At its core Sales Enablement 3.0 is an innovative approach focused on increasing sales productivity through a systematic, personalized, and collaborative approach designed to support buyers that will fuel the conversation economy and impact revenue. This book will provide you with a blueprint that will help you to navigate the twists and turns that will ultimately lead you to designing, deploying, measuring, and iterating a world-class sales enablement organization.  About the Author: Roderick Jefferson is an award-winning senior executive with 20+ years of sales leadership and is an acknowledged practitioner and keynote speaker in the sales enablement space.

Rahim is the CEO and Co-Founder of SV Academy, an online, employer-driven school that helps underrepresented jobseekers break into non-coding careers in the tech industry. SV Academy was named the #2 Most Innovative Education Program by Fast Company. Prior to SV Academy, Rahim was the CEO and Co-Founder of Involver, an enterprise social media platform, which was acquired by Oracle and is now part of the Oracle Marketing Cloud. Post sale, he was a key account executive supporting the global field and inside sales organizations. Previously, he founded a web hosting company with his friend Husein while still in high school. Its sale (for $1.5m!) was negotiated while writing his senior year exams. Because of life circumstances, Rahim didn't end up going to a four-year college, or receiving his bachelors. A few years back, Rahim received an Empact 100 Award at the White House from Startup America and The Kauffman Foundation. Rahim was also named one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 in America by Inc. Magazine, one of the Top 40 Under 40 by the San Francisco Business Times, and one of the Top 25 Digital Thought-Leaders by iMedia. Rahim loves helping and learning from people who are charting their own course. He's an investor or advisor to a number of start-ups, early-stage venture funds, and non-profit organizations.

I kick off the conversation with Rahim by asking him which city has the best economic opportunity. I was intrigued by his response. We discussed how sales and business have changed in the new remote working environment. Rahim shares his advice for other tech founders embarking on a startup. We talk about his founder's story which began in high school. The mission of his new company SV Academy is to train underrepresented people in remote areas to be able to participate in business. Rahim also shares some of his biggest challenges as a founder.“It could be because they have some disability that might prevent them from being there in person. But they've got the motivation, they've got the skill, they've got the know-how, and they're able to create, like this really compelling experience for their prospect without ever leaving their home. And that is most definitely the direction we're headed. And I think it will become the new norm again, with some selective, selective in person.” - Rahim FazalToday on Startups for Good we cover:-The role family and extended family play for a founder-The changes in jobs as more companies utilize remote workers-Human centered skill sets-Training people in sales and how it has changed-How to deal with imposter syndrome as a founderConnect with Rahim on Twitter https://twitter.com/rahimthedream and find out more about SV Academy on Twitter https://twitter.com/SVAhq and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/svahq/ and their website https://sv.academySubscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!Thanks for tuning into today's episode of Startups For Good with your host, Miles Lasater.

In episode 59 of the Customers Who Click podcast, I had a fantastic time chatting to Dun Burcaw about subscriptions. We're seeing subscriptions pop up everywhere for everything these days, from everyday household items to self-care products, magazines, newspapers, music, video, sports; there isn't much that can't be covered by a subscription. And do you know what, people love the convenience. But because there are so many of them out there, subscription brands are having trouble with converting, engaging, and retaining those customers. The minute the customer feels as though they're not getting enough value, they're off, browsing through your competitors. Value is the key component of any successful business but even more so in the DTC subscription space. If you can convince the customer that not only is your product valuable and right for them, but your business is as well, you my friend, have won yourself a loyal customer. Dan is the Co-Founder & CEO at Nami ML, the smartest service to help brands launch, scale, and optimize their mobile app subscription business. He calls himself a serial entrepreneur, having co-founded three other successful startups before Nami ML (one of them was acquired by  the Oracle Marketing Cloud, where he also served as Co-Founder & CEO.)

DTRH Ep.13: The Origin of Sales Enablement - Feat. Roderick Jefferson  Ever heard of the term "Sales Enablement"? Well, you're about to learn not only what it is but what it means and uncover the origin of the term from the man who coined it himself—Roderick Jefferson. The man, the myth, the legend. Oh yeah, baby, you gonna learn today!  Episode Summary  In today’s episode of Down The Rabbit Hole, your host, Rob Turley, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at White Rabbit Intel, delves deep into the mind of Roderick Jefferson to unearth the truth about sales enablement and sales team strategies by aligning with The Buyer's Journey.  The Buyer's Journey is the most critical piece to a successful sales strategy while enabling sales because people buy from people! That's the truth. There is nothing fictitious about a business's success that drives selling via customer engagement and relationship building. The key is to think on your feet to put oneself into the buyer's shoes as best as possible, and to do that, you need to understand not only them but their industry as well.  How would you want to buy the product or service you're selling? Do you want to be treated as a "cha-ching" or a number? Nope! You want to be treated like a valuable asset. Like you matter. Like you are the most important person in the room. It's all about getting helped and being shown, not told and sold. Simple as that.  If your sales strategy does not drive this simple concept, then you're not going to get very far, and you're not going to last. That's when the relationship starts, not when it's concluded. Your job as a sales professional is not done until the relationship has concluded to its entirety, and even still, staying in touch and on good terms is vital to success.  “If a sales professional believes that the sale is over after the close, they're dead wrong. It has only just begun.”  – Rob Turley  About Roderick  Roderick Jefferson is the CEO of Roderick Jefferson & Associates. He has 20+ years of sales leadership and is an acknowledged thought leader and keynote speaker in the sales enablement space. Roderick is a highly regarded executive whose expertise and insight is sought after because he understands how to create bridges between internal organizations to empower sales to exceed expectations.  Prior to Roderick Jefferson & Associates, he held various executive leadership, sales, sales enablement, operations, and customer experience roles for Marketo, Oracle Marketing Cloud, Salesforce, 3PAR, Business Objects, NetApp, PayPal, Siebel Systems, & AT&T.  Check out Roderick's new book Sales Enablement 3.0 and mention that you got referred by Down The Rabbit Hole Podcast and you'll get a massive discount!

What happens when you put an incredibly articulate CMO in a cab with the host of Renegade Thinkers Unite? Genuine fast-paced goodness, that’s what!  Jennifer Renaud, CMO of Vertiv, a $4.5 Billion company that spun out of Emerson Power in late 2016, is absolutely riveting as she shares the stories of two large companies that abandoned well-known brand names with frightful results. The first company in question was Oracle. During her time there, Renaud witnessed the disappearance of both the Eloqua and Responsys brands in favor of the new Oracle Marketing Cloud. The initial results were not pretty as thousands of Eloqua and Responsys lovers searched in vain for those brands. Site traffic dropped off dramatically until they returned to using the old names at least on landing page. Amazingly, the same thing happened at Vertiv, the parent company of brands like Liebert, Avocent and Geist. While none of these are household names, it turns out they are well liked in their vertical markets. Shortly after her arrival at Vertiv in April 2018, Renaud visited a customer who had not heard of her new company, but when she shared the name of the other brands, he said proudly, “oh great, do you want to see my Liebert?” It was at the moment that Renaud realized that bringing back the Liebert name, at least online, as well as the others, could have a dramatic impact on their business. She was right!  If you’re thinking about abandoning a brand name, then do listen in both to understand the risks and to hear ways of mitigating the downside. And for anyone who wants to make a case for growing brand awareness, you’ll find it especially interesting to hear what happens when that awareness is suddenly taken away.

Destinee Berman has been called a “soul sister,” “Durga Destinee,” and the secret “visionary” behind today’s most widely recognized online schools in the intuitive arts and spiritual healing spaces. After spending 15 years in Silicon Valley, managing accounts for Twitter and Oracle Marketing Cloud, Destinee left in 2014 answering the call to serve higher and walk her own spiritual path. In this episode, we talk about: + what she did to guarantee she wouldn’t turn back to her corporate job, even when she didn’t have a plan for her business. + why it’s important to her to normalize spirituality as part of the business planning process. + how she recommends bringing more of your own spirituality and intuition into your business. + how she learned to trust her intuition when making business decisions. + recognizing our triggers and “feeling through” the issue before reacting.

This episode is so good we had to re-air it. Plus, we are going to experiment a little by going back into the archives once in a while and pull out some gems and bring them back to the front of the line. We'd love to know what you think. One of these gems is of course the episode with Catherine Blackmore, GVP of Customer Success at Oracle Marketing Cloud. Three things we learned from Catherine are 1) education is a critical part of customer success. You cannot help customers be successful unless you help them learn. 2) Obviously, education is not all of it. With any software project, people have to change how they work. We have to help our customers through that change. Change management is part of customer success too. 3) There seems to be an endless debate about who should own the customer. Lost in this debate is how and whether sales and service is converging. Some signs say, "Yes." This is also a fun episode because we reminisced about stealing one of Catherine's ideas, which by the way, led to two new customer. Maybe you should steal this idea, too. We hope you like the re-broadcasting idea. Tell us if you do on Twitter using #HelpingSells.  Get on the email list at helpingsells.substack.com

We wanted to kick off the year by hearing from our CEO at Relationship One, Ron Corbisier.

As Senior Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Marketing Cloud, Laura Ipsen is at the center of innovation. She stopped by the Relationship One office, and opened up about how her career path has shaped her role at OMC. Spending her whole career in the high-tech sector, Laura is constantly inspired by change and transformation. It's no surprise then, that her team has some exciting changes coming up. 

"Do you even use your own products?" Jennifer Renaud, CMO of the Oracle Marketing Cloud, gets this question often. While OMC does utilize their own products, Jennifer discovered they may not be leveraging the power and capabilities as much as some of their customers. That's why during a company re-branding project, she and her team started diving into Oracle Content Marketing (OCM) to repurpose forgotten content. By doing so, the OMC team has been able to start designing their content roadmap to focus on more relevant topics for their customers. It may not be easy, but it is long overdue!
