We're at an inflection point as sales and marketing practitioners. Some of us have heeded early warning signs as marketing and sales KPIs become harder to achieve, and others are just starting to pay attention. Or rather, they're being forced to—because buyers are taking more control and our outdated methods of prospecting are off putting. They don't want your phone calls pressuring them to take a demo. They're ignoring your emails. And worse, when you are a motivated buyer, you first have to go through the SDR gauntlet of BANT questions, only to be handed off to someone down the road that can actually answer your questions. We have to do something different, but what? Nelson Gilliat, author of The Death of the SDR and Birth of Buyer Centric Revenue, thinks he has some answers.He also makes some bold assertions about the future of the Predictable Revenue Model that turned B2B sales into an assembly line of specialization, and talks about how some innovative organizations are already experimenting with different models that are in-line with their buyers to great success. Gilliat also questions the whole model of quotas and commissions (that predates the Predictable Revenue Model) with some interesting arguments about how it not only incentives the wrong behavior, but also how it short changes people in their professions. While it sounds like a pipe dream (only a handful of companies are experimenting with different models) Gilliat does pinpoint many of the root causes of problems with our modern sales process that we've had for years.

HIGHLIGHTSThe SDR role is marketing disguised as salesChanging the status quo to demand generation Hunters and farmers of the sales assembly lineThe quota system is a flawed modelInnovative demand generation strategiesQUOTESNelson: "When I both an SDR when I was in sales, I realized that the quality of the leads that come from demand gen or website demo request were far superior and more desired by sales than the SDR leads who were less likely to actually show up to the meeting."Nelson: "The whole purpose of quota and commission is to pressure sellers to pressure buyers while also underpaying sellers. It's a way to get sellers to work free until the buyer pays and sell it."Nelson: "I believe you should have annual goals and not a quota, just like any other department and the company as a whole itself, as annual goals with monthly and quarterly tracking that is divorced from commission. In other words, you're not withholding 50% of a seller's salary pending that attainment."Find out more about Nelson in the link below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nelson-gilliat/The Death of the SDR Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Death-SDR-Birth-Centric-Revenue-ebook/dp/B09GT562GLYou can find and connect with Kevin in the link below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khopp/

The model that most modern B2B businesses rely on to generate leads is broken. That's the premise behind Nelson Gilliat's book “Death of the SDR and Birth of Buyer-Centric Revenue.” In this episode of The Inbound Success Podcast, Nelson explains why marketers need to get off of what he calls the “MQL hamster wheel” and ditch SDRs in favor of creating thought leadership content and investing in organic social.
Most B2B companies follow a standard selling motion of marketing-led demand generation, outbound prospecting by SDRs and sales, and sales reps on quota and commission. But could this structure be out-dated? The answer is “yes” per Nelson Gilliat, the creator of the Buyer Centric Revenue Model. In this episode of The Revenue Engine Podcast, Nelson describes this new framework and challenges the Predictable Revenue Model. So grab your headphones and get ready to listen to a different - and somewhat controversial - perspective on how to drive the Revenue Engine.
Many B2B marketers are throttled by the need to generate MQLs. Their campaigns and activities are measured by how many email addresses are collected and fed to an army of business development and sales reps. Nelson Gilliat believes there's a better way. The "Buyer-centric revenue" model allows marketers to do good and creative marketing that drives brand awareness and generates customer interest in your products. At the same time, the buyer-centric revenue model eliminates a lot of the prospecting done by B2B SaaS companies. It's cold outreach and cold-calling that bother prospects rather than engage and educate. Nelson is the author of "Death of the SDR: Birth of Buyer Centric Revenue"
