This week on Timeless Leadership (available everywhere you get podcasts), the topic is Growth. Every business, every sales executive, every leader is interested in growth. But we largely look at growth simply as a numbers game. What if you took a more holistic approach? Our guest is Jon Ferrara, founder of Nimble CRM, who is dedicated to helping people grow — not just as professionals, but personally as well. While his company is a software company, their focus is primarily on the ‘R' in CRM: relationships. And Jon's leadership philosophy is centered around that; he achieves his own dreams by helping others to achieve theirs. Tune in to hear more about how Jon views growth, his early days as a software entrepreneur, what inspired him to choose the path he did, and more.

Making Conversations Count: Honest, relatable conversations with business leaders
Making Conversations About Processes Count! "Processes help us scale..." - Jon Ferrara, Making Conversations Count (October 2021) How are you building your brand? Hopefully you're using conversations? I mean, we all have business conversations but where do you keep track of them? You're probably having conversations across email, social and even through Google, using either Google My Business or your website. There's only so many our own brains can store before it gets all-a-jumble. Getting help with this leans towards software assistance and following a process. Databases aren't sexy and let's face it, there are plenty out there to choose from but picking the right one will be the difference for growth. We usually turn to CRM software. And normally when salespeople think of CRMs they think 'sales'. The majority might automate lead nurturing, but sales is still considered their main priority. So how do you best nurture the 'touches' - the human and conversational aspect of doing business? As a telemarketing trainer, this podcast's host Wendy Harris is a busy business owner herself, and so she's also been facing this challenge. Recently she's been made aware of the Nimble CRM which has been started up by her associate Jon Ferrara. He's adamant he can help her with her business processes and sales conversations, by using Nimble instead of Salesforce. And when she's promised that something can help her with her sales conversations, she's all ears. Her background includes being a telemarketing trainer, author and speaker on sales processes improvement. And her mission is making sales people better at engaging prospects through to closing deals faster, over the phone, with less effort. So that's why this conversation with Jon Ferrara was a must for her to have. Hopefully you'll agree it's also a must listen. Especially if your sales team could do with a better handle on sales processes and a way of keeping a record of sales conversations. Jon's sales platform is called Nimble, which he developed after his previous CRM GoldMine (which was successful) was bought out. Missed our previous episodes?

Lead generation is one of the most time consuming aspects of voice over marketing. It's also the one voice actors enjoy the least. Which begs the question... how can I get out of this mind-numbing task? Should you buy a lead list? Or should you hire a lead generator? In this episode I explore both of those options.

Recently I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of listening to your body and your brain. About not only paying attention to the signals they're sending you, but also being willing to do something about it.

Jon Ferrara is a successful entrepreneur and firm believer that we’re all on this planet to grow. He builds products that help people achieve their passion, plan, and purpose. He launched Goldmine back in the 90’s and launched Nimble CRM two decades later. John is a noted speaker who’s been recognized in Forbes. Jon talks to your host Travis Chappell about how he innovated an entire industry and became the genius behind CRM’s. Episode Highlights: Jon was born and raised in L.A. in the 60’s and spent his time on the car lot where his dad was a salesman. He worked his way through a computer science degree and then after a few jobs he got put in a sales role. He created Goldmine which was essential Outlook and Salesforce before either existed. Jon was different because he had two entrepreneurial mentors. You can always go get a job with another company, so be brave enough to try something. When you do have responsibilities it’s harder to jump off the cliff, you have to take into account how things will affect your family. What holds people back is not knowing how to get started. How Jon made Goldmine scalable and they got to $100 million in revenue. Jon learned things in his jobs that he worked his way through college with. Jon learned how customers buy software by working in a computer store and in software sales. You have to tell stories and get other people to tell those stories to spread the gospel of the technology. Service is the new sales. The difference between competition and collaboration. You have to listen to and iterate with your customer base. Jon came out of retirement to unify social and CRM with a new product. Why building software is a lot like writing songs. If you don’t know any what then it doesn’t matter who. The most effective way Jon has connected with people: humanness. LinkedIn is like a lobby or business persona. Your personal brand and network will help you achieve your dreams in life. Figure out who you want to network with and build a good identity, share relevant content, then listen and engage.

As a business storytelling speaker, a customer relationship management (CRM) system is pretty important for me to organize my prospects. But I find my relationship with the CRMs I've tried to be frustrating, cumbersome and not particularly effective. I recently heard about another up-and-coming CRM called Nimble and decided to give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use. Yet I wondered what their story was. How were they able to stand out among the other CRMs? I thought I'd challenge Nimble's CEO to see if he could use the Story Cycle System™ to define his core advantage and humanize his technical offering. On this week's episode, Jon Ferrara, founder of Nimble CRM, shares how they used the Story Cycle to help clarify their brand story, amplify their impact and simplify their lives. Jon is an entrepreneur who made his mark in the business world by creating and ultimately selling GoldMine, a Sales Force Automation and CRM software. But after a near-death experience, he realized early retirement wasn't for him. Instead, he set out to redefine customer relationship management by creating an online platform that grows organically with the growth of its users' social communities and email contacts. But can Nimble really be that effective and separate itself from the competition? Jon and I explore the brand story of Nimble using the Story Cycle System™, and how he has differentiated Nimble in a crowded market to be an award-winning CRM used by 140,000+ professionals worldwide. You'll feel inspired to work on differentiating your brand too.
