In this episode of The Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin sits down with Jonathan Harari, Managing Director and Global Head of Investor Solutions at Crescent Capital Group. The discussion offers an in-depth look into the sales philosophy and strategic approach behind Crescent's success in institutional investment sales.Harari begins by sharing his background, from growing up in Paris to studying in the U.S. at NYU and Wharton. His career has spanned roles at PIMCO and Blackstone before he took on his current leadership position at Crescent. Throughout the conversation, Harari emphasizes his commitment to the word "sales," rather than dressing it up as business development, explaining that successful sales teams embrace the challenge of uncovering new opportunities.A key theme of the episode is the importance of focusing on "new names"—finding and building relationships with potential clients that the firm has never engaged with before. Harari shares how he instills this mindset in his team, setting up CRM alerts and tracking new contacts in real time to ensure constant outreach and pipeline growth. He and Costin discuss the fundamental role of cold outreach in sales, a strategy both believe to be the backbone of a thriving business.Harari also offers insights into team structure, sales strategy, and leadership principles. His team is divided into three core functions—client service, business development, and product management—working in tandem to provide a seamless client experience. He believes in treating regional sales leaders as CEOs of their respective territories, empowering them to take full ownership of their success. Transparency is a major pillar of his management style, ensuring that everyone on the team is aware of each other's activities and progress.Costin and Harari dive into leadership philosophies, emphasizing availability, urgency, and focus. Harari makes it a priority to be present and accessible to his team, believing that being in the trenches with them is crucial to fostering a high-performance culture. He highlights the importance of culture in retaining top talent, arguing that while compensation is critical, the daily work environment and career development opportunities are just as important.The conversation also touches on innovation in asset management, with Harari warning that firms that fail to adapt to changing market demands risk irrelevance. He stresses that constant evolution, whether through new product structures or sales techniques, is necessary for long-term success.The episode closes with advice for young professionals entering the industry—read extensively, observe experienced colleagues, and develop a unique voice. Harari underscores that knowledge and confidence are key differentiators in making a lasting impression.Overall, this episode is a masterclass in sales leadership, offering valuable lessons on building a high-performing sales team, fostering a winning culture, and maintaining a relentless focus on growth and innovation.

As trade wars intensify, inflation persists and geopolitical risks spread, Pimco is finding value in the debt of large US banks and leisure-sector companies. “There are some really strong spots within lodging, cruise lines and the like,” said Sonali Pier, who focuses on multi-sector credit opportunities and is a senior member of the $2 trillion asset manager’s leveraged finance team. Pimco is meanwhile cautious on retail and autos, especially in Europe, Pier tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Jody Lurie, in the latest Credit Edge podcast. Pier and Lurie also discuss private debt relative value, asset-based finance opportunities and how to navigate creditor conflict when borrowers fall into distress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Occhi puntati sulle banche centrali, a poche ore dalla riunione del consiglio direttivo della Bce e all'indomani delle decisioni della Federal Reserve, che ha lasciato invariati i tassi di interesse tra il 4,25% e il 4,50%. Una decisione presa all'unanimità che può sembrare una risposta alle pressioni del nuovo presidente Donald Trump, che chiede tassi più bassi. I radicali cambiamenti configurati dalle politiche proposte con il cambio ai vertici di governo negli Stati Uniti ampliano lo spettro dei possibili esiti di crescita. Sono aumentati sia il rischio di inflazione negli Stati Uniti che il rischio di recessione in molte altre economie. Ne parliamo con Adriano Nelli, Responsabile per l’Italia di PIMCO.

Do you ever over order? This year, as is the case every year we were bursting at the seams with guests and talent here at Fiftyfaces Productions and were delighted to produce a bonus series featuring 8 inspiring guests at the end of 2024. We hope you can take some time over the break to listen back to some big themes – neurodivergence and the workforce, system change, moonshots and deep dives - all delivered in bite size chunks. From an asset management president who started out in fashion and used that to put the client at the heart to a stewardship expert who pursued his moon shot, each story is unique and fascinating. We hear from the CEO of the NZ Super Fund about the philosophy that guided him towards a total portfolio approach at the 77 Billion NZ fund and an expert on system change on the challenge and opportunity that it presents. We speak with an economist who translates the volatility of markets into a professional context and an investment consultant who defied expectations to forge a stellar career despite losing his site at the age of 7. Returning to the theme of neurodivergence in the workforce we speak with the founder of a new website for neurodivergent individuals and we end with the compelling tale of an allocator who learned how to spot talented investors and is using her position now to fuel their growth.The Bonus series features: Lindsey Stewart, Raudline Etienne, Matt Whineray, Carol Geremia, Steve Foresti, Frank Dixon and Tiffany Wilding as well as special guest Veena Aiyer.  So take some time to listen back to our 58 podcasts of 2024, send us your comments, feedback and ideas for new guests, and if you can, please support us on Patreon.  Thank you to Apollo, Resolute Investment Management, Alvine Capital, PIMCO, GCM Grosvenor, Nuveen, JP Morgan Chase, Ninety One, Eagle Point, Ruffer, With Intelligence, Longview Productions and all of our supporters over the course of 2024
