This is an interview with Mike Dickerson, CEO of ClickDimensions.Mike Dickerson is an entrepreneur turned corporate executive. In every company he led, he demonstrated the heart of a general manager—a talented operator with the gift of superb execution and people skills. These leadership skills were developed by interacting with the most outstanding leaders in the world. He grew up in Washington, DC, to a mom who was the first female Whitehouse correspondent. A dad who was a serial entrepreneur. A stepdad was a partner at Goldman Sachs and later Assistant Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration. The stories Mike tells are worth every bit of your time. The lessons learned as an entrepreneur are practical and priceless. This is one of my two-hour interviews that is as entertaining as informative. There is so much more that needs to be asked and answered. We just ran out of time. I'll have Mike back for the rest of the story. I promise.

CEOs often get lost in data while trying to decide what's working, if there is too much, or if it's even correct. But even great data is moot if not activated properly across commercial functions. On today's show, Mike Dickerson, CEO of ClickDimensions, joins us to discuss how CEOs should be thinking about their data and the processes that go with it. By owning the data, CEOs will not only have clearer visibility into the complete operation but also a unified fact base to run an unmatched commercial strategy.

LIKEITORNOT is back at Post Office Studios with a new episode that lightly discusses the burgeoning Tacoma pizza scene, s/o Tacoma Pie, @salamonespizzawa @woodencitytacoma @alota.rabinos also since we love Infinite Soup we shout them out along with the soups we both got and the deals they offer 2p-7p daily! Also the gramma slices @outpostsandwichtacoma on Fridays only, the gyros @sluggo_brewing @thevalleytacoma gets a shout, and just a lot of randomness on this episode that is powered by @fortgeorgebeer Suicide Squeeze a 7.2% IPA and some fire ass weed that we smoked before the show, and the mixture of the two..it kind of made the taste in my mouth equivalent to snake juice..—Also, the great Mike Dickerson and Federal Way get shown love but you also don't wanna be out there in some parts after dark cause man people always seem to make the news the wrong way, getting caught in the wrong pockets out there. Anyways, @dpwolfsburg my old buddy gets a shout along with the restaurant he is executive chef at @bellafemminagigharbor RIP SPIRO'S! My posts are always all over the place but we have always got to show love to the ones who love us most and @sliceboxpizza has also been there since the jump! If you are ever in SODO or just want the best pizza around, THEY HAVE IT. Believe me on that. Make the trip. Plenty worth it. Eventually, Smoke Loc (host @a_hyp) dives into some old, semi-dark weed stories

When the full extent of the coronavirus pandemic finally became clear to businesses around the world, the falling stock markets, locked up supply chains, and panic buying were accompanied by a frenzy within marketing departments to re-calibrate both their messaging and their communication channels. For marketing automation vendor ClickDimensions, one of the results was a massive jump in message volume from customers, says the company's CEO Mike Dickerson. He also observed that the crisis has put very different demands on the customers and the Microsoft partners with which his team works on a daily basis. Dickerson talks with us about these recent experiences and his observations on changes in the Microsoft channel since he last joined the podcast, including the evolution of digital marketing more generally, the need for special skills to accompany a marketing automation deployment, and the ISV Connect program. Show Notes: 1:30 - Responding to the impact of coronavirus on customers and partners 6:30 - Modern B2B needs still reflect the digital consumer mindset 8:30 - What shutdowns did to customers' communication volume 9:30 - How the ClickDimensions services business has evolved, and the role it plays with Dynamics partners 17:00 - How marketing automation users have adapted - or failed to adapt - their engagement strategy in the midst of a crisis. 21:30 - Mike's perspective on how the pandemic is impacting the Microsoft channel more broadly 26:30 - ISV Connect and its progress from the partner perspective 31:00 - The risks of ISV Connect from the investor perspective and their influence with MIcrosoft 35:00 - How else can partners adjust for better outcomes

What does it mean to be an ISV in the Microsoft business applications channel these days? With so many aspects of that particular type of partner relationship in flux today, there is no single answer. Yet another sign that things are not what they used to be: the most recent Inc. 5000 list, which featured only five or so partners from the Microsoft Dynamics channel down from nearly twenty in 2017. While magazine "best of" lists are a generally terrible way to measure anything, at least this one has a bit of quantitative data to use as a starting point for a discussion. So on this MSDW podcast episode, we speak with Mike Dickerson, CEO of ClickDimensions, one of the Dynamics-focused ISVs on this year's list. They reported over 100% growth over the last three years. As Mike tells us, there is no single reason for the drop on the Inc list. But with the massive changes underway in this space, both with the products and the partner strategy, there is plenty to consider in terms of what is changing, why, and how ISVs can position themselves for the future. Show Notes 3:00 – What has allowed ISVs to grow historically in the Dynamics space? 6:00 – What might have caused the dropoff in high growth ISVs in this space, as measured by the Inc. 5000? 11:15 – Is it a problem for Microsoft if fewer ISVs in their channel are growing? 13:30 – What does growth mean to ISVs vs VARs? 18:30 – How much influence does Microsoft have as a partner vs as a competitor? 22:30 – The multi-faceted art of planning for change in the Microsoft channel 27:15 – Can newcomers to the Microsoft business applications channel find real growth opportunities today? 30:00 – How businesses can make the most of their marketing automation investments.

In this episode we talk to Mike Dickerson, CEO of ClickDimenions. The digital era has fundamentally changed B2B sales in three fundamental ways: Sellers no longer have a monopoly on information. Buyers have almost unlimited access to more content to help them discover their pains, define their needs and research alternatives. Buyers have more competitive alternatives. Using digital technologies, competitors can reach buyers regardless of geographic location and hour of day. Buyers no longer are beholden to the seller’s appointment schedule; they can do their buying work whenever and wherever they want. Prospects are harder to reach. Cold calls don’t work. People don’t want to be interrupted, they don’t want to be sold and they are hard to engage. We know prospects are online, bit it requires skills to find prospects who browse anonymously in a universe of websites and content. Buyers also are wary of all the spin, they put more weight on authentic customer reviews and trusted members of their social networks. Click here to connect with this guest on LinkedIn.

With the release of the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Marketing App, I wanted to explore its capabilities and how it compares with ClickDimensions and the Adobe Marketing Cloud. I didn't want to tackle this topic by myself, so I invited someone who has spent a lot of time working with the new marketing app, fellow CRM MVP Steve Mordue. I also wanted to explore how the new app compares with well-established marketing automation solutions for Dynamics 365, so I invited Mike Dickerson who is the CEO at ClickDimensions to explore not only the differences but also to understand how ClickDimensions feels about the new app, and Microsoft's partnership with Adobe. One final note regarding this episode: we had some technical issues with the solution we typically use to record our podcast episodes, so we had to switch to Plan B, and this is why this episode sounds more like a conference call rather than the crystal-clear sound you are accustomed to on this podcast. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Joining us for today’s show is Mike Dickerson, the Chief Executive Officer for ClickDimensions who knows how to make the number. Today’s topic is focused on demonstrating the corporate strategy’s competitive view. For many companies, the CEO leaves competitive guidance up to a simple report of competitor capabilities developed by an analyst. This represents one of the least defined areas of corporate strategy by CEO’s for their marketing and sales teams. There is a better way to increase your team’s win rate against the competition. Mike and I leverage the How to Make Your Number in 2018 Workbook to access emerging best practices as a guide for our questions. Access the latest workbook to review the Competitors phase starting on page 70 of the Corporate Strategy section dedicated to generating revenue growth. Mike Dickerson, the Chief Executive Officer for ClickDimensions, a SaaS-based marketing automation company with 3,000 customers. Under Mike’s leadership, the company has grown 45% in the last year with revenues of $45M. Mike will demonstrate how to define who you compete with, and how to win. Why this topic? Share battles often lead to below average revenue growth because the cycle of market share give-and-take rarely results in a permanent share gain for any one competitor. Sustainable revenue growth from share gain comes from changing the product or its delivery enough to create what is effectively a new product. Price wars do not result in share gain driven revenue growth because they can result in a decline in sales, and are not repeatable. This is because customers will eventually push back, thus eroding any short-term revenue growth. Mike is uniquely qualified to speak on this topic as a CEO with a corporate strategy and planning background. He knows the importance of setting the right corporate strategy to enable his functional leaders to be successful. [p] In the first segment of the program Mike and I discuss his company’s unique competitive advantage. There are three broad types of competitive advantage. The first is a superior product, and that's clearly the case here with ClickDimensions, who has built their product with a UI that’s differentiated. They have a very clear competitive advantage there. The second type of differentiation is price. The way that you can compete on price is that you have a lower cost structure than your competitors. As a result of that, you can be more competitive in pricing and offer a better value proposition. Mike describes a very unique go to market model, with a thousand channel partners that allow him to have a lower sales and marketing costs, so he can be more competitive from a pricing perspective, which is a brilliant strategy. The third type of competitive advantage a CEO can typically choose from is customer experience. A god example we can all relate to is the difference between a Four Seasons Hotel, as opposed to the Hilton. They both sell the same thing for the most part, but the Four Season's experience is quite a bit different, so they charge quite a bit more, even though it's the same product. That's called the customer experience. Listen as Mike describes his customer experience advantage. Here is a starting quote from Mike, and you’ll want to hear the full show to unpack this example and apply it to your company: Our longer term sustainable advantage is in our distribution system. Sure, we must stay relevant in our product – The product we have today may only be a part of our portfolio tomorrow. The pace of technology changes, certainly in the marketing technology space, and I'm not sure anyone has an exactly perfect view on where that's going to be. So, we'll have to react to that. But the long-term thing that I think we can build a business on is the unique distribution model and the support that we provide in that space.
