Podcasts about new business

The following article of the Tech industry is: “Strategic Agreement Management: A New Business Priority” by Christiano Lucena, VP and General Manager Latin America, DocuSign.

In Episode 110, Mike shares a sad personal update and tackles one of the most important and most misunderstood sales leadership issues: Sales DNA.  Prompted by client work, fresh research, and a painfully honest post-race interview from the Indy 500, Mike challenges sales leaders to stop pretending that your "nice," relational salespeople are going to be successful hunters! Mike also breaks down several aspects of selling (the sales process/cycle) that demonstrate why top new-business salespeople must be highly resilient in the face of rejection, and comfortable with conflict. From prospecting and handling objections to negotiating, displacing incumbents, and closing, he makes the case that sales hunters face risk, rejection, and conflict every single day—and if your people aren't wired for that, no amount of coaching, compensation, or accountability will magically turn zookeepers into new business development killers. __________________________________ This episode is sponsored by Pursuit Sales Solutions.

The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. In episode 420 of the CX Files, Guillaume talks to Mark Hillary about these changes and how BPOs may need to adapt. https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumeluccisano/ https://yuma.ai/ -------------- Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the impact of AI on the BPO industry, featuring Guillaume Luccisano, CEO of Yuma AI. Luccisano argues that traditional BPO models are outdated, emphasizing AI's potential to automate 100% of customer service within 2-3 years. He highlights Yuma AI's success in deploying AI agents since 2023, achieving automation rates up to 89%. Luccisano predicts a significant shift in the job market due to AI, suggesting BPOs must evolve into systems integrators to survive. He also notes the cost efficiency of AI, with interactions costing under $1 compared to $4-$8 for human agents. ---- The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. But according to Guillaume Luccisano, founder and CEO of Yuma AI, this time may be different. Speaking on Episode 420 of the CX Files podcast, Luccisano argued that the traditional BPO model—selling customer service through large pools of human agents—is facing a challenge unlike anything it has encountered before. His view is stark: AI is no longer just helping agents do their jobs better. It is increasingly capable of doing the job itself. And if that trend continues, the industry will need to redefine its purpose. The End of the "Cost Per Interaction" Era Luccisano's company specializes in AI-powered customer service automation for retail and e-commerce brands. He claims some clients are already automating the vast majority of customer interactions. What has changed, he argues, is that AI is no longer limited to answering questions from a knowledge base. Modern AI agents can access customer records, understand context, follow workflows, execute transactions, and complete tasks. In other words, they are moving beyond information retrieval and into operational execution. This matters because the traditional BPO business model has largely been built around charging for human effort—whether measured in agents, hours, seats, or interactions. If AI can handle increasing volumes of customer contacts at a fraction of the cost, then the economics begin to shift dramatically. A contact that once required several dollars of human labor may eventually be resolved for a few cents in computing costs. Even if those figures are debated, the direction of travel is becoming difficult to ignore. The Problem Isn't Technology. It's Incentives. One of Luccisano's most interesting observations is that many outsourcing providers are already talking extensively about AI. The question is whether they are deploying AI to genuinely transform operations or merely adding enough AI to satisfy customer demand while protecting existing revenue streams. That creates an uncomfortable tension. A provider whose business depends on thousands of agents has little incentive to aggressively deploy technology that could reduce the number of agents required. As Luccisano noted, many providers find themselves caught between serving today's business model and preparing for tomorrow's. The challenge is not technical. It is organizational. And perhaps even existential. Why Investors Are Nervous The sharp decline in the share prices of several publicly traded CX providers has fuelled speculation about the sector's future. Luccisano believes investors are not simply reacting to hype. They are attempting to price in a future where customer service becomes significantly more automated, more efficient, and therefore less dependent on large labor-intensive operations. Whether investors have overreacted remains open to debate. But the market is clearly asking a difficult question: What happens to a company built around managing tens of thousands of customer service agents when customers increasingly expect AI-driven efficiency? The answer remains uncertain. But it is a question every provider now has to confront. The Hidden Complexity Most Critics Ignore To his credit, Luccisano does not dismiss the value that BPOs create today. Customer interactions are only one piece of a much larger operational puzzle. Large CX providers manage compliance requirements, regulatory obligations, security controls, multilingual operations, workforce management, governance frameworks, quality assurance, and complex integrations across dozens of markets. Replacing an individual customer service interaction with AI is one thing. Replacing the entire operational framework surrounding customer service is something else entirely. This is where many simplistic predictions about the "death of BPO" fall apart. The institutional knowledge accumulated by major outsourcing firms still has value. The question is whether that value can be repackaged. From Outsourcer to Systems Integrator Perhaps the most important idea from the conversation was Luccisano's belief that the future role of the BPO may look less like a labor provider and more like a systems integrator. Rather than selling headcount, providers could sell expertise. Rather than managing agents, they could manage AI agents. Rather than staffing operations, they could design, orchestrate, govern, optimize, and continuously improve AI-enabled customer experience ecosystems. This is a subtle but profound shift. It moves the provider higher up the value chain. The emphasis shifts from execution to orchestration. From labor to outcomes. From workforce management to intelligent systems management. Ironically, this would bring some BPOs closer to the role that companies like IBM, Accenture, and other major technology integrators evolved into years ago. A Difficult Transition The challenge, of course, is that transformation is easier to describe than to execute. Reinventing a startup is one thing. Reinventing a global organization employing hundreds of thousands of people is another. Many of today's largest CX providers are highly successful businesses with established customer relationships and predictable revenue streams. That success can become a barrier to change. The dilemma is obvious. How aggressively should a company invest in technologies that could cannibalize its own business? History suggests that incumbents often struggle with precisely this problem. The Bigger Question Perhaps the most controversial part of Luccisano's argument extends beyond outsourcing entirely. He believes AI is creating a broader economic transformation that will affect many knowledge-based professions, not just customer service. Software engineering, consulting, administration, legal services, and customer experience are all beginning to feel the effects. If he is right, then the debate is no longer about whether AI will change customer service. The debate is about how quickly institutions can adapt to a world where intelligence itself becomes abundant and inexpensive. The Future May Belong to the Adaptable The most important takeaway from this discussion is not that BPOs are doomed. In fact, Luccisano repeatedly acknowledged that some providers will survive and potentially thrive. But survival may depend on abandoning the assumption that customer service is primarily a labor business. The providers that succeed could be those that become trusted advisors, AI operators, governance experts, and systems integrators. The providers that fail may be those that continue selling people when customers increasingly want outcomes. The outsourcing industry has reinvented itself before. The question now is whether it can do so again—at the speed AI demands.

Send us Fan MailWhat if you had a business advisor on call at two in the morning when your tenant sends a threatening email, your insurance company denies a claim, or you need to know your rights before calling your attorney the next day? That advisor exists — and it's AI. In this episode of the Your Landlord Resource Podcast, Kevin and I get real about how we use artificial intelligence in our own rental property business, share the specific moments where it saved us time, money, and a lot of stress, and walk you through exactly how to use it yourself.We cover two real stories that changed how we think about AI as a landlord tool. The first involves a domestic violence situation at our Sacramento 6-plex, where uploading our actual lease to ChatGPT at eleven o'clock at night gave us a detailed, clause-by-clause analysis of our options before we ever called our attorney — who couldn't add a single thing to what AI had already told us. The second involves a landlord in our community who used AI to find buried language in their insurance policy after a tree removal claim was denied, and recovered thousands of dollars as a result. Both stories come down to the same thing: having the right information at the right time changes everything.Beyond the stories, we break down six practical categories where AI is making a real difference for self-managing landlords: document analysis, tenant communication, financial analysis, legal and compliance research, maintenance triage, and staying current on landlord-tenant law. We also walk through the third-story review of Kid 2's Idaho duplex lease — where AI caught confusing utility billing language, missing ESA acknowledgment, vaping and smoke remediation clauses, a plumbing liability gap, and a winter vacancy notification requirement that could have meant frozen pipes.One of my favorite parts of this episode is the prompting segment, because it's where most people get stuck. The quality of what AI gives you is almost entirely determined by what you give it. We teach you the four-element prompt framework — Role, Context, Document, and Output — and share word-for-word example prompts you can use for lease analysis, insurance claim denials, contractor bids, and tenant communications. You'll be able to use these the same day you listen.We also address the one thing that stops a lot of landlords from trusting AI: accuracy. AI can be wrong, and we don't sugarcoat that. We explain what hallucination means, why AI's knowledge has a cutoff date, and — most importantly — how to prompt AI specifically so it flags its own uncertainty instead of filling gaps with confident guesses. We even share the truth protocol we added to our own AI settings to keep answers grounded in verified, citable information. AI is not your attorney, your CPA, or your insurance professional. But used correctly, it will make every conversation you have with those professionals more informed, more efficient, and a lot less expensive.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE•      How Kevin and Stacie used AI on a domestic violence lease situation — and what a one-hour session revealed that matched their attorney and the California Apartment Association almost verbatim•      How a landlord in their community used AI to recover thousands in a denied insurance tree-removal claim by finding buried policy language•      The six practical categories where AI delivers real value for self-managing landlords: document analysis, tenant communication, financial analysis, legal research, maintenance triage, and staying current•      How Stacie used Claude AI to evaluate a 34-unit building purchase using her actual financial profile — and what it revealed about her investment position•      How AI reviewed Kid 2's Idaho duplex lease and caught seven critical gaps including ESA language, vaping clauses, plumbing liability transfer, utility billing confusion, and a winter vacancy notification requirement•      The four-element prompt framework — Role, Context, Document, Output — and why vague questions get vague answers•      Word-for-word example prompts you can use right now for lease analysis, insurance denials, contractor bids, and tenant communications•      What AI hallucination means and why it matters for landlords asking legal or insurance questions•      How to prompt AI to flag its own uncertainty instead of guessing — including four specific accuracy prompts•      The truth protocol Stacie added to her AI settings — and how to set it up in ChatGPT and Claude•      Why AI is a first-pass tool, not a final authority — and how to use it to show up to attorney and CPA meetings better prepared and more efficient•      What to upload (and what never to upload) when using AI with sensitive rental documentsEpisode 20 – The Nuts and Bolts of Residential Rental Property InsuranceEZ Landlord Forms – State-specific lease templates mentioned in the episode – https://www.ezlandlordforms.comChatGPT – https://chat.openai.comClaude AI – https://claude.aiConnect with Us:

Today’s episode is a little different as Justin pulls back the curtain on his and Leslie’s new venture, Life Well Worth It. This passion project is a fitness and wellness retreat business that started with one big idea: what if they could take the unique lifestyle they created and the passions they’ve picked up along the way, and bring others along for the ride? You can actually join them on their next retreat in Nice, France, October 28 – November 3 (Early Bird pricing until June 9) The name Life Well Worth It comes from the concept of designing the life that’s best for you instead of simply falling in line with what society tells you to do. It also tries to highlight the mindset that Justin always used with his finances, where he never skimped on the experiences and expenses that were truly worth it and stripped away the rest. The idea all started with a realization after their six-month international trip. They loved the way they traveled, but they still found themselves missing community. So they combined their love of adventure, fitness, and community and booked a villa in Malaga, Spain, with 11 people. No prior retreat experience. Just a non-refundable Airbnb and a group chat. They cover the full breakdown of how the first retreat came together, from the near-cancellation moment, the structure of the Spain retreat (6 days, 5 nights, catamaran cruise, a gorge hike, race day, and a lot of home-cooked meals), and how the rave reviews left them with the desire for their next trip in Nice, France. You’ll also get a full explainer on what Hyrox actually is and why it’s more accessible than it sounds. They’ll also help you recognize how the skills you’ve built without even realizing it might be worth more than you think. If you’ve ever wondered what FI actually unlocks in everyday life, this episode is a pretty good answer.

Thema: New Business „Ich glaube, ein kleines, committed Team ist eine Superpower.“ In der neuen Episode von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Jan Paul Schwarz, New Business Director bei Mother Berlin, über die Realität von New Business in Agenturen. Im Mittelpunkt des Gesprächs stehen JP's „sieben Säulen des New Business“: von Outbound und Sichtbarkeit über Pitch-Beratungen und Events bis hin zu öffentlichen Ausschreibungen, strategischen Allianzen und dem Aufbau belastbarer Beziehungen zu EntscheiderInnen. Dabei wird schnell klar: Modernes New Business ist vor allem People Business. Statt rein markenbasiertem Prospecting plädiert JP für einen konsequent menschenzentrierten Ansatz – denn Entscheidungen werden nicht von Marken, sondern von Menschen getroffen. Er erklärt, warum Agenturen viel stärker in langfristige Beziehungen investieren sollten, wie man überhaupt auf das Radar von CMOs kommt und weshalb eigene Formate, Thought Leadership sowie echte Relevanz wichtiger sind als generische Outreach-Mails. Außerdem Thema: die Unterschiede zwischen dem deutschen und dem britischen Markt. Warum Pitch-Beratungen in UK eine deutlich größere Rolle spielen, weshalb professionelle Pitch-Prozesse dort oft strukturierter ablaufen und was deutsche Agenturen daraus lernen können. Gemeinsam diskutieren Kim und JP über Pitch-Fees, Red Flags bei Auswahlprozessen und die Frage, woran man früh erkennt, ob ein Pitch sinnvoll ist oder besser nicht gespielt werden sollte. Eine Episode über strategisches New Business und die Kunst, Beziehungen aufzubauen, bevor überhaupt ein Pitch auf dem Tisch liegt.

In this episode of This Month in Banking, presented by Wolf & Company, we're joined by Ed Barry, CEO of Capital Bancorp, to explore how one community bank built a distinctive growth model by expanding into specialized, nontraditional lines of business. Since joining in 2012, Ed has led Capital Bank's transformation from a $300 million institution into a $3.5 billion diversified platform spanning commercial lending, mortgage banking, credit cards, and fee‑based service businesses. The conversation highlights how an FDIC‑assisted acquisition unexpectedly led to the creation of a national credit card platform, and how that business—alongside other niche verticals—helped drive strong performance, deposit growth, and diversified revenue streams. Ed also shares insights on identifying acquisitions that add true capabilities, building and scaling new business lines with the right mix of talent and technology, and maintaining alignment between strategy, culture, and risk. The discussion touches on renewable energy lending, SBA servicing, and how community banks can compete effectively by focusing on targeted niches rather than trying to be everything to everyone. For bank executives, board members, and strategy leaders, this episode offers a practical look at how differentiation, discipline, and innovation can drive long‑term growth in an increasingly competitive industry.  Guest Ed Barry CEO, Capital Bancorp / Capital Bank N.A.

Chair: Tim Burke, editor  Speaker: Derek Griffin, head of acquisitions, Whitbread Premier Inn provides 12% of the UK's hotel accommodation stock – the highest of any hotel operator in any market in the world. This extraordinary success has been delivered through a continual 20-year expansion programme underpinned by a unique business model and flexible property requirements. This April, the company unveiled a new business strategy and five-year plan focused on the continued expansion of Premier Inn, but with greater emphasis on recycling capital from the company's largely freehold estate to fund future bedroom expansion. Greater emphasis is also being placed on leasehold opportunities to drive estate growth. During UKREiIF, Derek Griffin, Whitbread's acquisition head, sat down with Tim Burke to discuss the principles of the new business strategy including how the company plans to go about recycling £1.5bn of property, where it is focusing its new growth, and the future for its popular hub by Premier Inn brand.

What if having fun was the right business strategy? Because here's what I've seen after being in this space since 2008… It's not the most strategic women who win. It's not the ones doing everything perfectly. It's the women who actually enjoy what they're building. The ones who let their brand evolve. The ones who stay connected to themselves. The ones who aren't afraid to play, experiment, and show up in a way that feels alive. In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many women burn out when building a personal brand, what's really keeping you stuck or inconsistent, and how to shift into a way of building that feels lighter, more aligned, and ultimately… more effective. We're also diving into a simple framework you can start using right now to bring the energy back into your business—so you can stop overthinking and start actually moving. Because your brand isn't meant to feel heavy. It's meant to feel like something you want to come back to. ✨ In this episode, we cover: Why so many women start brands… and then quietly disappear The real reason consistency feels hard (and how to fix it) How over-consuming strategy disconnects you from your own voice Why fun creates momentum, magnetism, and long-term success A simple 5-part framework to help you reconnect with your brand How to build in real time instead of waiting to feel "ready"

Welcome to episode #1031 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when businesses are still trying to wrap their heads around "customer experience," few thinkers have shaped that conversation… and pushed it forward… as much as B. Joseph Pine II. As cofounder of Strategic Horizons, Joe has spent decades helping organizations understand how economic value evolves… from commodities to goods, to services, to experiences… and now, to something far more ambitious. Best known for The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre And Every Business A Stage, Joe didn't just introduce a concept… he gave leaders a new language to describe how businesses compete for time, attention and meaning. In this conversation, Joe extends that thinking through his latest work, The Transformation Economy: Guiding Customers To Achieve Their Aspirations, where the goal is no longer just to stage memorable moments… but to help customers become something more. He argues that the highest form of economic value isn't what a company delivers… but what a customer becomes as a result. That shift reframes everything: experiences are no longer the end game… they are the raw material for change. Drawing on decades of research and real-world examples, Joe makes the case that businesses must move beyond efficiency and even beyond engagement… toward fostering human flourishing across dimensions like health, wealth, wisdom and purpose. It's a bold elevation of the role of business… one that demands a long-term mindset, ethical use of data, and a deeper understanding of individual customers as people, not segments. And while technologies like AI can accelerate customization and coaching, Joe is clear that tools alone won't get us there… mindset will. In a world obsessed with speed, optimization and short-term gains, this conversation is a powerful reminder that the real opportunity lies in helping people grow… not just transact.

"Don't celebrate closing a sale, celebrate opening a relationship." — Patricia Fripp Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because the last step in my sales framework is not to close the sale but to open the relationship – Clearly Patricia Fripp gets me! Also, feel the difference between closing and opening. I choose to open all day, every day. I see sales leaders talk about building relationships in sales, yet most of the time, I don't see them provide tangible behaviors to actually build relationships that create client advocates.    About Joe Mindak: Joe Mindak is the Co-founder and "Connector in Chief" at Nolodex and the founder of The Connective, a community built around relationship-led growth.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4.

Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7. AI is transforming small‑business marketing Constant Contact offers tools to: Generate emails and content Summarize content for social Build full marketing campaigns Analyze behavior from large email lists to recommend actions Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Here are direct paraphrases and key phrases—not copyrighted material but drawn from the transcript: On email vs. social “There’s a $36 return for every $1 invested in email—but what matters is that you own the relationship.” “If a social platform goes away, so does your following. Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
