Podcasts about Mediafly

Mary Shea didn't follow a traditional path. She composed her own.In Part One of this three-part series, Mary walks us through the bold decisions that took her from professional oboist to PhD to sales analyst—and eventually to co-CEO of Mediafly. Along the way, she's picked up more than titles: she's developed a philosophy that blends intellectual rigor, creative play, and social equity.She opens up about what it's like to enter the business world a decade “behind” her peers, the financial freedom sales can offer underrepresented leaders, and how she's helping build not just tech products—but leadership pipelines that reflect the real world. This episode is for anyone thinking of switching lanes, catching up, or starting over.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Mexico to Management: Her Unlikely Start“I played oboe in symphonies, earned a PhD in musicology—and then started over in sales.”Sales as a Social Equalizer“If you're good at it, you can rewrite your life. It gave me the power to fund causes, uplift others, and lead on my own terms.”Behind, But Not for Long“I came into business 10 years behind my peers. That lit a fire—I moved fast, and I moved with purpose.”Creating the Playbook, Not Just Following It“I need intellectual stimulation. Managing is fine, but building strategy? That's what lights me up.”Enabling Others Is the New Power Move“My role now is to empower my team like mini-CEOs. Their wins are my metric.”Scaling With a Human Lens“We acquired five companies in under two years—not to show off, but to build something smarter, faster, and more inclusive.”Pushing for True Diversity in Sales“Only one-third of B2B sellers are women. That has to change—and I'm using my platform to help drive it.”Mediafly's Mission: More Than Sales Enablement“From revenue intelligence to buyer engagement, we're building the full tech stack—without losing sight of people.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Is two better than one?In Part Two of this series, Mary Shea—former co-CEO of Mediafly and former General Manager at Hire Quotient—shares how she navigated one of the most unconventional leadership models in business: co-CEOship. From building trust with her co-leader to balancing responsibilities across time zones and product lines, Mary unpacks the human side of shared power—and why mutual respect beats ego every time.She also explores how AI is transforming sales effectiveness, not just efficiency, and why today's revenue teams need to look more like collaborative ecosystems than traditional hierarchies. Plus: what every leader can learn from marriage, tennis, and the occasional business referee.Key Highlights of Our Interview:AI for Sales: More Than Speed, It's Strategy“We're not replacing reps—we're freeing them up for high-impact work. That's the real ROI of AI.”The Death of the 80/20 Rule?“With smarter tools, smaller teams can do more. We're heading toward 80% of sellers driving 100% of revenue.”AI as a Coach, Not a Crutch“Think of AI as a coach on your shoulder. Helpful, but never a substitute for personalization or judgment.”Behind the Scenes of Co-CEO Life“It works because we trust each other. We split duties, share a vision, and treat decisions like a dialogue—not a turf war.”The Marriage Metaphor (Yes, It Fits)“Being a co-CEO is like a professional marriage. You need communication, shared values—and sometimes an executive coach.”Slower Decisions, Stronger Outcomes“We may debate more than solo CEOs. But those debates lead to smarter, more resilient choices.”When the Umpire Steps In“If we hit an impasse, we turn to our board and investors. Every partnership needs a higher court.”Scaling Without Silos“We empower leaders as mini-CEOs—but only if we keep the org aligned. Otherwise, remote work just breeds islands.”The Bigger Game: Building Equity Through Leadership“AI, revenue, strategy—it all comes back to who gets to lead. And how we help more people rise.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Let's be honest—today's job search often feels like shouting into the void.In Part Three, Mary Shea—former General Manager at HireQuotient and co-CEO at Mediafly—tackles the modern job market from both sides of the table. She pulls back the curtain on how AI is reshaping recruitment: from sourcing passive candidates to fighting unconscious bias, automating outreach, and uncovering overlooked talent. But this isn't a tech sales pitch—Mary gets real about what AI can't do (like fix a broken candidate experience) and why human empathy still matters most.Whether you're a recruiter overwhelmed by applications or a job seeker ghosted by someone half your age, this episode is your career compass for a chaotic hiring landscape.Key Highlights of Our Interview:AI That Actually Helps Recruiters Breathe“We offload 75% of the workload—so recruiters can stop drowning in admin and start connecting again.”Talent Hiding in Plain Sight“Using multiple data sources, we find candidates others miss—especially underrepresented voices skipped by bots.”When the Résumé Lies—or Leaves Too Much Out“Some of the best candidates don't list everything. That's where smart prompting and human judgment must align.”Automation ≠ Apathy“Done right, AI doesn't depersonalize the process—it gives recruiters more time to be human.”Recruiting for the C-Suite? Yes, AI Can Help There Too“I used it to hire my Chief Customer Officer. Diverse candidates, faster process, better outcome.”The Real Human Cost of Getting It Wrong“First impressions matter. A bad recruiting experience damages more than the candidate—it hurts your brand.”Vince Shares His Story—And It Hits HomeA real-life example of age bias, HR tech gone wrong, and why leadership still requires presence and respect.Mary's Advice to Job Seekers“Be granular. Use LinkedIn wisely. But never forget—every opportunity still starts with a relationship.”Networking Isn't Dead—You're Just Doing It Wrong“In-person, virtual, or omnichannel—connect deeply, not just digitally. That's how humans hire.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Hiring used to be about handshakes—now it's about hacking the system. Mary Shea, GM of Hire Quotient and former co-CEO of Mediafly, spills the secrets of modern hiring, from decoding hidden talent pools to avoiding AI's résumé black hole. Whether you're job hunting, recruiting, or just trying to figure out why no one calls back anymore, this episode is for you. Key Highlights of Our Interview: AI as a Recruiter's Right Hand “Offloading 75% of the recruiting workload, generative AI and automation work overtime, tackling bias and sourcing talent far beyond the usual platforms.” Beyond LinkedIn “Why limit your search to one platform? With integrations across tools like Crunchbase and Apollo, HireQuotient casts a wide net, uncovering passive and active candidates who often fly under the radar.” Championing Diversity “When male-dominated results dominated a recruiter's search, HireQuotient adapted with a few new prompts, demonstrating how AI can open doors for underrepresented talent.” White Glove Experience, AI-Style “Automation doesn't mean impersonal. By automating outreach and early-stage screening, recruiters had more time to build personal connections and keep candidates engaged.” Omnichannel Humanity “Use every channel, but never forget the power of face-to-face. It's not just networking; it's feeding your humanity.” The Human Advantage “AI might read resumes, but humans hire. Keep networking, stay visible, and remember that meaningful relationships can outlast any algorithm.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.

Who needs a solo act when you can have a dynamic duo? In Part Two of this series, Mary Shea, General Manager of Hire Quotient and former co-CEO of Mediafly, takes us inside the world of co-CEOship—a growing leadership trend that's part genius, part juggling act. Mary unpacks what makes it work: trust, complementary skills, and a shared vision. But she's also refreshingly candid about the pitfalls—slower decision-making, the need for a strong board, and why even the best co-leaders need a “business couples counselor.” If you're rethinking leadership structures, this one's for you. Key Highlights of Our Interview: AI's Impact on Sales Teams “AI is paving the way for smaller, more agile sales teams, moving away from the traditional 80/20 rule toward a future where 80% of the team delivers 100% of the revenue.” The Rise of the Consultant Seller “AI acts as a coach on the salesperson's shoulder, helping them become more advisory-oriented, and enabling deeper impact in customer interactions.” Why Two CEOs? “In today's complex world, no single leader can address everything, from geopolitical challenges to the rapid pace of AI innovation. The co-CEO model allows for a divide-and-conquer approach.” Challenges of Co-Leadership “Decision-making can be slower, and sometimes we wish we could just do things our way. But alignment is key, and when it works, it's incredibly impactful.” Who's the Umpire? “Our ‘umpire' is our investor and board. If we truly can't resolve a disagreement, we rely on their input as the ultimate decision-maker.” The Professional Marriage “Co-CEOship is like a professional marriage—it requires resilience, commitment, and sometimes even a ‘marriage counselor' in the form of an executive coach to navigate tough patches.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.

I moved quickly, knowing every opportunity was critical to closing that gap.” Creating the Playbook “I'm not just about managing to a playbook—I love creating it.

In Part 1 of this podcast episode, Dan Sixsmith discusses a new research study by Mediafly that explores the key drivers of success for high-performing revenue teams. The study reveals that most organizations invest heavily in their sales tech stack and plan to reinvest headcount savings into innovative sales technology. It highlights the importance of data, engaging content, and personalized buyer experiences for success. Sixsmith also discusses the emergence of digital sales rooms in B2B marketing, which allow for collaborative value creation and efficient content performance tracking. He emphasizes the need for data congruence, pipeline management, and the use of conversational intelligence tools for sales rep training

As many teams struggle with driving stage progression (accounts going dark), increasing win rates and ACV (many companies are reporting 10% drops in enterprise deals), protecting and expanding key accounts (82% of b2b buyers are indifferent, disengaged or actively looking to replace a vendor), we asked Steve Richard (SVP of Revenue Enablement at MediaFly) to  join us on the ABM Done Right Podcast to discuss: Know your number and what it takes to get there.In many cases, ABM is being implemented without the teams taking a good look at the business -- and seeing where there are gaps and where do we need to change interactions/experiences/motions so we can get to the number that leadership wants. You'll learn what teams need to look for to see what we need to fix and prepare sellers for.Why sales enablement is not enough. You'll see the gaps in most sales enablement programs, how revenue enablement differs from sales enablement and how we need revenue enablement and account-based enablement to drive ARR, GRR, and NRR. We also talk about what revenue enablement and what account-based enablement should look like.The key areas where sellers need help.We discuss key challenges that sellers and customer success teams have with multithreading, influencing internal conversations, driving stage progression, and getting larger ACV. You'll see how you can enable teams to accelerate high-value tier 1 accounts to revenue at a higher deal size.Driving GRR and NRR We discuss how most customer success teams are managing accounts vs. being in protection/expansion selling conversations. We talk about the challenges that customer success teams have -- and where the gaps lie in their conversations/interactions that have them losing the interest of the C-suite and VPs after the close. We also discuss ABM for customer marketing and how teams go onto customer calls thinking they'll be able to upsell/cross-sell, and the conversation quickly turns to saving the account for renewal and why this is happening.

In this conversation with Latané Conant, CMO at 6sense, she talks about doing account-based marketing right. Today, you'll hear about making demand centers more efficient, team structures at 6sense, ensuring an accurate source of truth, Latané's most-used platforms, and the importance of saying ‘no'.  As CMO of 6sense, Latané is passionate about empowering marketing leaders with effective technology, predictive insights, and thought leadership so they can confidently lead their teams, company, and industry into the future.

Steve Richard, SVP, Value Realization at Mediafly sits down with Susan to talk about sales and sales training in a recession. He says, "Really good demand gen marketers that are super targeted with what they do and have very little scrap rate have never been higher demand. That's one thing I'm definitely seeing that's critically important right now. And everyone's going outbound." Key points in this episode: SDRs, SBRs, are you in the top third, mid-range third, or bottom third? Time to start self-sourcing opportunities How many times do you need to repeat training materials, three, seven, 50, or 100 times?  The sins that steady renewals can cover. Is this current market downturn isolated to tech to tech, or is it across the board? Steve's advice to take from this episode: "If you're good at generating opportunities, you're always going to be fine.  That's it. It's simple. So learn how to generate opportunities no matter what customer-facing role you're in." ----more---- About our guest: Steve Richard is SVP of Sales Excellence at Mediafly following their acquisition of ExecVision, the company he founded, in 2022.  Steve also founded Vorsight which he sold in 2021.

Jodi Cachey, VP of Content Strategy & Growth Marketing at Mediafly, talks with Jeremy about how content marketing adds value to companies navigating tough economic times.Highlights:The role marketers play in keeping companies running during leaner timesThe importance of tracking what matters, not just vanity metricsShowing people your value using the C.L.O.S.E. methodLearn more about MediaflyConnect with Jodi on LinkedInMemorable Quotes:"The best way to get them to care in an economic downturn is to kind of put your money where your mouth is and say, you know, quantify it.""We use a methodology called C.L.O.S.E. and that is challenge, loss, opportunity, solution, and evidence. So that's kind of how we structure all of our content. We never start with our solution. We start with, this is the challenge that we know you're facing. This is what it's costing you. This is the opportunity if you fix that challenge and this is how the solution will help you fix it. And then this is the evidence.""I think from my perspective, if the economy tanks and your team is still performing well and you're meeting sales targets, your value is pretty self-explanatory, right?"The B2B Content Show is produced by Connversa, a podcast production agency helping B2B brands connecting with prospects, generates TONS of content, and grow revenue.

As marketers, we tend to collect. We collect tools and software in our determination to better aid our efforts to reach, capture and support our audiences. But there's always something missing; actionable insights, a challenge that both we at Pathmonk and Mediafly are working to solve. Mediafly provides collaborative tools for sellers and marketers to provide interactive, value-focused buying experiences that drive revenue. The VP of product marketing, Nick Thompson, gives us an in-depth look behind the curtain and dives into his role in product marketing. Taking a different approach by focusing more on the customers than the product Nick is working to create impactful copy and productive customer conversations to shape the buying journey, speak the customers' language, and provide ultimate value.

Arrested Development. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Firefly. What do these three shows have in common? Well, for starters, people apparently are pretty fed up with hearing correct opinions on how superior these shows are to everything else on TV! And secondly, they were famously canceled. Low ratings are fear of all creative projects (please leave a 5 star review below!), and the grim reaper in charge of delivering them is the all powerful Nielsen. A revolutionary during the Great Depression, Arthur Nielsen pioneered the data surrounding ratings as we know them today. He's allowed companies to make data-based decisions regarding their work for nearly a century, and that's just what your CX needs.Today's guest, Jodie Jansen, is the Chief Customer Officer of Mediafly. She brings data to the forefront of CX and helps her team and customers make data-based decisions. And today, she'll teach you how to do the same.--------“Don't guess about the health of your customers, quite frankly, don't guess about the health of your team. Don't take for granted or don't take at face value that a deal is going the right way or a customer is healthy because someone said it was. Rely on the data to be able to give you those insights.” - Jodie Jansen--------Time Stamps* (0:00) Arthur Nielsen's guide to data-driven CX* (6:31) What is Mediafly?* (7:39) Making CX the heart of your business* (9:13) The secret to data-driven CX* (13:55) How to find the right people to work with--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Oracle CX. Hear more executive perspectives on CX transformation at Oracle.com/cx/perspectives--------LinksConnect with Jodie on LinkedInCheck out Mediafly

Everyone talks about the "Customer Journey" but often operates in stage-by-stage silos of customer acquisition, retention, and expansion.What is the Customer Journey - first, it often depends on if you come from a "Buyer perspective" versus the "Seller perspective." Ultimately, the seller is trying to figure out how to turn the buyer's meandering journey into a more liner, faster buying journey...sounds like an adversarial relationship using this model.One interesting aspect of today's buying journey is how to optimize how Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success collaborate across the customer journey. The early phase can feel disjointed to the customer as they engage with a vendor using multiple "marketing-led" experiences that are not well understood by the Sales Development and/or Sales resource, who often do not know the knowledge and experience the prospect already has from self-directed research.Does having shared goals and metrics across Marketing, Sales and Customer Success impact the customer experience? Having an "Account Energy Score" may assist in aligning the functions across the customer journey. It can also inform the probability of a prospect becoming a customer. The Account Energy score factors in signals at each stage of the journey and weight specific actions such as content engagement or activities based upon the stage of the journey, such as Customer Acquisition vs Customer Retention vs Customer Expansion.Though there is never a "magic bullet" that can guarantee a prospect becoming a customer, being able to dynamically score each point of engagement depending on the latest understanding of how each signal correlates to customer journey progress is a material increase in insights versus today's standard models.In the "tough question category," is it the seller's responsibility to follow the buyer's journey OR to try and help guide and lead the prospect to make the best purchase decision? Carson's perspective is it is better to lead the buyer through the process by understanding the buyer's actual needs and being willing to stop the process IF their solution is not in the best for the buyer.Another key point is there is NO single customer journey or buying process, so it's critical to always be listening to the prospect and align plus help guide the buyer through the process.In today's "land, retain and expand" customer lifecycle process in the SaaS industry, having a 360 degree view that is informed by every signal that impacts the customer journey is a best practice. It is also a best practice that requires tight integration of your Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success team aligned to the customer journey.If you are interested in learning more about today's customer journey, and how to use their engagement as input to your forecast, and to better inform your internal resources on the best next action, this conversation with Carson is highly informative.

For a locked room labeled “Marketing Spend,” the CFO holds the keys. And they aren't going to be quick to hand them over, either. This all-important alliance depends on the CMO's fluency in CFO-speak, AKA how $1 into marketing will equal more $$$ out. Luckily, it's not too hard a language to pick up.  In this episode, we're airing three Q&As with three CFOs who laid out their formulas for a great CMO/CFO alliance during a recent CMO Huddles Super Huddle (a bi-annual mega-huddle exclusively for our community of B2B CMOs). Tune in for some wonderful insights from Chris Andersen of Acquia, Nicole Anasenes of Ansys, and John Evarts (now President and COO) of Mediafly—insights that CMOs just might want to share with a CFO who's on the fence about the power of marketing.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegade.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

What is and constitutes interactive content that resonates? Is interactive content part of your business strategy? It's not something that every brand does, but it represents a way that content and sales enablement has been done in the past to create experiences that better serve potential customers than static content. Today's guest is Isabelle Papoulias, CMO/Vice President of Marketing at Mediafly, where she oversees all of Mediafly's marketing efforts and works with its sales and business development teams to ensure continuous growth. She shares insights on how to break the sales and marketing mold using interactive content.   Some of the highlights of the show include: Animated vs. Interactive: Mediafly makes clear distinction between two types Interactive Content: Navigation helps create constant customer experience Correct Content Usage: Helps marketers/sellers understand buyer behavior Common Content Types: Case studies, product demos, and success stories Site Analytics: Be better prepared for next interaction and serve relevant content Getting Started: Pick one content asset of huge strategic importance to company CLOSE Method: Challenge, Loss, Opportunity, Solution, Evidence for storytelling Scale Up: Improve, apply interactive content to other pieces, platforms, people Interactive Content Creation Tools: Mediafly, Reprise, and content agencies   Links: Isabelle Papoulias on LinkedIn Mediafly Presentify Mediafly's Customers Reprise Netflix Forbes Expert Contribution: 10 Steps To Ensure Your Pitch Stands Out To Large Clients Ben Sailer on LinkedIn CoSchedule   Quotes from Isabelle Papoulias: “Interactive content is content that allows for navigation that helps create a very constant experience for the buyer, ultimately.” “It's interactivity of the service of creating a highly engaging and custom consumption experience that really meets the needs of the buyer.” “Not only does it make for a more enjoyable experience, but I think in a remote world especially, there is an aspect of edutainment.” “So much of the buyer journey now is digital without a live person, without a rep that I know I'm definitely feeling the pressure of content needing to, call it, sell harder on its own.”

Forrester. Gartner. IDC. These global market research firms can put your brand on the map, or they can tuck you into the doldrums of an undesirable quadrant. With a direct and well-trusted line to B2B customers, analyst relations are no joke, and the CMO plays an integral role in building up a mutually beneficial relationship that lasts.   In this episode, CMOs Isabelle Papoulias of Mediafly, Carlos Carvajal of Q2, and Narine Galstian of SADA share their experiences navigating the world of analyst relations and the lessons they've learned along the way. Whether you're in the early stages of getting on the analysts' radar or refining the way you engage your analyst connections, this episode is packed with best practices, mistakes to avoid, and more.    For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegade.com/podcasts/

It's time to break down real SaaS marketing problems - with a sour twist.

When LinkedIn came out with its report in 2020 that showed that 44% of organizations are facing significant declines in responsiveness, we at Personal ABM mentioned that it was not pandemic related. COVID may have exacerbated the situation but it's because we need a new way to market and sell to prospects. Recent studies from Challenger, support the claims that Kristina Jaramillo and Eric Gruber made last year. Despite many companies rebounding in 2021 and despite sales and marketing teams increasing their prospecting by more than 5%, more than 50% of respondents mentioned that the biggest barrier to getting deals done is getting prospects to respond. On this podcast, Tom Pisello (Chief Evangelist at Mediafly) and host of the Sales Evolved Podcast and Eric Gruber (Personal ABM CEO) discuss:1) How we need to be much more relevant and important to a much fewer set of people than this mass industrial-scale attitude we have today where it's about as much outreach, activity, and opportunities as possible. 2)  How we need to improve messaging, develop new content to present it, and engage with a broader group of customer stakeholders to share it if we want to get greater market access. 3) How marketing can shift content and carry the internal conversation for sales. You must remember that only 5% of the decision-making journey takes place with the seller in the room – and in the room with the seller is a small subset of the buying committee. 4) How you need to build your storytelling and integrate it with your content and messaging to answer the questions "why change", "why now" and "why you."After you listen to this podcast with Tom Pisello, you'll want to check out these additional resources to help you with your ABM content and storytelling:Rebooting the Stories That Sales and Marketing Are Telling - A Podcast Conversation with Carrie KellyWhy Content Does Not Support ABM Nor Sales – Eric's article on Content Marketing WorldRehumanizing Sales and Marketing – a Conversation with BombBomb's Ethan BeauteRebooting Content to Support ABM, Sales and the Customer Journey – A Conversation with PathFactory's Cassandra JowettRebooting Content Performance Panel

If you want your sales teams to convince buyers to buy more often, then sales enablement may be just the tool you need.  Imagine giving them custom content and a more interactive and personalized presentation customized to the buyer's needs. It's a great way to Fix The Convince.  Today we talk about Sales Enablement with my guest: Tom Pisello. Tom is well known as the ROI guy.  He is currently the Chief Evangelist for Mediafly and the founder of the Evolved Selling Institute. Prior to this, he founded value selling and marketing firm Alinean, merging with Mediafly two years ago, and was a Managing VP for research firm Gartner. Tom is a successful serial entrepreneur, author, and podcaster. And I'm Paul Mosenson, the host of Fix the Convince and Founder of NuSpark Consulting, a marketing optimization consultancy for firms of all sizes and categories

Oftentimes marketers are not the ones that get to talk to customers. They build an understanding of what the buyer's needs are and then develop content and marketing strategy around their current knowledge. However, without ever getting to the buyer's needs in their own words, how is marketing supposed to know if they are heading in the right direction? How is the product team supposed to know that their buyers will positively respond to their latest innovation? A Marketing Leader, Cross-Functional Teams Strategist, and the CMO of Mediafly, Isabelle Papoulias, challenges marketers to be the most knowledgeable about the customer in the business. She explains that marketing leaders do so much more than marketing and the value of advocating for the voice of the customer.   Takeaways: Marketing should have their finger on the pulse of the customer, the trends, and how they are changing to inform product innovation. Without the customer in mind, businesses will only create products they are interested in, not necessarily what their customers are interested in. Marketing should understand the customer more than anyone else in the company. You want to get insights from your current customer base, so that you can go and get more customers. Turn your customers into advocates with a customer advisory board. Start building the board with your happiest most successful customers, ones that are fans of your brand. Have a variety of industries, company sizes, and roles represented. Do not assume you know everything, talk to your customers and listen to their buyer needs straight from the source. The CMO has to be focused on the company objectives and what success looks like for the business. If someone comes to you with an idea, use the filter question of, does this serve our growth objectives? Build your priorities by identifying the gaps and problems in your current processes that need to be addressed, to meet your growth targets. For marketing and sales to be aligned, the leaders of those departments have to have the mindset that, “we are better working together than separately.” Career Advice from Isabelle - Trust yourself, you know more than you think.   Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabellepapoulias/ Mediafly: https://www.mediafly.com/ Evolved Selling Institute: https://www.evolvedselling.com/ Evolvers Podcast: https://www.evolvedselling.com/podcasts/   Busted Myths: The CMO role is solely about marketing, which is not important, so companies should just eliminate it. - The CMO role is so much more than just marketing. Many marketing executives deal with enterprise-wide responsibilities, manage inside sales, and collaborate on product innovation. Businesses that are getting rid of the CMO role, are not doing without the role, they are just calling it something else. The CMO role is essential and far more diverse than just marketing strategy. Technology is the silver bullet that will solve your problems. - Technology is meant to help scale and enhance what you currently have. You need the human resources and strategy in place first, before just buying technology. If you do not have the resources to use the technology appropriately, you will only continue to scale your current problems.   Shout Outs: 29:26 Carson Conant, CEO Mediafly 1:09:20 Isabelle's Mom

It’s tough enough to build a company’s marketing engine from the ground up, but Isabelle Papoulias, CMO of Mediafly, successfully navigated through not just one, but two acquisitions within a six-month period. What did she learn? Not all acquisitions are created equal: it was two weeks before their second acquisition announcement when Isabelle, in conversation with her CEO, realized they had an opportunity to completely pivot their brand messaging for the better and decided to scrap their original plan. While this would be considered risky to most, the decision ultimately elevated Mediafly to a new level within the sales enablement category. Join us on this week’s episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite to hear all about Isabelle’s experience during these back-to-back acquisitions, how their campaign brought both expected and unexpected successes, and why ABM goes beyond marketing to give a company a surround sound approach to targeting valuable prospects. 

The integration of CRM and sales enablement is essential to improved sales success, according to this interview with integration partner expert Tony Kavadas, but all integrations are not created equal. There are several integration use cases that deliver more value, and should be a part of your sales enablement evaluations and plans. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonykavadas/ #evolvedselling #salesenablement #AI #ML #salestechnology #salestech #salesstack #CRM #integration #salesoperatingsystem #salesautomation #salesperformance #salesoptimization #customerintelligence #ROI #valueselling #roicalculator #tcocalculator

Ten years or so ago, the expression “never waste a downturn” became a popular maxim among business leaders who viewed the economy’s downward spiral as an opportunity to trim waste and restructure portions of their businesses. The expression also summed up the mind-set of a unique class of executives who, despite a bleak hiring environment, viewed the period as being potentially transformational for their careers. Such was the case with CFO John Evarts, who entered the downturn as a CFO for a not-for-profit and exited as CFO of Mediafly—a small content asset management company that in the coming years would open a new growth chapter by answering the demand for more compelling content in sales enablement. “From late 2008 to 2009, there were some challenges inside the not-for-profit sector, so I started looking for an opportunity to broaden myself beyond the not-for-profit realm—I was comfortable in taking that risk and making a bet on myself,” explains Evarts, who had originally transitioned into the not-for-profit sector from the world of investment banking and has also taken on the title of COO during his Mediafly tenure. “When I shifted from the not-for-profit area into ‘start-up land,’ I was fortunate to have this amazing opportunity to play a more strategic role and determine how to deploy resources in a more strategic way.” - Jack Sweeney   CFOTL: Share with us a finance strategic moment of insight? Evarts: Our first opportunity for mergers and acquisitions was really what I would say was a watershed moment for me. I had never had the opportunity to pursue an acquisition before, and I needed to figure out for myself what a framework would be in order to determine whether this was a good one or not a good one. It's very different from what's in the textbooks. When you get into the actual practical matter of pursuing an acquisition, you need to be very disciplined in how you look at it, how you think it through. We had to come up with this construct that we call our 100-day plan. When I started thinking about how to make that construct and 100-day plan--what we call "one Mediafly"--it really started driving home the point that culture is critical. The reason why we're acquiring this company is so that not only do we get the benefit of the products, but also we get the benefit of the really great people who are on the team. We were able to get this 100-day plan around M&A as a way for us to think about and philosophize about this "one media fly" concept, which is, for example, the way that we look at how to source the capital that is necessary and how to figure out how the people need to work within the organization. So, it's not only how many resources we need in order to acquire this company, but also what does the construct in the comp model look like afterward? What is the expectation of revenue production that's going to come out afterward? Then, over time, you get to the point where you're also talking about culture and its impact. What do you think about when more than 50% of the company is outside of the Chicago headquarters? What do you do? How do you think about remote work? So, all of this goes beyond the typical finance conversation. It's really about culture, by the time you get it all the way out. This, for me, was kind of an "A-ha!" moment, once we got to this concept of "one Mediafly."

Matt Suggs, EVP of Sales at Mediafly, joins me on this episode.

Mediafly is not the company it was day one. CEO Carson Conant and VP of Marketing Isabelle Papoulias are now offering up evolved selling with Mediafly. Delusional optimism was the original driving force, but after time passed, he found himself doing work for Disney. It’s a wild ride going from the early days of Mediafly, podcasting, to the pivot toward enhancing sales engagement for Fortune 1000 organizations. Quick tip: facts do better than anecdotes.

In this episode, we are joined by Matt Suggs, EVP of Sales and Customer Success at Mediafly to discuss the future of sales enablement. A 20-year software sales veteran, Matt offers insight into why B2B buyers hate being sold to and how asset managers can use technology to provide a truly engaging and compelling client experience. Some of the topics we touch on in this episode include the four pillars of "evolved selling", why mobile technology lines are becoming blurred, the true meaning of personalization, and how interactive experiences are directly impacting sales success and bottom-line revenue. We hope you take away some useful insights from this episode. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!
