this first experience and it eventually brought him to San Francisco where he worked for the online education startup, Udemy as their very first sales hire. After spending a couple years building out the company's sales process, Max launched a side project called SalesHacker—a live event that netted him a $60,000 profit on his first go-round. Pretty shortly thereafter, he dove head first into growing SalesHacker into the business it is today… generating over $3 Million in annual revenue from events, media partnerships, sponsors, and products… on top of that, they're bringing in over 100,000 monthly readers. Growing that business has led Max to launching more side projects like Sutra Coffee—a h

Takeaways Outsource List Building: While you need to own the process of creating and validating your ideal customer profile, you can and should outsource the data gathering. Using the idea of virtual assistants from countries like the Philippines, building targeted lists of prospects can be done quick and cheap. Build Outbound to Create Inbound: Instead of blasting inboxes with requests for 15 minute conversations, leverage your outbound messaging to deliver information that entices prospects to click through to your site. Then, using a chatbot tool like Drift, those visitors qualify themselves, generating conversations actually worth having. Optimize for the Long Term: When comparing opportunities, consider the long term value of opportunities over short-term money. OTE is often a mirage.

A special bonus for the Sell or Die early adopters, our full interview with smart guy, sales hacker, entrepreneur Max Altschuler. An edited version aired on our last episode but this has some extra goodies that we cut for time. Listen. Learn. Earn. Sell or die.

Anthony is not a tech guy - meaning he’s not the guy to figure out the ways software and technological tools can be used to make sales work better, even though he is an avid user of the tech that exists. With that said, he’s very glad there are people out there who are into the tech and know how to take the deep dive into it in order to make it work better for sales professional. Max Altschuler is that guy. He’s on the show today to talk about sales stacks, the powerful benefits technology can bring to the prospecting and sales process, and how human capital can and should be integrated into the process. Data is the foundation of any successful sales process ~ Max AltschulerClick To Tweet What is meant by a “sales stack” and is yours high enough quality to help you? When Max Altschuler uses the term “sales stack” he’s referring to the human, software, and tech components that you have in place to organize and utilize the data involved in prospecting, marketing, and sales. That definition infers that you’ve got to have a system in place that has quality data that is both current and useful. On this episode Max walks through the things that make up a great data stack, how he uses it when making sales calls, and what you can do to close the loops in your process to ensure that your data stays up to date. Do you know how to research a prospect before making a connection? Every sales professional knows that you can’t (or shouldn’t) just pick up the phone and call someone you want to make a sale to. You’re much better off in the long run if you do some research to know something about that person, what they do, and why your product or service is the right solution for their needs. Max Altschuler is a pro at sales and knows the sales process backwards and forwards from his work with www.SalesHacker.com - so be sure to listen to this episode to get his own approach to researching a prospect before making the call. How to prepare for a face to face sales call from an expert, on this episode of In The ArenaClick To Tweet What many companies do wrong when it comes to sales automation. Anthony periodically receives prospecting emails that are generated by an automated system. These emails show that the company sending them knows very little about him and has taken virtually no time understanding what he does or what his needs might be. This is a marketing and sales FAIL in the hugest terms. Companies that think automation is going to cut costs are actually costing themselves more. On this episode Max Altschuler provides his insights into the biggest automation mistakes companies are making when it comes to sales and how they can cut their losses and turn things around. Targeting your prospects from a variety of positions. Both Anthony and his guest today, Max Altschuler agree that sales professionals should not allow themselves to be hindered if they find that “THE” decision maker or ideal contact they are trying to reach is unable to be reached. There are many different ways to make contact with a company that can lead to great results. In his book, Max refers to “Top down” and “Bottom up” approaches and unpacks them on this episode. You need to hear this if you continue to get road blocked in your approaches to a prospective client. You can’t be hindered by missing the appointment with the “perfect” contact. Here’s whyClick To Tweet Outline of this great episode [3:10] Anthony’s introduction to Max Altschuler. [5:06] What is a “sales stack” and why they can work for you in sales. [6:17] Ideas of what might be included in a sales stack. [9:50] What Max does (and builds into his tools) to best research a prospect. [13:25] What can be done to improve the quality of leads by improving the quality of data? [16:43] Top down and bottom up targeting. [20:0] How email marketing often fails from a technology standpoint. [24:00] The risks involved in using automation.
