April Dunford is a world-renowned expert in product positioning who wrote the bestselling "Obviously Awesome" to help us all nail our product positioning. She then realised that companies were having trouble translating this positioning into a sales pitch that worked in the field, so she's back now with "Sales Pitch", a step-by-step process to craft a winning pitch. We spoke about the story behind the book and some of the themes within it. Episode highlights: 1. All companies have a sales pitch, but most people don't seem to know where it came from There hasn't been a standard sales pitch approach since forever and, most of the time, it seems that companies just hand the same document down from sales rep to sales rep without ever really considering what it says, or even who owns it. But, there's a method to create one that wins. 2. The sales pitch should be grounded in your positioning It's really important to move beyond just a big list of features with some marketing slides at the front and back, and have a sales deck that tells a story about your differentiated value, your view on the market, and why you are uniquely positioned to solve the problems that market has. 3. Your product demo should be done upfront, but not all features are equal so you don't need to demo them all You need to organise your product demos around your differentiated value and take prospects on a journey rather than clicking through every single button and tab in the product. You need to show them why the features you have matter, not just that you have them. 4. You need to call out your competitors because your customers are already thinking about them It's natural to want to talk about yourself, and not mention your competitors at all. But, if you don't position yourself against your competitors then you allow your competitors to position themselves against you. Prospects want help navigating alternatives, and that means not just concentrating on yourself. 5. There are always potential objections to your sales pitch, so get in front of these objections Again, it's natural to try to avoid calling out perceived weaknesses in your product, but good salespeople already handle these in the field. It's worth getting ahead of these objections so you can answer them upfront because prospects aren't always going to mention them explicitly. Buy "Sales Pitch" "World-renowned product positioning and marketing expert April Dunford knows that standing out in a crowded market is the key to getting sales. In Sales Pitch, she shows entrepreneurs, salespeople, marketers, and business leaders how they can achieve success by building a narrative that clearly communicates how your product is different and better than anything else on the market. Using a simple step-by-step method and compelling case stories, the author of Obviously Awesome guides you through a solid sales pitch structure that helps customers make confident buying decisions, while positioning you to clearly win in the market." Check it out on Amazon. Buy "Obviously Awesome" "You know your product is awesome — but does anybody else? Forget everything you thought you knew about positioning. Successfully connecting your product with consumers isn't a matter of following trends, comparing yourself to the competition or trying to attract the widest customer base. So what is it? April Dunford, positioning guru and tech exec, will enlighten you." Check it out on Amazon. Contact April You can catch up with April on LinkedIn.

Yoav Vilner was building one of the world's first tech marketing companies in his 20's, and he noticed something funny. His hundreds of clients poured truckloads of money to reach their targets. “But when the prospects actually moved on to see what the product is about,” Yoav says, “often stuff broke… like 90% of them failed.” Years after, he finally cracked it. Walnut.io was born and began to define a new category in tech. On this edition of UpTech Report, Yoav tells us how Walnut creates codeless and customized demos that never crash and are easy for sales teams to share with prospects and marketing teams to embed in materials.
Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur Travis Chambers. Travis is the founder of Chamber Media, a firm that takes companies from being product and service sellers to brand builders by doing what he calls story selling through creating scalable social video ads that drive millions in sales. Travis led distribution and content strategy for “YouTube’s #1 Ad of the Decade,” Kobe vs. Messi which amassed over 140 million views. He’s worked with some of the biggest brands in the world including Yahoo, Kraft, Old Navy, Coca-Cola and has been featured in AdWeek, Forbes, HuffPost, and Inc. Magazine. Travis regularly speaks at conferences such as INBOUND, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Google Growth Summit, VidCon, and VidSummit among many others. But, what I love most is that Travis built his business to suit his lifestyle. It was goal from the start. And I’ve asked him to come on share how to do it. www.Chamber.media Everything started when Travis was a kid with 8 mm cameras. He got into the film industry and in his early 20’s had his first kid, his dad got Parkinson’s disease…and cancer…and divorced after working 70 hours per week his whole life. Everything hit him at once. He was working at 20th Century Fox in his dream job making commercials for the movies. Entrepreneurship had never crossed his mind. His “mid-life crisis” hit when he was 23 years old and made him ask what he really wanted to be doing with his life. He realized there was so much more out there, so he left and started Chamber Media to live life on his terms. What are those terms for you, your ideal lifestyle? Autonomy and flexibility Time with family (his was missing the early years with his kids) Work needs to be means to an end Find something you don’t hate that you are good at, that makes you the money for your lifestyle. This is one of the reasons his company has a 4-day workweek for all employees. He could not get this from a job, so he created it and helped others get it. Where does someone start? What do they need to consider to build a lifestyle business? You cannot go and compete in a mature market – it is a race to the bottom. Zero to One by Peter Thiel had a big influence on Travis. You should never start a business that cannot be a monopoly. It needs to be so unique and so much its own thing that it can’t be easily replicated – you may get competition, but they can’t do it exactly like you or get the results you can get. Find your “blue ocean” “Start with a service first. You can always sell yourself as an entrepreneur. And if you can sell yourself to one person, you can sell yourself to 100 and have a successful business.” Get good at your primary niche before branching out. Tell us about what you do and your principles you used to build and now run your business… In the Art of War, one of the main rules is to choose the battlefield. Too often people see a market leader and think they can do it. At that point, it’s too late. Once there is market leader in a mature market, the game is over. You’ve got to choose the pond that is growing into the ocean. The niche Travis found was video ads and buying them doing them before Facebook ads, etc. had even come about. Knowledge does not equate to wisdom. You have to understand industry in and out and use the wisdom gained to see the future. You cannot get good at anything until you say no to almost everything. The values of having a lifestyle business, staying boutique, etc. were extremely important and governed how they operated. Starting out they would only take on projects of $100k in above and would turn down ones below that. 5-6 years in, Travis and the team noticed that they really had a strong leadership layer and had replicated themselves and could now really scale. What have you put in place to allow the business to scale and let you step away? People and process. A lot of things broke as the company grew and their processes got seriously challenged and had to be worked through and improved over and over. Hiring people with the same values, hopes and dreams, and direction that the team has. They also have to believe what Travis and the team believe. Things like making a little less to have a 4-day workweek, etc. What is the most important lesson you’ve learned on your journey so far? The art of doing nothing. Being too aggressive can be the wrong route and Travis is prone to it. Surrounding himself with a leadership team that balances him ad helps bring logic as a group. Most problems don’t have to be solved “today.” Emotion kills. What is a “Story Seller?” A lot of the Fortune 500 focus heavily on building brand and making people feel a certain way about. When you are a small brand, you cannot play the same game as someone with a 100-million-dollar marketing budget. When you are small the best way to go is direct response marketing. It’s the only way to grow. Over the last 30 years, direct marketing has been primarily infomercials and direct mail. You can’t do that with digital or social as people have too much choice. They scroll quick through the newsfeed. At the 34 min mark, Travis talks about developing the “Everything Ad” and how they did it and the results of it. It is best to just listen. What makes a #1 video ad? What are the components that go into it to drive engagement and sales? 7 Ad categories perform best and vary by industry. Category 1: Spokesperson Video. It’s the highest performing. Only 2% of the top 1% of ads are spokesperson which offers a lot of opportunity. Category 2: Product Demo. 50% of the ads are product demos. Category 3: Social Proof. Press reviews, consumer reviews, ratings, etc. Anything to prove the solution is good. Category 4: Dynamic Ads. Creative that is made based on what the person has seen. Category 5: Case Studies. Any kind of empirical evidence that appeals to logic. Before and after, side by sides, scientific, etc. Category 6: Lifestyle. Showing what could be or feel like if someone had the solution. Category 7: Unboxing. Think Christmas morning and opening the surprise, etc. What Travis and his team found by chance is that most of the successful ads that they have done have all 7 of these in them in some way and you should strive to do so in yours. The Everything Ad ideal length is 90 seconds. Hook, Teaser, Problem, Solution, Another Problem, solution while weaving in all the categories (Spokesperson, social proof, unboxing, etc.) Anything else around marketing with video we should know? Pay attention to the news. Apple has highjacked Facebook somewhat. Apple has blocked the ability for ads to continue without an opt-in on its platform which is causing a big drop in ads being served. Travis explains everything that Facebook knows about you, a lot of it coming from paying credit card companies for data. Facebook is going to become more like TV as they won’t be able to retarget at the levels they have been able to do in the past, so the ads are going to really have to make an initial impression to stick. Best Quote: Start with a service first. You can always sell yourself as an entrepreneur. And if you can sell yourself to one person, you can sell yourself to 100 and have a successful business. Travis's Misfit 3: Work to live. Don’t live to work. Success and greatness are not the most important thing. Be truly present. Smart has the brains, but stupid has the balls. You can get really far with grit and strategy. You’re live will be judged by how you treat people, either by a higher power or by yourself depending on what you believe.

Exclusive Resource: The Rocket Demo Builder™ – Never give a boring software demo again and close up to TWICE as many deals by this time next week - http://bit.ly/31oUb4c -- I recently spoke at Traffic & Conversion in San Diego when the topic of product demos came up. And what I realized was quite simple but profound: Everyone has a demo problem. I mean… ev-ery-one. And I’m willing to bet that if you were to look at your own business right now, you’re either lacking enough demos to really make a dent in your growth… … or you’re super overwhelmed and inundated with crappy leads that don’t even have a puncher’s chance at converting. aka. a soul-crushing waste of time with a massive opportunity cost. That’s what inspired me to create this week’s episode to show you how to not only get more demos on your cal… but how to get the RIGHT leads on the zoom line that have at least a 65% chance at converting. At a high level, here’s how to book more high quality demos out of your existing traffic: 1. Pepper your CTA 2. Match the message 3. Sell the time 4. Filter your funnel5. Warm the demo I’d love it if you could start with the first one right away. It’s the ULTIMATE demo hack that can literally double the number of calls on your g-cal by next week. Essentially it comes down to this: What high-traffic pages do you have right now that aren’t “working hard enough” to turn a page visitor into a demo appointment? We’re talking about your most highly-traffic’d entry pages as well as any major thank you pages (ie. lead magnet download, webinar sign up, etc.) Peppering your CTA across these pages (and matching the message as I teach in step 2)… can significantly boost your appointment flow with just a few hours of work and not a single extra dollar in ad spend. Watch the full vid here and then drop me a comment letting me know how you plan on implementing over the next week or two to get more qualified demo calls. -- Dan Martell has advised more startups than his hometown has people and teaches startup founders like you how to scale.

Canadian Dan Martell believes that the three least boring things on the planet are growth, happiness and influence. As such, a road paved with frameworks and processes to reach them is anything but boring. It is a road he has been navigating and paving with 5 companies, 3 exits and 39 angel investments. One of the things he has perfected throughout his experience is the art of the product demo, which he talks about extensively on this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show. Listen on to hear: What almost everyone gets wrong when it comes to product demos What is a simple framework for executing a product demo How to ask for a close with confidence What is the impact on the business when you don't ask for a close on the call How to deal with objections After you have listened to it, download Dan's rocket demo framework https://www.danmartell.com/saasrevolution Dan is one of many speakers that we will host in Dublin this October.

Not just some random prospect - someone very accomplished whom I’ve looked up to for a long time already. Let’s just call him Mr. Mysterious. Just as I was getting into the groove of the demo, a red bar appeared on the screen with an error message. What to do? How can you proceed when you’re giving a product demo, and you’re really eager to close that deal, and then your product fails in front of the prospect?
