In the May 2026 edition of the PRmoment Podcast, host Ben Smith sits down with new business maestro Andrew Bloch (AAR, PCB Partners) to dissect a shifting UK communications landscape. The overarching theme of the month highlights a widening divide between agencies riding massive waves of momentum and those experiencing localized, procurement-driven hesitation.Before diving into the market data, Ben shares two critical industry diary dates for your radar:AI in PR Masterclass (July 2nd, 2026): Titled The Age of Algorithms, Predictive Analytics, and Risk, this event is a comprehensive guide to navigating future-facing tech.

Ensure your team's best creative work is in the running by submitting over at creativemomentawards.co.Key Themes1. The procurement squeeze and market polarizationAndrew Bloch defines the current climate as one of "cautious optimism" mixed with macro anxiety. Pipelines are active, but growth is unevenly distributed. Agencies with sharp specialisms—particularly in sports, consumer lifestyle, and social—are thriving, while others face gridlocked client sign-offs. Furthermore, clients are heavily relying on procurement to extract maximum commercial impact, shifting expectations entirely away from traditional "column inches."2. The independent "David vs. Goliath" surgeA massive takeaway from May's pitch cycle is the clear dominance of independent agencies over legacy network holding companies. Clients are progressively prioritizing agile storytelling and pure earned media capabilities over sheer corporate scale.3. M&A Strategy: earned media as strategic platform glueWhile private equity (PE) and trade buyers are exercising strict valuation discipline, high-quality independents remain hot targets. Private equity is increasingly viewing standout consumer PR agencies as anchor platforms to bolt on smaller social, data, and AI-enabled services.Major pitch wins & M&A DealsNotable Wins: Words and Pixels scooped the coveted UK/Ireland brief for tech giant Pinterest, beating out legacy networks. Newly launched Joe Public landed Sneak Energy, and The Romans expanded their sports footprint by securing Oakley's global and North American remit. Other wins included Grayling taking the Croatian National Tourist Board and Hope and Glory onboarding Ask Italian.M&A Highlights: Publicis made a massive $2.2 billion bet on tech infrastructure by acquiring data collaboration platform LiveRamp at a 30% premium. Meanwhile, Havas snapped up Paris-based corporate influence firm Format, and Mike Worldwide acquired workplace communications agency Hudson Lake.Quotes from Andrew BlochOn maintaining agency momentum:"In a market like this where budgets could disappear overnight, momentum is really the closest thing you can get to having security... You can't stand still in this market. Standing still is going backwards."On why private equity is hunting for PR firms:"What's really encouraging for the PR space is they're seeing earned media as actually the glue that ties together lots of different bits of the marketing mix."On the resurgence of pure storytelling:"A lot of agencies have almost forgotten the art of storytelling and the art of earned media... Let's not forget how important earned media is. That's where PR is."

The skilled trades are at a crossroads. By some industry estimates, for every five experienced technicians retiring, only two new ones are entering the field—highlighting a growing HVAC talent gap. At the same time, buildings are becoming more complex, more connected, and more dependent on high-performance mechanical systems. The stakes are real: without a new wave of trained, adaptable technicians, the systems that power hospitals, schools, and data centers are at risk.So how do we close the skills gap while preparing young technicians for a faster, more digital future? And what does it take for a field tech to evolve into a leader who can train the next generation?Welcome to Straight Outta Crumpton. In the latest episode, host Greg Crumpton sits down with Phil Manchester, Service Team Lead at AirTight FaciliTech. Together, they explore the realities of modern HVAC careers—from hands-on technical growth to leadership development and the power of self-education.What you'll learn…The widening HVAC talent gap—and why stronger training pipelines matter: With experienced techs retiring faster than new ones are entering the field, companies must accelerate how they develop and support emerging talent.How social media can boost recruiting and awareness: Sharing real field work and lessons learned can spark interest in the trades and influence the people guiding young career decisions.Why leadership now requires emotional intelligence: Technical skill alone isn't enough—today's team leads must communicate well, manage people effectively, and continue growing personally.Phil Manchester is a Service Team Lead at AirTight FaciliTech in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he has grown from Service Technician to field leader over nearly nine years. A graduate of Hudson Valley Community College's two-year HVAC program, he began his career in facilities maintenance before expanding into commercial HVAC service, developing skills in ultrasonic testing, shaft alignment, and complex mechanical systems. Phil continues to build both his technical expertise and leadership capabilities, focusing on mentoring technicians and strengthening team performance in the field.

Why are gas prices still so high — in a country that is awash in GAS?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and long-time energy analyst, about the forces driving fuel prices in Canada.McTeague explains why recent dips at the pump may be temporary, pointing to global oil supply pressures, the war involving Iran, and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. Recent reporting has tied global fuel volatility to escalating tensions around Iran and threats involving the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route.But McTeague also argues that Canada's problem is not only global. He says domestic policy choices — including Trudeau's woke directives, blocked energy infrastructure, and years of Liberal net-zero politics — have weakened the Canadian dollar and reduced Canada's ability to benefit from its own resources.The conversation covers:Why gas prices recently droppedWhy McTeague believes prices could stay higher for longerIran, oil shortages, and global supply disruptionsCanada's missed opportunity on pipelinesThe petro-loonie and the weak Canadian dollarHow government policy affects pump pricesWhether Canada could lower prices by getting energy projects built fasterAs Canadians face escalating costs for gas, groceries, and everyday essentials, this interview asks whether Ottawa is doing enough — or whether Liberal energy policy is making life more expensive Hosted on Acast.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Immigration, Western Civilization, Psychiatric Drugs, and Green Energy Karen Kataline Continues the Alan Nathan Show in Alan's Memory In this episode of The Alan Nathan Show / Alan Nathan All-Stars, host Karen Kataline opens by acknowledging the untimely passing of Alan Nathan and explaining that the show continues in his memory and honor. She notes that she and Alan had often done Mondays together and says it is an honor to help continue the program during this transitional period for the Main Street Radio Network. Throughout the episode, Karen frames the broadcast as part of a new chapter while preserving the spirit, name, and tradition of the Alan Nathan All-Stars. Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first guest is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, identified in the transcript as Mark Krikorian or a similar spelling. They discuss immigration enforcement, libertarian arguments for open immigration, and the tension between open borders and a welfare state. Mark argues that libertarians once aligned more closely with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and the size of government, but now often align with the left on questions of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. He cites Milton Friedman's argument that open immigration and a welfare state cannot coexist and says that while social programs can be tightened, the welfare state is not simply going away. Chicago, ICE, and Local Non-Cooperation The discussion then turns to Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois, which Mark describes as sanctuary jurisdictions. He explains that ICE is not asking local police to conduct immigration checks in the street, but to hold criminal suspects who are already arrested and fingerprinted if they are deportable, so ICE can take custody. He argues that sanctuary policies release deportable offenders back into communities and says this especially harms immigrant neighborhoods. Karen and Mark also criticize Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of interfering with immigration enforcement and downplaying violence in Chicago. Karen Reflects on Alan Nathan and the Show's Transition After the first interview and intervening ad segments, Karen returns to discuss the show's transition after Alan Nathan's death. She encourages listeners to hear the tribute program that aired over the weekend and recalls clips of Alan and his wife Jane from years earlier, describing their on-air chemistry as entertaining, lively, argumentative, and classic talk radio. Karen says it is a sad time for everyone at Main Street Radio Network, but emphasizes that the Alan Nathan Show and Alan Nathan All-Stars tradition will continue. James Hankins on The Golden Thread and Western Civilization Karen then welcomes James Hankins, described as a Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins explains that the “golden thread” is a metaphor for the Western tradition, and that the book aims to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that this history has not been properly taught in schools or universities for decades, leaving people without a shared understanding of democracy, republics, communism, socialism, and the meaning of Western civic life. Communism, Democratic Socialism, and Historical Amnesia Karen connects the discussion to contemporary politics, warning against Marxism, communism, and democratic socialism. Hankins says many people who call themselves democratic socialists do not understand what the term means or how socialism has operated historically. He argues that adding the word “democratic” does not solve the deeper problem, because socialism has not historically favored democracy. Karen and Hankins agree that many public arguments suffer because people no longer share basic definitions or historical knowledge, especially about the distinction between a republic and a democracy. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Drugs and Violence Later, Karen interviews clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, who says he has worked on research and testimony related to psychiatric medications, including SSRI antidepressants and black-box warning labels. Watson says his work involves outcome research on psychotropic medications and forensic cases where people with no history of violence commit violent or self-destructive acts after taking medication. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications may be contributing to violence, especially in the wake of Columbine-era discussions. Watson answers strongly that SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts and behavior and says this is acknowledged in FDA black-box warnings. Akathisia, Political Motives, and Youth Medication Dr. Watson discusses akathisia, describing it as an inner agitation or restlessness that can make people feel as though they want to crawl out of their skin. He says it can occur with SSRIs and is even more common with antipsychotics. Karen asks whether suppression of this information may be about more than money, suggesting possible political motives. Watson agrees that politics can be involved and argues that children in poverty, especially those connected to Medicaid or Medicare systems, are disproportionately medicated at higher doses even when diagnosis and symptom severity are considered. He also references Anatomy of an Epidemic and argues that long-term psychiatric drug use can contribute to disability and general decline. Gender Ideology, Violence Profiles, and Dr. Watson's Cautions Karen and Watson also discuss social contagion, gender ideology, and political violence. Karen asks about the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether the alleged killer was on psychiatric medication. Watson says he has no direct knowledge and is not involved in that investigation, cautioning that too much misinformation is circulating to make a firm claim. However, he says the suspect fits a known profile for certain kinds of shooters and that, statistically, it would not surprise him if psychiatric medication were involved. Karen closes the short segment by inviting Watson back and directing listeners to his work online. Steve Goreham / Gorham on Green Energy and Rising Electricity Prices Karen closes the show with Steve Goreham or Steve Gorham, described as executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. The conversation focuses on rising electricity prices, renewable energy policies, and what Karen calls the “green new scam.” Steve argues that expensive electricity increases are concentrated in blue states that have pursued aggressive green policies, naming California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. He contrasts those with states such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which he says rely more on natural gas or coal and have seen smaller increases. AI, Data Centers, Pipelines, and Energy Reality Steve argues that green-energy policies are running into the reality of rising electricity demand, especially from artificial intelligence and data centers built by companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. He says AI-related electricity demand requires constant 24-hour power and cannot be reliably supported by wind and solar alone. Karen and Steve also discuss the Keystone pipeline, New York pipeline politics, natural gas constraints in New England, offshore wind leverage, and the role of Trump administration energy policy. Steve closes by directing listeners to his book Green Breakdown and website. Closing the New Chapter of the Alan Nathan All-Stars Karen ends the show by saying the Alan Nathan All-Stars are heading into a new chapter, but with Alan Nathan still serving as the program's guiding star. The episode as a whole blends remembrance of Alan with Karen's political and cultural commentary, moving through immigration enforcement, Western civilization, psychiatric drugs, gender ideology, energy policy, and the future of American public debate.

We're over a year into a new government and nobody could possibly argue there hasn't been a significant recalibration in the way Canada thinks about climate policy and environmental regulation.The public policy balance between the environment, pipelines, and project-building has shifted from what it was, say, back in 2018. So has the public's perception, by the way. Recent polling shows that Canadians now prioritize economic growth over environmental protection. All of this is what we'll explore today. From multiple angles. In 3 different individual conversations.First up ... Aaron Wherry, senior writer at the CBC ... to set the table on the issues between Ottawa and Alberta.Then … Rick Smith, President of the Canadian Climate Institute, for his perspective. We talk about emissions reduction, what's happening to the industrial carbon price, the clean energy economy and more.Finally … Andrew Leach, energy and environmental economist and professor at the University of Alberta, to explore the energy sector, particularly oil. The economic impact vs. opportunity cost of pipelines, and the tension between market forces and climate policy. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

A giveaway funnel pulling 100+ emails a week. 300 to 500 comments a post on X. Newsletter readers. Ad clickers who never book. Five different lists, none of them talking to each other. A great setter could go to work on that data and print money — if anyone had organized it.So Jordan brought in Dylan Rich, founder of Systemized Sales. Dylan runs 10 sales teams at once, end to end — name, email, phone number all the way to contract signed and cash collected. In 15 years of sales and seven years working with agencies, this is the most sophisticated GoHighLevel pipeline either of them has seen. They build it live: UTM attribution per post, the "tattoo" rule for tags vs. custom fields, an action-based lead score that pings a setter the second a lead crosses 6 points, a speed-to-lead workflow with 73 million enrollments, and 57 smart lists ranked P1 through P5 so setters never waste a minute guessing who to call.Then Dylan opens up Revphlow — the post-call attribution tool that kills the EOD form forever and tells you your cash per call by traffic source, by closer, by calendar.

Could pipelines, shipping fleets and defence contractors become the market’s next big winners? Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Swapnil Mishra, Author of Investing for the Clueless, Reckless and Overly Cautious, this episode explores how the Trump-Xi meeting, the Xi-Putin summit and rising geopolitical tensions are reshaping investment flows worldwide. Michelle and Swapnil unpack why investors are suddenly paying attention to “old economy” sectors like energy transport, logistics and defence - and how AI infrastructure demand is unexpectedly reviving interest in pipelines and natural gas. They also examine whether shipping disruptions, sanctions risks and a fragmented global order could create long-term winners beyond Big Tech. If geopolitics is becoming a permanent market force, what should retail investors rethink about their portfolios?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a growing tension inside healthcare right now—between the people leaving the workforce and the patients still arriving every day. It's a dynamic that leaders can no longer afford to ignore. The numbers make that clear: the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that the U.S. could be short of as many as 86,000 physicians by 2036, fueled by an aging population and a wave of retirements.So, how do healthcare organizations compete for talent at a time when the workforce is shrinking, expectations are shifting, and technology is rapidly changing how care is delivered?On this episode of I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson sits down with River Meisinger, Regional Vice President of MSP & Strategic Accounts at AMN Healthcare, to unpack the evolving landscape of healthcare recruitment. Together, they explore how systems can build sustainable pipelines for executives, physicians, and the next generation of leaders.Top insights from the talk…Workforce shortages are structural, not temporary, driven by burnout, aging clinicians, and insufficient talent pipelines.AI and data are reshaping workforce planning, but success depends on pairing technology with a human-centered strategy.Gen Z is redefining career expectations, forcing healthcare leaders to rethink mentorship, growth pathways, and workplace culture.River Meisinger is a senior healthcare executive at AMN Healthcare, specializing in enterprise workforce solutions, strategic partnerships, and talent optimization across physician, leadership, and clinical staffing.

The global supply chain supporting U.S. military operations faces persistent cyber threats from adversaries targeting both government systems and the broader industrial base. Speaking at the CyberScape Federal Cybersecurity Summit in April, Defense Logistics Agency CIO Adarryl Roberts said the agency is prioritizing efforts to secure small suppliers while protecting AI-driven decision pipelines. Roberts said DLA's first line of defense in managing third-party risk remains contractual enforcement. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) enables the agency to require prime contractors to ensure subcontractors meet federal cybersecurity standards, he added. As DLA expands its use of artificial intelligence for logistics planning and operational decision-making, securing the data pipelines that feed those models has become a top priority. Roberts pointed to multifactor authentication and the War Department's zero-trust architecture as foundational, enabling DLA to inherit cloud-native protections while layering on departmentwide cybersecurity policies.

The United States is celebrating roughly a decade of transforming the shale revolution into a global LNG export powerhouse. But as geopolitical tensions rise and electricity demand surges from AI and data centers, new questions are emerging about America's long-term energy strategy.In this new Energy Vista episode, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with former Congressman Charles Boustany to discuss the extraordinary transformation of Louisiana and the United States into a dominant force in global energy markets.The conversation explores how the US became a net exporter of oil and gas, whether America's energy abundance strengthens its geopolitical leverage, and how policymakers should think about energy planning in an era of growing power demand, industrial competition, and global instability.The conversation also explores the importance of historical perspective in energy and geopolitics. Charles reflects on his long-standing passion for history and his decision to pursue a PhD in the field.This is an insightful exchange at the intersection of energy, industrial policy, geopolitics, and American competitiveness.

In Season 5, Episode 17 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, we discuss why every growing pest control company needs a properly managed CRM, sales pipeline, and marketing automation system. The episode focuses on how platforms like HighLevel can help pest control companies track leads, automate follow-up, measure marketing performance, and create better accountability across the team.We also talk about one of the biggest challenges with CRMs: getting employees to use the pipeline correctly every day. Bad data leads to bad reports, and bad reports lead to poor marketing decisions. The old saying applies perfectly here: garbage in equals garbage out.If your pest control company is investing in Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, call tracking, AI receptionists, SMS/email follow-up, or outbound sales, then accurate CRM usage is essential. You cannot manage what you do not measure, and you cannot measure what your team does not properly track.This episode is a reminder that your CRM should not just be another software tool. It should become the central system for managing leads, measuring growth, improving follow-up, and making smarter decisions about your marketing dollars.Rhino Pest Control MarketingEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Website: https://rhinopros.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingContact & Find Us

With host Scott Hennen still away in Norway, guest host Greg Steeman (North Dakota District 27 Rep) leads a deep-dive into the state's "checkbook" and the strategic decisions shaping North Dakota's economic landscape. This episode features a heavy-hitting lineup, including Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, Ag Commissioner Doug Goehring, and local GOP Chairman Carter Eisinger. The conversation covers everything from the "historic" property tax relief passed in the last session to the $500 million investment in a natural gas pipeline intended to link western production with eastern demand. We also tackle the "single subject" measure on the upcoming ballot, the resilience of North Dakota's livestock industry, and a listeners' debate on state debt versus the multi-billion dollar Legacy Fund. It's an episode focused on transparency, infrastructure, and why "monetizing the gas" is the key to the state's next decade of growth.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Frederik Meßmer über genau diesen Ansatz. Frederik ist Fractional Sales Leader, systemischer Coach und hat in den letzten zehn Jahren genau diese Methodik in Vertrieben aufgebaut – unter anderem in Healthcare und SaaS. Du lernst, wie du mit cleveren Fragen, einem klaren Gesprächsaufbau und ein bisschen Coaching-Mindset deine Abschlussquote spürbar steigerst. Ohne Druck. Ohne Pitch-Marathon. Ohne Feature-Talk. Was ist systemischer Vertrieb eigentlich? Systemischer Vertrieb kommt – wie der Name vermuten lässt – aus der systemischen Beratung und dem Coaching. Frederik wurde damals in der Unternehmensberatung gemeinsam mit dem ganzen Team zum systemischen Coach ausgebildet. Nicht, um Therapeut zu werden, sondern um Kunden besser zu verstehen. Und um genau das zu verkaufen, was sie wirklich brauchen. Die Grundidee ist einfach: Statt dem Kunden eine Lösung aufzudrücken, ziehst du sie gemeinsam mit ihm aus seiner Welt heraus. Du arbeitest nicht am Kunden, sondern mit ihm. Genau wie im Coaching: Der Coach hat keine fertige Lösung in der Tasche – er stellt die Fragen, die den Klienten zur eigenen Erkenntnis führen. Im Vertrieb funktioniert das genauso. Du verkaufst nicht mehr aktiv. Du machst es dem Kunden möglich, sich selbst zu überzeugen. Das senkt den Verkaufswiderstand massiv – und das Ergebnis sind kürzere Sales Cycles und höhere Abschlussquoten. Frederik nutzt diese Methodik seit über zehn Jahren in seiner vertrieblichen Praxis und schult mittlerweile ganze Teams darin. Problemklau: der häufigste Fehler im Verkaufsgespräch Es gibt einen Klassiker, den ich immer wieder bei Verkäufern beobachte – und ehrlich gesagt: Mir passiert er auch noch. Im Coaching nennt man das „Problemklau". Der Kunde fängt an, sein Problem zu beschreiben – und du springst sofort auf die Lösung. Beispiel: Jemand sagt „Ich habe Probleme abzunehmen". Die typische Antwort? „Iss doch einfach weniger" oder „Mach mehr Sport". Klingt logisch. Ist aber Unsinn. Denn der andere hat sich das schon hundertmal selbst gesagt. Trotzdem hat er es nicht getan. Wenn du mit so einem Standard-Ratschlag kommst, erreichst du ihn nicht. Du erreichst nur dich selbst. Im B2B-Vertrieb ist es genauso. Der Kunde sagt „Wir haben zu wenig qualifizierte Leads". Und der Verkäufer? Schmeißt sofort die Pipeline-Optimierung, das KI-Lead-Scoring und drei Case Studies in den Termin. Falsch. Die richtige Reaktion ist: Du fragst nach. Was hat der Kunde schon probiert? Was hat funktioniert? Was nicht? Wo brennt es wirklich? Erst, wenn du das verstanden hast, darfst du überhaupt anfangen, über deine Lösung zu reden. Vorher pitchst du gegen die Wand. Kläger, Besucher, Kunde: drei Rollen verstehen Im systemischen Verkaufen gibt es eine ganz simple Einordnung deines Gesprächspartners. Frederik beschreibt sie so: Dein Gegenüber befindet sich entweder in der Rolle des Klägers, des Besuchers oder des Kunden. Und je nach Rolle gehst du komplett anders ran. Der Kläger: Beschreibt sein Problem. Er klagt. Er ist frustriert. Hier darfst du auf keinen Fall zu früh mit Lösungen kommen. Lass ihn das Problem ausbreiten. Frag tiefer rein. Erst, wenn der Schmerz wirklich auf dem Tisch liegt, ist er bereit für eine Lösung. Der Besucher: Schaut sich um. Hat noch keinen klaren Auftrag an dich. Wenn du den jetzt mit Demo und Pitch erschlägst, ist er sofort weg. Stattdessen: ihn abholen, mitnehmen, Vertrauen aufbauen. Der Kunde: Hat Bewusstsein für sein Problem. Will aktiv etwas verändern. Hier darfst du gemeinsam an der Lösung arbeiten – aber bitte erst nach sauberer Bedarfsanalyse. Was passiert in der Praxis? Die meisten Verkäufer behandeln jeden Gesprächspartner wie einen Kunden. Pitch ab Minute eins. Demo ab Minute drei. Und wundern sich, warum der Termin nicht in einen Auftrag mündet. Wenn du dagegen die Rolle deines Gegenübers erkennst, kannst du dein Verhalten anpassen – und holst plötzlich Termine ab, die du sonst verloren hättest. Der Gesprächsaufbau im systemischen Vertrieb: 5 Phasen Ein gutes Verkaufsgespräch hat im systemischen Ansatz immer den gleichen Aufbau. Fünf Phasen. In dieser Reihenfolge: Einstieg – Smalltalk und Rahmung. Du kommst an. Der Kunde kommt an. Du klärst, wie ihr arbeitet (Notizen machen, Fragen stellen, Zeitfenster). Zielklärung – Was soll das Gespräch eigentlich bringen? Wann ist es für den Kunden ein Erfolg? Bedarfsanalyse – Was steckt wirklich dahinter? Welche Themen brennen? Was wurde bisher probiert? Lösungssuche – Erst jetzt wird über Lösungen gesprochen. Gemeinsam. Abschluss – Commitment, nächste Schritte, Vertrag. Klingt unspektakulär. Ist es auch. Aber wenn ich mir die meisten Vertriebsgespräche anschaue, springen Leute direkt von Phase 1 in Phase 4. Smalltalk, Pitch, Demo, Angebot. Die zwei wichtigsten Phasen – Zielklärung und Bedarfsanalyse – werden komplett übersprungen. Die Folge: Du verkaufst auf Basis deiner eigenen Annahmen. Nicht auf Basis dessen, was der Kunde wirklich braucht. Und das endet meistens damit, dass der Kunde sagt „Schicken Sie mir mal ein Angebot" – wohlwissend, dass er es nie unterschreiben wird. Er war nur höflich. Offene und geschlossene Fragen: das richtige Werkzeug zur richtigen Zeit Die zwei wichtigsten Fragearten in der Fragetechnik im Vertrieb kennt jeder: offene und geschlossene Fragen. Aber kaum jemand setzt sie bewusst ein. Offene Fragen beginnen mit einem W: Was, wie, wo, wann, weswegen, wer. Sie öffnen den Kunden. Sie laden zum Erzählen ein. Du nutzt sie vor allem in der Bedarfsanalyse, wenn du verstehen willst, was los ist. Beispiel: „Was sind aktuell deine drei größten Herausforderungen im Vertrieb?" Geschlossene Fragen kann man nur mit Ja oder Nein beantworten. Du nutzt sie zum Konkretisieren und vor allem am Ende, wenn du ein Commitment willst. Beispiel: „Wenn ich dir zeige, wie wir das lösen, und Business Case und Zahlen passen – kommen wir dann zusammen?" Frederik bringt noch eine spannende Variante ins Spiel: die Entweder-Oder-Frage. Wird oft bei der Terminvereinbarung benutzt. „Passt es dir besser am Donnerstagnachmittag oder am Mittwochvormittag?" Eigentlich sind das zwei Ja-Antworten – beide Optionen führen zum Termin. Dem Gegenüber bleibt nur das Nein, wenn er aktiv ablehnen will. Wichtig: Warum-Fragen sind im systemischen Ansatz tabu. Warum? Weil sie den Kunden in die Rechtfertigung treiben. Frag stattdessen „Was ist der Hintergrund?" oder „Weswegen?". Inhaltlich das Gleiche – aber öffnender. Der moralische Vorvertrag: dein Frühwarnsystem Eine der mächtigsten Techniken aus dem systemischen Verkaufen ist der moralische Vorvertrag. Funktioniert so: Bevor du in die Lösungspräsentation gehst, holst du dir vom Kunden eine bedingte Zusage. Etwa so: „Wenn ich dir gleich zeige, wie wir dein Problem perfekt lösen, und der Business Case passt – kommen wir dann zusammen?" Was passiert dann? Drei Antworten sind möglich: Ja – Super. Du kannst mit Vollgas in die Lösung. Der Kunde hat sich emotional bereits committet. Nein – Auch super. Denn jetzt weißt du sofort: Da ist noch was. Vielleicht fehlt das Budget. Vielleicht ist er nicht entscheidungsbefugt. Vielleicht laufen schon Verträge mit dem Wettbewerb. Du kannst nachfragen, statt blind zu pitchen. Es kommt: „Schicken Sie mir mal ein Angebot" – Klassiker. Der Kunde will höflich rauskommen. Hier kontert Frederik mit einer brillanten Frage: „Mache ich gerne. Was müsste denn drinstehen, damit du es unterschreibst?" Und plötzlich öffnet sich das Gespräch wieder. Die meisten Pipelines sind voll mit Angeboten, die nie unterschrieben werden. Genau, weil dieser moralische Vorvertrag fehlt. Wenn du ihn konsequent einbaust, wird deine Pipeline schlank und ehrlich. Time kills all deals – und nichts tötet einen Deal schneller als ein unausgesprochenes Nein. Aktives Zuhören und das "Was noch?"-Prinzip Eine offene Frage zu stellen ist die eine Sache. Mit der Antwort umzugehen, eine ganz andere. Die meisten Verkäufer hören die erste Antwort, springen dankbar drauf, weil sie passt – und verkaufen daran vorbei. Frederik bringt eine Coaching-Technik mit, die er „die produktive Faulheit" nennt. Du fragst: „Was sind eure aktuellen Herausforderungen?" Der Kunde antwortet. Und du sagst nur: „Was noch?" Dann nochmal: „Und was noch?" Und dann nochmal. Bis der Kunde wirklich nichts mehr nennt. Klingt banal. Wirkt aber Wunder. Denn die ersten zwei, drei Antworten sind oft nur die Oberfläche. Das wirklich brennende Thema kommt häufig erst beim vierten oder fünften Mal. Und dann hast du den Hebel, an dem deine Lösung ansetzt. Wenn du die volle Liste hast, fasst du zusammen: „Habe ich das richtig verstanden – das, das und das sind eure Themen. Auf welche drei davon sollen wir uns heute fokussieren?" Damit lässt du den Kunden priorisieren. Du steuerst das Gespräch, ohne ihn zu manipulieren. Genau das ist der Kern von systemischem Vertrieb. Das Buying Center hacken: Perspektivwechsel als Zauberwaffe Jetzt kommt der Klassiker, den ich oft höre: „Das funktioniert vielleicht im Einzelgespräch, aber wir haben Buying Center mit fünf Entscheidern. Da hilft dir keine Coaching-Technik." Falsch. Genau dort ist systemischer Vertrieb am stärksten. Denn Coaching arbeitet immer mit Systemen – ein Klient bringt ja auch immer sein Umfeld mit (Familie, Chef, Kollegen, innere Stimmen). Dasselbe Prinzip nutzt du im Buying Center. Frederik beschreibt es so: Du sitzt mit dem Geschäftsführer am Tisch. Der ist begeistert. Aber er sagt: „Sprich mal mit meinem IT-Leiter, der muss das absegnen." Statt zu hoffen, dass der IT-Leiter freundlich ist, holst du ihn mit einer Perspektivwechselfrage in den Raum: „Mal angenommen, dein IT-Leiter hätte heute alles mitgehört, was wir besprochen haben – was, glaubst du, würde er sagen? Wo hätte er Bedenken?" Plötzlich beantwortet dir der Geschäftsführer die Einwände, die du sonst erst in Runde drei zu hören bekommen hättest. Du kannst die Lösung im selben Termin schärfen. Und Frederik geht noch weiter: „Was muss ich mit ihm besprechen, damit er Ja sagt?" Und im besten Fall: „Eigentlich kannst du das doch selbst entscheiden – soll ich dir den Vertrag direkt schicken?" Das verkürzt den Sales Cycle dramatisch. Wo du sonst sechs Runden gedreht hättest, bist du in drei durch. Und du verlierst nicht zwischendurch das Projekt, weil ein Geschäftsführer wechselt oder ein Stakeholder das Unternehmen verlässt. Warum Trainings im systemischen Vertrieb so wichtig sind Hier kommt die unbequeme Wahrheit: Diese Methode liest sich einfach. Sie umzusetzen ist die Hölle. Frederik selbst hat ein halbes Jahr gebraucht, bis er die Zielklärungsfrage „Woran würden Sie erkennen, dass sich der Termin heute für Sie gelohnt hat?" im echten Gespräch flüssig stellen konnte. Vorher stand sie als Spickzettel in seinem Notizbuch. Das heißt für dich: Einmal-Schulungen reichen nicht. Auch das beste Playbook bringt nichts, wenn du es nicht trainierst. Frederik empfiehlt – und ich teile das zu hundert Prozent – wöchentliche Pitch- oder Frage-Trainings im Team. Dein Team wird es zu Beginn hassen. Niemand stellt sich gerne in eine Übungssituation. Aber: Wer es bei den eigenen Kollegen nicht hinbekommt, bekommt es beim Kunden erst recht nicht hin. Und wer denkt „ich mach das beim Kunden besser" – sorry, das stimmt nicht. Du machst es schlechter. Weil der Druck dort höher ist. Mein Tipp: Setzt euch als Team einmal hin und sammelt eure besten Fragen. Pro Gesprächsphase. Dann übt ihr eine Frage pro Woche. Nach einem Quartal habt ihr eine echte Methodik, kein zusammengewürfeltes Bauchgefühl. Wie viel sprichst du eigentlich? Der Gesprächsanteil als KPI Eine schöne und oft unterschätzte Kennziffer ist der Gesprächsanteil im Verkaufsgespräch. Klassische Daumenregel: Der Kunde sollte mehr reden als du. Bei reinen Discovery-Calls liegt der ideale Sweet Spot bei rund 40 % Verkäuferanteil. Frederik arbeitet aktuell mit einem Team, das bei über 60 % Gesprächsanteil liegt. Warum? Viele Demos. Macht in dem Setting kurzzeitig Sinn – langfristig nicht. Sein Ziel: Sie unter 55 % zu drücken. Mit modernen Tools wie Demodesk oder ähnlichen Gesprächs-Recordern kannst du das heute automatisch tracken. Ein digitaler Coach läuft mit, transkribiert, analysiert und gibt dir konkrete Hinweise. Frederik setzt solche Tools selbst aktiv ein – auch in seinen eigenen Mandaten. Das ist deutlich günstiger als ein dauerhaft eingekaufter externer Trainer und liefert messbare Ergebnisse. Quick Takeaways: das Wichtigste auf einen Blick Kein Problemklau – Spring nicht auf Lösungen, bevor du das Problem wirklich verstanden hast. Rolle erkennen – Kläger, Besucher oder Kunde? Pass dein Verhalten an. 5 Phasen – Einstieg, Zielklärung, Bedarfsanalyse, Lösungssuche, Abschluss. In dieser Reihenfolge. Moralischer Vorvertrag – Hol dir die bedingte Zusage, bevor du pitchst. „Was noch?" – Frag drei Mal mehr nach, als du normalerweise würdest. Perspektivwechsel – Hol fehlende Stakeholder virtuell in den Raum. Training schlägt Talent – Wöchentliche Übungen sind nicht optional, sondern Pflicht. Fazit: Vom Pitch-Maschine zum echten Berater Wenn du eine Sache aus dieser Folge mitnimmst, dann diese: Hör auf, deinem Kunden zu sagen, was sein Problem ist. Frag ihn. Systemischer Vertrieb ist keine Geheimwissenschaft – es ist die Disziplin, die Klappe zu halten und stattdessen die richtigen Fragen zu stellen. Der Kunde fühlt sich verstanden. Du baust Vertrauen auf. Und plötzlich verkauft sich deine Lösung fast von selbst – weil der Kunde gemeinsam mit dir den Weg dahin gegangen ist. Kein Druck. Kein Pitch. Kein „Schicken Sie mal ein Angebot, das in der Schublade verschwindet". Wenn du als Vertriebsleiter merkst, dass dein Team zu viel im Feature-Talk hängt und zu wenig fragt: Fang mit einer einfachen Fragenliste pro Gesprächsphase an. Etabliere wöchentliche Übungssessions. Und überleg, ob ein systemisches Coaching-Format euch nicht den entscheidenden Hebel liefert. Wenn du tiefer einsteigen willst: Buch dir ein Strategiegespräch mit mir. Wir schauen gemeinsam, wo dein Vertrieb gerade steht und welche Hebel am schnellsten wirken. Hier geht's zum Termin. FAQ zum systemischen Vertrieb Was ist der Unterschied zwischen systemischem Vertrieb und klassischem Verkauf? Klassischer Verkauf arbeitet mit Pitch und Lösungspräsentation. Systemischer Vertrieb dreht den Spieß um: Du stellst Fragen, hörst aktiv zu und führst den Kunden gemeinsam mit ihm zu seiner eigenen Erkenntnis. Das senkt den Verkaufswiderstand und führt zu nachhaltigeren Abschlüssen, weil der Kunde die Lösung als seine eigene wahrnimmt. Welche Fragetechniken sind im B2B-Vertrieb am wirkungsvollsten? Offene W-Fragen für die Bedarfsanalyse, Skalenfragen zur Priorisierung, hypothetische Fragen für Perspektivwechsel und geschlossene Fragen für den Abschluss. Vermeide Warum-Fragen, weil sie den Kunden in die Rechtfertigung treiben. Nutze stattdessen „Weswegen?" oder „Was ist der Hintergrund?". Funktioniert systemischer Vertrieb auch in komplexen Buying Centern? Ja, gerade dort entfaltet er seine größte Wirkung. Über Perspektivwechselfragen holst du fehlende Stakeholder virtuell in den Raum und kannst Einwände vorwegnehmen. Das verkürzt den Sales Cycle deutlich und reduziert das Risiko, dass dein Deal an einem unerwarteten Entscheider scheitert. Was ist der moralische Vorvertrag im Verkaufsgespräch? Der moralische Vorvertrag ist eine bedingte Zusage des Kunden vor der Lösungspräsentation. Du fragst sinngemäß: „Wenn ich dir zeige, wie wir dein Problem perfekt lösen, und Zahlen passen – kommen wir zusammen?" Das filtert echte Interessenten von höflichen Absagern und hält deine Pipeline sauber. Wie trainiere ich mein Vertriebsteam in systemischem Verkaufen? Einmal-Schulungen reichen nicht. Etabliere wöchentliche Übungssessions im Team, in denen Verkäufer Fragen aneinander durchspielen. Arbeite mit Gesprächsaufzeichnungen und KI-gestützten Coaching-Tools. Erstelle eine Fragenliste pro Gesprächsphase und übe diese systematisch ein. Konsequenz schlägt Genie. Anleitung: Dein erstes Gespräch im systemischen Vertrieb In sechs Schritten zu deinem ersten Gespräch nach der systemischen Methode – sofort umsetzbar. Smalltalk und Rahmung – Komm an, lass den Kunden ankommen. Klär die Spielregeln: Zeitfenster, Notizen, gegebenenfalls digitaler Assistent. Zielklärung – Frag: „Woran würdest du erkennen, dass dieses Gespräch heute ein Erfolg war?" Dann Klappe halten. Bedarfsanalyse mit „Was noch?" – Stell offene Fragen. Frag drei Mal mehr nach, als du dich traust. Lass den Kunden priorisieren. Moralischer Vorvertrag – Hol dir vor der Lösung die bedingte Zusage: „Wenn alles passt, kommen wir zusammen?" Lösung präsentieren – Erst jetzt. Auf Basis dessen, was der Kunde dir gegeben hat. Nicht auf Basis deiner Annahmen. Abschluss mit klaren nächsten Schritten – Wer entscheidet wann? Welche Stakeholder müssen mit? Schick proaktiv die Materialien für die nächste Runde. Was nimmst du mit? Hand aufs Herz: Wo ertappst du dich am häufigsten beim Problemklau? Pitchst du zu früh? Sprichst du zu viel? Schreib mir gerne auf LinkedIn – ich bin gespannt, welche dieser Techniken du diese Woche zuerst ausprobierst. Und wenn dir die Folge weitergeholfen hat, teile sie mit jemandem aus deinem Vertriebsteam. Aktives Zuhören ist eine Mannschaftssportart.

The first generation of data pipelines was built for humans. They moved data. They often broke. Engineers stepped in to fix them. While that world still exists, it now shares the stage with something far more demanding. Today, machines and AI systems are first-class consumers of data. The workload requirements are exploding, rendering the manually tuned, hand-patched pipelines woefully insufficient. Data-driven organizations require a new paradigm, one in which an army of specialized agents are at-the-ready to scale and adapt. Register for this episode of DM Radio to learn about the dawn of Agentic Data Pipelines. Host Eric Kavanagh will be joined by Sami Akbay, founder of Dagen.ai, who will explain why traditional pipelines are failing in the AI era. He'll give a presentation on the architecture of these dynamic pipelines, which employ Super-Agents that orchestrate an array of specialists. Attendees will learn: * Where LLMs fit into production data systems, and where they don't * Why memory + guardrails mark the difference between demos and production * How teams are going from prompt to production in hours, not weeks

This week on the podcast, Peter and Jackie are joined by Stewart Muir, President and CEO of Resource Works, a leading voice in Canada's natural resource sector with a focus on British Columbia. Peter and Jackie open the episode with a discussion of the latest geopolitical developments, including escalating tensions involving Iran and the resulting volatility in oil prices over the weekend, as the Strait of Hormuz opened and then quickly closed. They also review the news of Prime Minister Mark Carney's newly elected majority government, what it could mean for energy policy, and his recent video address, “Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney.” The conversation then shifts to British Columbia, where Stewart provides insight into the province's current political landscape, starting with the controversy surrounding proposed changes to B.C.'s United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and Premier Eby's unexpected decision not to proceed with them. Peter and Jackie also ask Stewart: Will the Major Project Office (MPO) help advance final investment decisions (FIDs) amid ongoing uncertainty around DRIPA? Is the B.C. government's proposed royalty increase hurting the competitiveness of LNG projects and investment? Is there potential for B.C. to weaken its greenhouse gas policies to better align with federal-provincial agreements, including elements of the Alberta–Canada MOU?  What is the current level of support for oil pipeline development in B.C., including among Premier Eby and Indigenous communities, particularly along the northern route?  With B.C. increasingly importing electricity and facing potential supply shortages in the future, what are the options to expand generation capacity?Content referenced in this podcast: YouTube, Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney (April 19, 2026) Power Struggle Podcast with Stewart Muir Financial Post Opinion by Deborah Yedlin: The world has an energy problem and Canada is the solution (April 6, 2026)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

In this Broad Match Show, Danny McMillan and Adam Heist cover two of the most practical AI frontiers for Amazon sellers right now: getting direct API access to your Seller Central data and building a fully automated design workflow from inspiration through to live assets. Adam breaks down how he connected Amazon's SP API and Ads API to an AWS database and wired Claude Code directly to it — giving him real-time, queryable access to years of business data across any metric. No developer required. Danny walks through his 8-step system that takes a seller from a TikTok scroll to a finished, conversion-tested design with brand consistency baked in. Both share hard-won lessons on where AI gets you (the 70–85% mark) and where the human still needs to step in — plus a candid look at what's changing at Seller Sessions Live on May 9th. Key Topics Amazon API data pipeline — SP API + Ads API → AWS database → Claude Code for real-time analysis 8-step AI design workflow — Inspiration capture, memory/photo brain, brand system, mood board, asset generation, build, and quality gate CLI vs MCP — Why CLIs are becoming the cleaner integration path for tools like Google Workspace Seller Sessions Live (May 9th) — New modular format, no sponsors, £5,000 fine system for service providers pitching Health check-in — Adam on fitness goals; Danny on resolving a high ferritin (iron overload) diagnosis Timestamps [00:00] Welcome and introductions [01:10] Adam: Getting Amazon SP API and Ads API access as an individual brand [05:00] Storing API data in AWS and connecting it to Claude Code [07:30] Building custom dashboards and software from your own data [09:00] How to approach it if you're not technical — think first, screenshot issues, let Claude walk you through [12:25] Danny: 8-step AI design workflow overview [13:30] Step 1 — Inspiration capture from TikTok, YouTube, social reels [14:20] Steps 2–3 — Memory/photo brain + design system (52 world-leading brands baked in) [15:30] Steps 4–5 — TLDraw mood board + asset generation (Nano Banana 2, Gemini, Remotion) [17:50] Steps 6–7 — Build stage (React, Tailwind, ShadCN, Netlify deploy) [18:30] Step 8 — Quality gate (216-feature scoring: UX heuristics, typography, psychology) [19:30] Google Stitch + Perplexity demo: full brand system from a product title + screenshot [23:12] Adam: the 70–85% rule and how to think about AI-assisted design cycles [27:35] Danny: Google Workspace CLI for email — running launches under 3,000 contacts [29:26] Health updates — Adam on fitness; Danny on ferritin/iron overload and phlebotomy sessions [35:45] Seller Sessions Live May 9th — format, venue (inside a church), evening networking [41:49] The £5,000 fine system for service providers pitching at the event [43:01] Wrap-up Key Takeaways You can get Amazon API access as an individual brand — no developer credentials needed. SP API goes back 720 days; Ads API covers 60 days. Approval takes 1–2 days. AWS as a data warehouse for Amazon data — pipe the API into AWS, connect Claude Code to it, and query anything: anomalies, stock-outs, week-on-week comparisons, year-over-year trends. The non-technical workflow is: think → verbalize → screenshot issues → let Claude solve — you don't need to understand the infrastructure, just be clear on what you want to achieve. AI gets you to 70–85% fast — bring in your designer or team at stage 4, not stage 0. Cycle times drop from 6 weeks to 1 week. CLIs beat MCPs for tool integrations where available — less token overhead, fewer config issues, more cohesive experience in Claude Code. Google Workspace CLI can replace Mailchimp/Klaviyo for small lists — Gmail allows up to 3,000 sends per day; viable for product brand launches under that threshold. Seller Sessions Live is now sponsor-free and profitable on ticket revenue alone — the event model is shifting away from conference-style sponsorship dependency. Notable Quotes "Getting the actual real-time API data access has been just another level completely." — Adam Heist "The original thought is: I need to get API access and I need to connect that to Claude. That's my thinking. And then you literally just verbalize that and use screenshots as you get stuck." — Adam Heist "AI gets you to the finish line faster across way more dimensions, so instead of doing 600 things in a year, you're doing 2,000." — Adam Heist "We live in a time whereby execution in a way is taken care of by AI.

13. Michael Bernstam explains why the Strait of Hormuz blockade has not caused an oil price spike, citing diverted pipelines in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. He notes China's impending shortfall due to the blockade.

A global oil chokepoint sits at the center of today's biggest market story — and the ripple effects are already showing up in prices, supply chains, and geopolitics.In Episode 183 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, sit down with Rory Johnston, founder of Commodity Context, to break down what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz and why it matters far beyond energy markets. They walk through how oil actually moves around the world, how much supply has come offline, and why restarting production takes months, not days.The conversation reveals the mechanics behind oil pricing, from futures curves to physical barrels, and explains why spot prices have surged even as headline prices lag behind. They also explore how disruptions force tough tradeoffs across global economies, with rising costs hitting some regions far harder than others.If you want to understand what drives oil prices, how supply shocks unfold, and what comes next, this episode connects the dots.Jump to:0:02 Welcome And Guest Introduction2:05 Rory's Path Into Oil Analysis6:09 Strait Of Hormuz Flow Basics10:20 Reroutes, Pipelines, And Shut-Ins20:50 The Double Blockade Explained27:20 Retaliation Risks And LNG Targets29:52 Shortages, Jet Fuel, And Demand Destruction33:20 How Oil Prices Went Negative36:56 Brent, WTI, Dated Brent, Backwardation50:08 Why Oil And Stocks Look Complacent57:22 Where To Follow Rory And ClosingConnect with Ryan:• Ryan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• Sonu on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enConnect with Rory Johnston:• Rory Johnston on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rorysjjohnston/• X: https://x.com/Rory_JohnstonQuestions about the show?

For years, growth has been built around a simple idea. Drive traffic into a funnel, move people through stages, convert, repeat. But that model was built for a different time. A time when brands controlled information and buyers followed predictable paths. That is no longer the reality. Today, people explore, pause, research, ask communities, trust creators, and make decisions on their own terms. They don't move in straight lines. They move in networks. That shift is exactly why funnels and pipelines are no longer enough on their own. In this episode, we break down what changed, where traditional models still work, and where they fall short. More importantly, we introduce a new way to think about growth through Conscious Growth Pathways™. Instead of forcing people through linear systems, this approach focuses on building environments, ecosystems, and connections that people naturally move through. It's about awareness, trust, culture, and community driving momentum. We also unpack a six-phase growth cycle that helps identify where your growth is actually breaking and how to fix it, from investigation and initiation to innovation and introspection. If your marketing feels heavy, inconsistent, or stuck, this will reframe how you think about growth and what it actually takes to win today.

As crude oil production continues to grow in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, more pipeline capacity will be needed. The 590-Mb/d Trans Mountain Expansion in 2024 temporarily provided a period of surplus capacity, but that is shrinking. Today, we go through all the projects in the works.

Our Global Commodities Strategist Martijn Rats discusses how the Strait of Hormuz shutdown has created a deep air pocket that will likely keep markets tighter and prices higher for longer than many expect.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Martijn Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodities Strategist. Today – an update on the global impact on the Strait of Hormuz shutdown.It's Tuesday, March 24th, at 3pm in London.More than three weeks into the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz disruptions, the numbers are striking. Normally, around 35 oil tankers leave the Gulf each day. Today, that number is closer to zero to two. That amounts to a shock. In fact, we estimate this event has disrupted roughly 20 percent of global oil supply – double the scale of the Suez crisis in the 1950s. Now, you might think: can't the system adapt? Can't oil just flow another way? At first, oil kept moving by being stored on ships already inside the Gulf. But that buffer is now full. Floating storage has surged in the area to over 120 million barrels, and new loadings have effectively stopped. Once storage is filled, producers have no choice but to cut output – and that's exactly what we're seeing. About 10 million barrels per day of upstream oil and gas production is now offline. Now once we reach this point, the Hormuz closure becomes a real supply loss. There are some partial workarounds. Pipelines that bypass the Strait. Strategic reserve releases. Possibly, naval escorts at some point to help ships move along. But unfortunately, none of these fully solve the problem. Even after accounting for all these offsets, the market still faces a shortfall of around 10 to 12 million barrels per day. Now, that is more than three times the supply shock markets feared in 2022, when Brent oil prices surged to around $130 a barrel. And beyond crude oil, the supply strain is showing up even more in refined products. Now, how so? By comparison, crude oil is still flexible. One barrel can sometimes be substituted with another. But refined products – like jet fuel or petrochemical feedstocks – are much more specific. They're harder to replace quickly. And we're already seeing acute shortages. Europe relies on imports for about 37 percent of its jet fuel needs, and those flows have now declined sharply. Middle East exports of naphtha, a key input for plastics and chemicals to destinations in Asia, have fallen from about 1.2 million barrels per day to almost zero. And in shipping hubs like Singapore, marine fuel prices have surged dramatically, with some fuels exceeding $250 per barrel. Once fuel shortages hit logistics, the disruption spreads beyond energy to affect the movement of goods across the economy. So where does this leave us? We envision two broad scenarios. First, a reopening. Even if the Strait reopens relatively quickly, say within one to two weeks, the system doesn't just snap back. There's what we call an air pocket in the system – a gap created by delayed shipments, empty inventories, and disrupted supply chains. In that case, oil prices are still likely to stay elevated throughout the second and third quarters, rather than quickly returning to pre-crisis levels which were about $70 per barrel at the time. A second scenario would be a prolonged closure. If the disruption continues, the market shifts from substitution to rationing. And rationing means demand has to fall. Historically, that only happens at much higher prices – typically in the range of $130 to $150 per barrel. Now given all this, we've revised our base case forecasts higher. We now expect Brent oil prices to average around $110 per barrel in the second quarter, easing only slightly to $90 in the third and $80 by the fourth quarter. But it's key to realize that reopening the Strait is not the same as repairing the system. This supply chain shock to the oil market will take time to unwind.Thanks for listening.
