Product. Sales. Marketing. Customer Success. If you want to grow your business, your entire go-to-market team has to be in perfect alignment. Providing a seamless experience makes such a huge difference to customers, but it's often hard to achieve. Luckily, you'll get plenty of ideas and inspiration in this Encore Episode on the Sales Talk for CEOs podcast.My guest for this interview is Pouyan Salehi, CEO of Scratchpad, a workspace designed specifically for sales and revenue teams. Scratchpad has a unique bottom-up sales model where—on the one hand—the end-users of the software (sales reps) are not the buyers, but—on the other hand—the end-user experience is instrumental in getting sales conversations with decision-makers at large companies. A fully aligned go-to-market team is crucial to success, and, in this interview, Pouyan shares how he achieves it.As Pouyan explains, aligning your go-to-market team has nothing to do with tools and processes. Instead, you have to start with mindset, prioritizing ‘delight' and ‘experience.' “We're a software company, and we build a product, and people buy the product. But that's just one component,” says Pouyan. “What we're essentially doing for every user interaction that we have is we're giving them an experience. We're delivering an experience, and that experience should be one of delight.”This mindset drives sales and customer experience at Scratchpad and has brought the entire go-to-market team together into one cohesive unit. Scratchpad has established a base of raving fans that any CEO would envy! Listen in to hear how Pouyan has done it, so you can apply the strategies to your business too.Highlights[2:25] Designing a space for sales team efficiency[7:24] Understanding diversity in sales reps[9:26] Balancing structure and individual flexibility[13:45] Selling your idea and testing your value proposition[20:25] Designing a complex go-to-market motion[29:40] Building a fully aligned go-to-market team[35:19] Creating raving fansAbout Our GuestPouyan Salehi is co-founder and CEO of Scratchpad, the pioneer of the Revenue Team Workspace.

He holds a BFA in Illustration from LCAD and teaches courses within the Graphic Design and Illustration departments, including Professional Practices and Adobe Illustrator. Daniel is an active member of AIGA.   Here's what we covered on the episode:   Daniels Young Start to Art + Building Relationships Daniel shares a childhood story of how his friend showed him that experimenting is what art is all about, which made him rethink his creative process  How Daniel's father owned a screen printing shop where he learned how to make t-shirts at a young age  Daniel graduated from college with his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration, but as he started working, he got more graphic design work  In 2008, during the economic crash, Daniel had all his clients disappear, but at the time coached water polo and decided to make it the best-looking team as a case study The first extensive branding project Daniel did was for his water polo team, which helped them expand from 10 to 175 athletes  The story of how Daniel helped one of his past water polo athletes build his brand from the ground up  Helping people is part of Daniel's core values, and he says that Dyno Creative shares that - they're here to solve problems, build partnerships and help people grow into their greatest self  Daniel likes to start building relationships by asking people how he can help them; In the business, that equates to asking someone what their biggest pain point is  Instead of trying to sell yourself and your services, Daniel says it's more valuable to ask people what they are struggling with and what's challenging them  If you make friends, Daniel says, then there is bound to be someone who wants to help and support you in the same way you want to help and support them  Why it's important to get connected with people who are outside of your circle and industry to find out how they got where they are  As creatives, we struggle to apply our skills to ourselves   Daniel and I both talk about what we want to achieve in our businesses moving forward Getting Projects You Want Daniel and his team created a bunch of mock projects that they have on their website to show off the type of work they want to be doing At Dyno Creative, they do a lot of cold outreach, and Daniel shares how it works for them   Daniel explains it's important that if they aren't the expert in what a client is asking for, they connect them with someone they know who is an expert How Daniel and his team can send 1,000 cold emails each month through PersistIQ that helps with generating an email list of people who might need their services   Social media is like a billboard; Daniel asks how many times you have driven past a billboard and called the number on it - it's great for awareness, which is how Daniel uses it, but he likes other strategies like email and building genuine relationships best  In emails, Daniel likes to include results they've had for other clients and a clear CTA (call to action) so people can see how they could help them solve their problems too  Daniel shares the details of working on the artwork for the Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive film On streaming platforms, you might notice different key art pieces for different shows because they are testing which ones get the most clicks - this is how Daniel's illustration ended up being used for Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive   No matter what you're trying to improve in your business, it won't work unless you have a clear core message - the easiest way to find this, Daniel says, is to take away your product and see what your brand would be  Check out the Dyno Creative website and connect with them on Instagram, Dribble, or Pinterest    Links mentioned: Dyno Creative Website Dyno Creative on Instagram Dyno Creative on Dribble Dyno Creative on Pinterest    Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.
