Today, we're talking about everything from comfort zones to comparing yourself to other people. This is your sign to follow your passions
Today I have a great conversation with Patrick Morrissey, whose previous and current experience gives him an insight into how empathy can lead any sales and marketing team to success. In this episode, we talk about how empathy is a success trait in marketing and sales, what role it plays in effective storytelling, and how empathy is required to adapt to your customer's changing needs, as well as how marketers can leverage empathy to more effectively support salespeople. He also shares how to flip the model of selling to one that is more customer-centric, and what executives need to do to strengthen empathy to create more trust and help their teams outperform Key Takeaways:As marketers, we need to transition from “What's my strategy for the customer?” to “What is my customer's strategy and how can I help?”Your job in marketing is to help sales sell. To do that, you need to be in contact with your customers and sales force. Help the customer buy in the way they want to buy, not just in the way you want to sell. Empathy is the bridge to trust. It comes from a place of understanding what a someone is going through, and even if you don't, being genuinely curious to find out.

Alliterative titles, podcast hosting envy, and redefining categories were just some of the things covered with our guest Patrick Morrissey, SVP of the Enterprise Sales & Marketing Cloud at Upland Software. He documents the journey of creating a category in 2019 and how that has evolved into something bigger since Upland Software acquired Altify. Enterprises find it extremely difficult to adapt and develop new categories, and we delve into how Patrick plans to avoid that trap. Patrick is the former host of Revenue Optimization Radio and an incredible speaker on all things Revenue, so you do not want to miss this episode. About Sean's guest: Patrick Morrissey: SVP and General Manager at Upland Software Patrick Morrissey oversees Upland’s Enterprise Sales & Marketing Cloud.

In this special edition of Revenue Optimization Radio, Patrick Morrissey highlights two previous interviews. In this first half, we catch up with Patrick rushing through the airport talking with Ryan Begin from Salesforce - also on the go. We love the portability of podcasts. There's a bit of signal fluctuation between airports, but you'll want to listen carefully to Ryan as he tells us the 8 steps required to hire, build and scale an OEM sales model to deliver revenue. In the second half, Patrick and Jay Shephard discuss Building a Level 3 Strategic Seller – and a strategic sales force. Most tenured salespeople think of themselves as strategic sellers, but do they really have the skills? The real judge and jury is the customer. Are you perceived as a professional seller vs. those you compete with? The harsh reality is that you are compared, whether you like it or not? This segment explores the different levels of sales expertise and what good looks like. The full original interviews are here: Building and Scaling an OEM Sales Organization Building a Level 3 Strategic Seller – and Strategic Sales Force Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Upland Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

Today is a special episode focusing on sales enablement with three experts starting with our host, Patrick Morrissey. In the first half, Patrick interviews Aragon Research CEO Jim Lundy about the increasingly important topic of sales enablement. Lundy tells us about the weaknesses and falsehoods that are unknowingly crippling a large number of B2B firms. One thought that you’ll hear again and again is, “And they don’t even know it.” This program is filled with ways to fix what you don’t know is dragging down company revenue. Original episode is here > In the second half, Doug Landis shares his experience as a veteran of Box, Google, Salesforce, and Oracle and he talks about the misconception around sales enablement, how you get the whole company involved in selling, and why empathy is one of the most powerful tools in the arsenal to build relationships and drive results.

I used to believe that conflicts between sales and marketing were so much trash talk between competing team mates. When confronted with the question of which blade of the scissors is most effective it is obvious that one can’t do the job without the other. Leadership has its responsibilities to minimize conflict within the company for the benefit of the investors and the bottom line. That the issue between sales and marketing has been allowed to fester can only be laid at the doorstep of the company president. If the presidents didn’t get a grounding in sales or marketing early in their careers, they are forever avoiding the nonsense that their sales and marketing managers perpetuate as they point fingers at each other because of failed revenue attainment. In this interview with Patrick Morrissey, General Manager of Overland Altify, we discuss how Patrick has solved this issue to get sales, marketing, and customer service to work together. His approach may surprise you. About Patrick Morrissey Patrick Morrissey is the General Manager at Upland Altify, responsible for all operating aspects of the company. Prior to becoming the GM Patrick was the CMO for Altify. Morrissey is also the host of Revenue Optimization Radio sponsored by Overland Altify.

There's a great scene in Bill Murray's Lost in Translation. Scarlett Johanssen asks him, "Why don't you just get out of here?" "Well first, I have to finish my drink, then I have to pay my bill, then I have to get off this barstool...." How do you bring the data together to meet aggressive revenue targets? There's a lot of focus on sales, there's a lot of focus on how do we make the number. Everyone's in the data-driven business. But the big problem is we are all looking at different data, and there's no translation mechanism, there's no filter, and fundamentally, the biggest issue is we really don't understand what the customer wants. Detangle this issue with Patrick Morrissey and Paul Roberts. Be ready to take notes. ___________________________________________ Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Upland Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

High performing sales starts with the hiring process and comes to life in the on-boarding process. Every sales leader is looking for ways to improve the onboarding process and make their team more productive, more quickly. There is no 3-D printer or factory producing the best sales professionals. You need diversity training, an understanding of our pitch, presentations, products, content, and culture. The biggest challenge Craig sees is the participation by sales leaders. They seem to turn the responsibility over to a different set of folks to get the carefully hired person ready to generate revenue. There is a tension between sales leaders handing off people to be onboarded so they can work with the reps already in place. They just hope they'll get the right outcome in the end. The two need to be in alignment. In this episode, Craig Sawicki, VP of Sales Excellence at Altify, will give his insights and best practice on how to onboard, to certify and turn new hires into active performers more quickly and build for scale. ___________________________________________ Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

Happy 2020 listeners. In this first part of this special highlight episode, Andrew Buckley from Traction on Demand hits on their manager training program and comes back to how they train and build the sales leaders later in the program. In the second half of this show, we hear from Doug Landis from Emergence Capital. He kicks into what successful selling looks like and what you need as well as the role of the revenue team. About our guests: Andrew Buckley is an innovative leader with a proven track-record building outstanding go-to market teams that consistently exceed corporate targets. My core belief is that the role of a leader is to drive a culture of success through accountability and the creation of an environment that gets the best out of every member of the team. Over the last 13 years, Emcap has invested in some of the biggest and brightest SaaS companies on the planet. During this time the team has gathered remarkable insights into the critical steps necessary to build a multi-billion dollar business.

Patrick has been noticing trends as he's been traveling in the US and Europe and meeting with sales teams. He says it's promising - especially in big complex B2B organizations. They are over-indexing and planning for better, faster, and more in 2020. His guest for this discussion is OC Talk Radio producer, Paul Roberts. He steps out of his announcer role to dive into this topic with Patrick. Here are the questions Patrick and Paul tackled. You'll have to listen to the episode for the in-depth answers. 1. How do I know I'm getting any value from what I'm already doing? More deals or better deals. 2. How do I improve investments in my account based market strategy? How do we expand our share? The reality of the subscription economy is that the renewal is as important, if not more important than the new sale. If you're not paying close attention, you are missing the upsell and could be jeopardizing an account through leakage from the bottom of the bucket. 3. Everybody wants to remove friction and eliminate busywork. How do I make a more sucky experience for my sales reps to get in front of our customers? Not really, it's all about getting the process and the playbooks and get the content into SalesForce. Embed the details for them so the reps don't spend their time looking for the right pieces to include. Do it for them. Let them develop the leads, nurture the relationships and close the deal. 4. How do I find bigger deals? How do I expand my revenue team? Bring executive leadership, CSM, Marketing into this plan. How do I develop my team and grow the next level of sales leaders? This leads to personal development questions: How can I be more of an active listener and not an active talker? What is the business priority for the organization next year and how can I help? This is about active listening. This is a game-changer. 5. Beware the tyranny of short-term thinking. What's our emphasis going to be this year - not the flavor of the month? Talking about in 3-5 year timeframes. Reps and teams need to understand this is not optional. ___________________________________________ Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

In this special episode, two of Patrick's previous guests are highlights on the same topic of ABM – It’s a strategy, not a tool or tactic. The first half features Nipul Chokshi and after the break we'll hear from Paul Ross. We hope you enjoy this episode. Some points covered include Nipul stating that ultimately, "account-based marketing and B2B marketing are going to be synonymous at some point, because the idea behind account-based marketing is all about, number one, getting aligned with sales around what target accounts you want to go after, and then engaging those target accounts in an omnichannel way using very personalized messaging. Then third, just being able to kind of measure the impact. Not measure the impact in terms of volume of leads but in terms of pipeline generated within your target accounts." Paul Ross gave his positioning on ABM as well including, "I think a big part of this challenge is, is how much of these platforms and technologies really rely upon you having the right data, and the data at scale? Being a technology marketer, you want to get to the right people at the right time. But at the same time, we're facing equally the reality that most of these systems are really only focused on or suitable for large-scale audiences." Tune in to hear both of these highlights.

We had the opportunity to interview The Faim at SOMA San Diego!"For The Faim, an album is not only about showing what you can do now, but what you want to do in the future. The Perth four-piece went into the making of State of Mind, the band’s debut full-length, with the goal of expanding their range and getting out of their comfort zone. Over the course of two years, the musicians worked with numerous songwriters and producers to craft a collection of songs that showcase a vast range of styles and tones.“We wanted to the show the variety of skills between the four of us,” says Stephen. “But we also want to write and record the music we want to hear. We asked ourselves, ‘What is missing? What do we want to be hearing?’ And then we decided, ‘Why don’t we just write that?’”“We wanted to stick true to our roots and where we came from, which is essentially just us being able to explore the passion and love we have for music,” Josh adds. “But we also wanted to experiment and to have fun with the songs.”The Faim (French for “the hunger”) have been building to this moment since they performed their first show at Stephen’s 18th birthday party, then known as Small Town Heroes. Josh and Stephen grew up together, playing together on various sports teams, and began writing music together after an assignment in Stephen’s music class. Soon the musicians were penning their own songs, inspired by bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and Metallica, and each brought in an array of musical influences, from indie rock to jazz to pop-punk. Sam and Linden, who met working at The Hen House Rehearsal Studios in Perth, rounded out the band’s lineup after they changed their name to The Faim.For several years, The Faim hustled to build a following in Perth, regularly handing out flyers and posters outside Perth Arena and recording 30-second covers of their favorite tracks to post online. That motivation was important in the isolated community’s small music scene, and the band was dedicated and willing to sacrifice everything to follow their dream. That hard work paid off when the band got the attention of producer John Feldmann in the summer of 2016. They noticed that Feldmann had posted a call on Instagram for unsigned bands with touring experience, and although The Faim had no real touring experience, they messaged him anyway. The producer wrote back a few weeks later and everything instantly went from zero to a hundred.The musicians brought 30 half-written ideas to Feldmann’s studio in Los Angeles the following year, where they enlisted the help of several co-writers, including Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots) and Ashton Irwin (5 Seconds of Summer). Their debut EP, Summer Is a Curse, dropped in the fall of 2018, hinting at the potential for a full-length album. The title track, “Summer Is A Curse,” an anthemic song the band wrote with Irwin about realizing that you have to follow your dreams even if it requires a sacrifice, became an immediate hit, with over 15 million streams worldwide to date.The songs on State of Mind encapsulate nearly four years, ranging from an old favorite called “Infamous” to “Summer Is a Curse” to a brand new track “Humans,” the first single off the album. The songs, recorded mostly in Los Angeles in various studios with a collection of different producers, reveal how The Faim has evolved since their inception. Co-created with Patrick Morrissey and David Dahlquist while the band was writing songs in New York, “Humans” is an epic rock anthem with a massive, resonant chorus that reflects on how connected we all actually are. “Tongue Tied,” produced by Drew Fulk, takes the band even further out of their comfort zone, as does “State of Mind,” which was created with the purpose of testing new waters.“We wanted to shake up our mindset and our way of doing things,” Stephen says. “For ‘State of Mind,’ I picked a chord I never play and that’s how the song starts. That song was originally five or six minutes long and it comes from the idea of doing something we’ve never done before. We wanted to go to a place we’d never gone to. Sometimes you have to do the complete opposite of what you think you should do to make sure that’s very much yourself. It came together really well.”Overall, the songs contain a variety of influences. The musicians looked both to artists they grew up with like Red Hot Chili Peppers to newer bands like The 1975. The lyrics come from emotions or experiences personal to the band members as a whole, with each song centering on an idea that’s relatable to both themselves and their listeners.“We write from an honest place,” explains Josh. “That’s something we always want to stay true to. If you write songs that are real, people will be able to connect to them, especially during the live performances. It has to resonate with us for it be relatable to our fans as well. On this album it was about connecting with ourselves and explore our influences and our own talent. If we stick to who we are and what we feel hopefully everyone else will find something in the music too.”Over the past year, The Faim has built up a strong following around the world, from Australia to Europe to the States. They’ve performed at Download Festival, Slam Dunk, and Reading & Leeds, and toured with PVRIS, Against the Current, Sleeping With Sirens, and Andy Black. In 2018, The Faim performed 100 shows across three continents and 13 countries, while in 2019 the band embarked on their first headlining tour, selling out shows in cities like London, Sydney, Amsterdam and Hamburg. “Summer Is A Curse” has become a bona fide hit Germany, hitting No. 12 on the airplay charts after being played 24,000 times on German radio in 2018. The track, which appears in a Jeep commercial in France, hit No. 2 at radio in the Czech Republic. The band also scored the soundtrack to Coca-Cola's global advertising campaign for Coke Zero, which was shown in 18 countries worldwide. Overall, The Faim have racked up over 26 million streams globally – and that’s just the beginning.State of Mind reveals a band on the rise, a group of musicians who are all about making genuine songs that bring people together and create a community.“You’ll never get anything fake from us,” Stephen says. “Our hearts and souls are on our sleeves 100 percent of the time. We want to keep things true to how we started. We do this because we love music and we want to play music and that’s it. There are no ulterior motives. The goal is to play music and that will be the goal for our entire career.”Josh Raven – Lead VocalsStephen Beerkens – Bass/KeyboardSamuel Tye – GuitarLinden Marissen – Drumshttp://thefaim.com/https://www.bringinitbackwards.com/Tera@BringinitBackwards.comCREDITS:Theme Song: Scott RussoDesign: Oscar RodriguezPhoto: Michelle Grace Hunder

Host Patrick Morrissey, fresh off of the Sales Enablement Seismic Shift Conference in San Diego, discusses in his monologue the dynamics heard at the event about content strategy creation and management. There were a large number of sales leaders at the conference trying to understand the mechanics' sales enablement and of telling a story with formal content so that salespeople are successful. Content is now being thought of as core to an integrated sales and revenue process. Pat’s thoughts cover: The intersection between sales, marketing, sales enablement, and content. How to activate the revenue team with the right information that’s going to help them tell compelling stories that drive revenue. Is there content fatigue? Are people being over-run by content? Why there is a growing need for content to move the revenue needle. How to develop content and assets to feed the sales team! More content is not better content! How content plays into the importance and discipline around process and regulation in many regulated industries. How the rise of content marketing is a department function, not a junior marketing person’s task. Why there has to be a diagnosis of who is using what content and when are they using it. ___________________________________________ Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

Patrick Morrissey, General Manager of Altify, and host of Revenue Optimization Radio tackles why and how B2B companies need an account planning program. Morrissey quotes a McKinsey & Company five-year study that looked at annual growth rates and total return to shareholders for those that take a digital approach to account planning. They found that growth and return are double than those firms that don’t do it. It is a full 100 increase in shareholder return when a company does account planning. In this podcast Morrissey talks about: What does “good look like” in customer relationships? How to create an actionable account management program What does an organization DO about account planning? Why is account planning a little like having a gym membership? Answer: You know you want to exercise, but you never seem to get around to it as much as you’d like. Why is it that account planning is disconnected from what sales reps or revenue teams are doing on a day to day basis? Why isn’t account planning attached to specific metrics and measurements? Why is there no cadence in an organization to drive customer satisfaction? How account planning delivers increased customer satisfaction If account planning is something you are avoiding but want to do, listen to Patrick Morrissey as he lights a fire under your conscience. ___________________________________________ Revenue Optimization Radio is hosted by Patrick Morrissey of Altify which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.

Altify Research Stated, "If the salesperson is a Woman you will see a 10% Greater Win Rate" which led the host Patrick Morrissey to discuss how to recruit and hire top women in sales. Morrissey smiled when he read Altify’s recent research, The Customer Revenue Optimization Benchmark Study 2019, which found that all things being equal, you can generate a 10% greater win rate if the salesperson is a woman. And research is coming in from many directions with the same message. To discuss this topic, host Patrick Morrissey interviews Tracy Eiler from Inside View about what it takes to attract and retain women in revenue. Top players that increase revenue are in demand. Recruiting top revenue creators is taking on a new urgency as companies realize there is competition for talent and those that know how to recruit win over those that don’t know it is a skill. Patrick, therefore, suggests that companies should be hiring women if they want an increase in sales. Specifically, many companies have found that women in revenue creation and management often are judged to be especially prized as a recent report from CSO Insights - 2018-2019 SALES PERFORMANCE STUDY specifically points out. This is an annual survey of nearly 900 B2B companies that says women in revenue are especially sought and valued. Visit Women In Revenue's site.

I asked Patrick Morrissey, "What are some of the keys you find to building really high performance marketing teams that can deliver results?" He said... "It's an interesting question because I think everybody comes to the notion of team a little bit differently. But I would say, particularly in marketing that, marketing is fundamentally a team sport. And not just on your team, but the extension of marketing into sales. So, there's a few different things I would call out in terms of focus on teams that I have found to be successful over time." ----more---- "One is as a general rule when you're trying to put together a team, I would have a strong bias for athletes versus experts. Because, the pace of change across every business and across every market is so quick now, that there are a lot of people who may be an expert in a particular sub-discipline, who can't transfer those skills and can't help other members of the team. So one, I'd look for athletes not experts and people who can really work to solve the problem." "The second thing, when you're thinking about marketing is really having an understanding and a focus on learning to try to understand the customer in the market. And a lot of that comes out of my heritage in product marketing, but also I think there's a lot of bias that people, particularly on the sales sides of this discussion have, that marketing does a lot of hand waving, doesn't really actually understand what's going on. And so you need people across the entirety of the team to really be focused on, not just the mission of the company and trying to produce a result, but really understanding the customer in the market." "And then the third thing I would say... specifically that helps inform teams, is look for people who have sales DNA. Because more often than not, the ... Having lived the life of somebody in sales and you had a great example, Elissa Fink was on with you a couple weeks ago from Tableau. She is a great example that proves the pieces in my mind, which is people who started early in their career or who have had experience in selling, have a lot more empathy for the realities of what it takes to generate an opportunity to get a deal done. But, also what results look like as measured by revenue, and I think all those things are important." Listen in to hear more!
