Podcasts about product launches

According to research from G2, 63% of buyers like to be introduced to new products or solutions. So how can you effectively equip reps to sell your new offerings so they can turn that interest into real business impact? Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Danica Bangert, the senior director of revenue enablement at ProducePay. Thank you for joining us, Danica. I’d love for you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Danica Bangert: Thanks Shawnna for having me. It’s great to be here to talk through this subject. I think it’s very relevant in today’s world and especially in this world of AI and new things that are always coming for a lot of our go-to market reps. But like you mentioned, I’m the senior director of revenue Enablement at Produce Pay. I spent the last decade. In, you know, high growth SaaS companies like Zendesk, like Gong, and now kind of in the FinTech world, in the produce industry, where I get to kind of bring a, I would say, more modern enablement strategy to a very traditional industry, which is unique. And I’m really passionate about enablement in general, having come from the individual contributor side, having done sales and now moved to the enablement world. So love scaling, you know, sales teams and sales enablement teams with, for me, a lot of it’s around frameworks. A lot of it’s around consistency, messaging, and you know, programs like you said, that drive real behavioral change and not just kind of check boxes for enablement. SS: We’re excited to have you here, Danica and you actually recently were featured in an article that offered a glimpse into a day in the life of an enablement leader. Can you tell us what this looks like for you at ProducePay, and what are some of the key initiatives you’re focused on driving as an enablement leader? DB: Yeah, well, no two days are the same, especially a startup. So I’m sure many of our listeners can agree to that point, but especially navigating rapid growth and change is something that I deal with. So some days I’m deep in strategic planning and prioritization, figuring out how to scale things like the onboarding program, if we’re in a hiring phase. Or in my case a lot more is on field execution. So how do I balance the ever boarding for the different roles and different teams in the field? And then other days I’m building hands-on, right with the team, whether it’s tightening our messages on current products, building, you know, LMS courses and certifications for, you know, programs that require maybe a little less behavioral change. Launching, you know, competitive plays or just in general refining manager coaching motions. So I think it’s a mix of thinking big to collaborate with my cross-functional partners, but also for me rolling up my sleeves and helping the team. I. SS: And one of your key initiatives I know, is enabling reps to effectively sell the new predictable commerce program. What are some challenges that reps might face when learning to sell a new solution and how have you been helping your team overcome them? DB: Yeah. Like you mentioned, one of our biggest initiatives is driving adoption for our predictable commerce program. In our case, it’s a offering that gives a bundling almost of our services. It is a definite. I would say new product, but it’s really a shift in how we have gone to market in the past. And of course in that case, enablement has been critical in translating that into something that the field can actually execute on. So, you know, trite as it sounds, the analogy of building a plane while we’re flying it is. Is certainly something that we have to balance here at ProducePay. So we’re figuring out what the motion is to sell, to market this offering, this product, but at the same time, to try to go to those, go to market teams and give them what they need to get in front of customers during the right cycle, during the right part of the customer journey. And so for me and my team, we focused on. A lot of the like packaging of what is that narrative? And the challenge there is designing it to be really prescriptive and make sure that there’s action against, like how can we actually put these pieces into place and embedding it into the different motions that we have in our enablement cadence today. Things like onboarding or on our ongoing coaching and things like that. So it’s so for me it’s about consistency. It’s about clarity of the message for things like new product offerings and giving people the confidence they need to go and speak to their customers or their new business prospects about that potential value. SS: I love that. Consistency, clarity, and confidence. I think those are fantastic things to drive for your sales team. From your perspective, what unique value does an enablement platform provide though when it comes to equipping reps to effectively sell a new solution? DB: Yeah, I mean, for us, it’s about change management, right? Because change management is a big one, and I think when you’re asking sellers to pivot the way that they’ve always sold something, or you have to communicate and over communicate, oftentimes the why, giving them the space to either practice. Or create quick wins or come back to being intentional and being aligned. We really need to be able to have the tools in order to do that. Of course, you know, Highspot helps us along our journey with this in order to enable against any sort of initiative. So for us it’s been a game changer. Right? And it’s a critical, I think, central source of truth, but more importantly, it gives the reps. What they need in their flow of work. I’m very big on like operating in the operating rhythms of the go-to market teams and the tool sets that they’re in. So whether it’s. Pitch decks, talk tracks, objection handling. It should all be at their fingertips. And so, you know, we’ve also leaned into those components. We’ve leaned in heavily to Digital Rooms specifically because of our use of those with our customer. So in customer facing, we can use those Digital Rooms to guide reps kind of through that structured buyer journey and kind of ensure consistency across those touch points. SS: I’d love to actually double click into that because as you mentioned, I know you’re leveraging digital rooms to help reps land the new solution. What are some of your best practices for leveraging Digital Rooms and how are you planning to use them to drive success of your new solution launch? DB: Yeah. One area that, like I said, we’ve really leaned into Digital Rooms. Like I said, it’s not just about the content sharing, it’s about creating this guided. Buyer experience that really mirrors how we want the reps to have conversations. With our customers, especially for us post initial sales, right? A lot of times we see our customer success team who is going in there. There’s so much for us in terms of our product and our offering that they have to be able to anticipate and really guide the customer through when they’ve already signed up with us and become a member and start to utilize our products and services. So we really wanna make sure that they feel equipped to have the conversation, the CSMs, and that the customers don’t have any surprises, right? So that anticipation and the use of guiding them through that journey in digital rooms is really important. So for us, each room is really tailored to the stage of the deal. And for us, post-sales, that curated content is really important and which is why it’s a huge piece of the multi-threaded sales, post-sales journey and, and use utilizing that live on the call with our customers. So from the sales leadership perspective, I think it also gives us visibility. When we think about using the digital rooms, and we can see when a buyer ultimately engages, when a customer engages with it, what they’ve clicked in that room, what interests have been spiked and what drops off. Ultimately, that helps us kind of coach the reps that are using those, our CSMs that are using those in real time and kind of adjust the strategy and what we’re seeing in terms of, you know, buyer disengagement. So, you know, we’ve used the Digital Rooms, especially with our new product offering and ultimately with our current offerings, some of our products that have been around for a long time that are really consistent and that we know we need that customer success support for. So that making sure everyone is kind of aligned in the interactions. SS: Amazing. You touched on visibility and when I think about that, I immediately think about kind of the underlying data behind that. How are you leveraging data to continuously optimize and improve your enablement programs? DB: Yeah, I mean, data’s so important. And of course we’ve seen real results in just utilizing those kinds of capabilities. Shorter time to first deal, or in our case, like higher attach rates for key products. Are things that I would wanna look at, um, and that we’ve seen impact for, from a lot of our enablement programs, but especially this, when we think about post-sales on new products or post-sales on existing products, I would say stronger deal progression is something I wanna look at and utilize the tools sets for the field. But you know, we also track field readiness scores. And you know, since rolling out things like our multi-product offerings and this type of program using, you know, Highspot and coaching cadences, we’ve seen a pretty significant lift in rep confidence and kind of tying that into pipeline conversion. So a lot of things that we’re looking at there. SS: Amazing. And since implementing Highspot, what business results have you achieved and do you have any wins you can share? DB: Yeah. I mean, I would say, again, just looking at the engagement piece, you don’t have to go crazy, right? And especially with tools in general, but Highspot especially, there’s so much you can do in the tool itself that I think it’s important to think about, like the basics. And if you wanna start off with just attributing your enablement success to engagement. That’s absolutely okay. Right. You don’t have to go as far as, okay, let’s tie in directly to the deal conversions or to the qualified pipeline, or to the close rates, or to the a RIO or whatever it is that you’re measuring, right? It’s okay to go straight to, you know, engagement. It’s okay to go straight to rep confidence, like some of those are easy, big wins. And for me, with a smaller team in terms of enablement and also a smaller go-to-market team. You know, that’s something that still gets me buy-in and alignment with my team. So with at least these tools getting, you know, an 18% lift in rep engagement, even just looking at some of the numbers today, like those are good for me. SS: I mean, to your point, it’s about the, the people and, and you’ve mentioned this, you mentioned this in the article, that enablement isn’t just about tools or processes. It really does come down to the people at the end of the day. And how do you keep your people and their needs at the center of your enablement strategy? DB: I think keeping people at the center of enablement strategy is easily done by just remembering that we are dealing with people, right? Sometimes we forget in this world of Zoom and post COVID, like we’re always on, you know, our laptops we’re always on, in general, in emails or in slacks, or in messages, et cetera. Zoom, especially, I think it’s easy to forget that there is a person on the other side of the screen. So much so in even podcasts, right? So we’re always looking at that, I think from a numbers perspective, but coming back to building relationships, right? We get into the roles we’re in, or the companies that we work for because of the relationships we have and the communities that we built behind. So I think it just comes back to remembering that there’s humans involved and what do people care about most is building those connections. So not just, you know, they’re not just numbers, they’re not just APIs or metrics that there’s people behind it. SS: Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Danica, last question for you. If you could give one piece of advice to enablement leaders preparing to roll out a new solution or a new product offering, what would it be? DB: Hmm. This is a good one. I think for me, it goes back to what I just mentioned in terms of even metrics and maturity level. It’s okay to be a team of one. It’s okay to start small, don’t chase perfection. I would say chase adoption. Right. Your content, your programs, your tools, they only matter if people actually use them, that they’re engaged with them. So keep things simple, keep things repeatable and tied to the major business outcomes of, you know, your industry, your business, and just never forget that the best enablement is built with the field, not for them. SS: I couldn’t agree more. Danica, thank you so much for joining us today. You landed some fantastic advice for our audience. DB: Awesome. Well, thanks for having me. It was great. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

I'm sitting down with two brilliant digital product creators—Kelsey McCormick of Coming Up Roses and Laura Paolino of The Doggy Dish—to talk about what launching really looks like in 2025.✨ First up: Kelsey.Kelsey shares how she hit her first $100k launch with her signature offer, Launch Your Own Way.

In this episode, Dave breaks down his personal strategy and process for launching new products on Amazon, detailing a four-stage approach that spans from the first few weeks after launch to ongoing strategies for maintaining sales and optimizing listings. We talk about why its important to have a pricing strategy and an ACOS goal, to have only exact match turned on, and to have reviews as soon as possible.    Struggling with tariffs? Unsure about upcoming changes? Let's talk! With Portless, you only pay tariffs after your customers pay you – so your cash always moves faster than your costs. Schedule a risk assessment and leverage tariff deferment today. All new customers get $1,000 to reinvest in their business.   Launching a product isn't as crazy as it used to be.    Back in the 2010s, you could put up anything on Amazon and it would do huge numbers.    But today, its a different story.    You have to have enough reviews for your product and a low price to stand out from the competition at the minimum.    How do you get this all done? More importantly, what else can I do to guarantee success?    Here's the ultimate 3 month launch plan that we incorporate in our businesses for each new product we launch.    Takeaways In the first few weeks of launch, price your product 40% lower to attract buyers. Focus on exact targeting for PPC in early stages. Send your products into Amazon Vine to get reviews early. Gradually increase prices; Amazon hates when you increase prices abruptly. Utilize promotions based on how competitive your product category is. Auto campaigns help identify effective keywords that you can eventually add to your manual keywords. Aim for 30+ reviews for basic social proof. Incorporate top keywords into product imagery. If you get a lot of bad reviews, consider relaunching your product. Continuously improve your product based on customer feedback.

Drew worked on the team that launched the Panasonic Toughbook by driving a Hummer over it on live TV!  That stunt turned heads, sure, but it also drilled the product's promise into buyers' brains: tough enough to survive anything.

Sometimes, it's not about the product itself, but how you fine-tune everything behind the scenes that can turn things around. Colin Raja is an e-commerce expert and growth strategist with a background in software development and data engineering. He's built multiple seven-figure Amazon brands, specializing in using data to drive business growth. Today, Colin shares his data-driven approach to Amazon product launches, explaining how he helped a brand scale from $50,000 to $500,000 in monthly sales.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with a tease from Apple CEO Tim Cook. His message on X that  "there's something in the air" has sparked speculation about new MacBook Air models featuring the M4 chip. These potential upgrades include a 25% boost in multi-core CPU performance, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved features like a 12MP Center Stage camera and Wi-Fi 6E support. Apple's shift to a more subtle announcement strategy marks a departure from their traditional product launch approach.We also delve into the world of AI economics with Chinese startup DeepSeek's claim of a theoretical 545% cost-profit margin for its AI models. While this figure is based on calculations involving their V3 and R1 inference systems, real-world factors significantly reduce actual revenue. DeepSeek's aggressive pricing strategy and low development costs have sparked debate within the tech community and impacted AI-related stocks.The episode's main focus is the discovery of vast "gold hydrogen" reserves beneath 30 U.S. states, as revealed by a groundbreaking USGS map. This natural hydrogen, formed through a process called serpentinization in geological formations known as rift-inversion orogens, could revolutionize clean energy production. The abundance and widespread distribution of these reserves may accelerate the transition to sustainable energy sources, potentially reshaping the global energy landscape and creating new economic opportunities in regions with significant deposits.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/apple-air-product-teased-QhTieZlcTwWodiMLzGzP3ghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-s-theoretical-545-mar-_vk4xxCjSt.tLxQJCoU2sghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/massive-gold-hydrogen-reserves-kRgxDixrTJCI1W17S2zcbw**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.
