Matthew Delman, Director of Product Marketing at LookingGlass Cyber, joins the show this week to discuss all things related to sales enablement strategy. Sales enablement helps businesses provide consistent messaging throughout all their content. This enables (Get it?) potential customers to have a seamless journey from discovery of a company to purchase of products or services. In this episode, Matt teaches us how to boost a sales cycle, streamline communication, and improve internal organization, all through the magic of sales enablement. Timecoded Guide: [02:48] Explaining sales enablement and how it fits into marketing strategy [06:31] Transforming sales enablement into a faster sales cycle [14:00] Integrating sales enablement into company culture [20:20] Essential tools to include in your future sales enablement kit   What is sales enablement and why is it important? The core of sales enablement is ensuring your message gets out to your marketplace with consistency. During this process, Matt explains that your team is supporting the buyer journey with one-to-many messaging. This ensures a consistent flow in each stage of the sales journey and enables each department to touch on the same concepts. Essentially, sales enablement helps your customer avoid confusion and pain points so that they can go from first contact to purchase seamlessly. “When your buyers read your content, or they download a white paper, or they go to an event, and then, they're contacted by your salesperson, they should get an extension of that same message.” –Matthew Delman How does sales enablement convert into a faster sales cycle? Sales teams are usually hyper focused on making sales. While this fits their goals and metrics, this one-track mindset breeds confusion if they can't find exactly the materials they need when they need them. In order to save the sale with potential clients, your sales team might create one-off materials that are a good fit in that moment, but do not match what the marketing team is saying. Successful sales enablement streamlines internal processes so that sales teams have exactly what they need, when they need it. “Sales enablement is about training your sales team to make sure they're confident in talking about your solution, but it's also making sure that they can find the collateral that they need when a prospect asks for it.”  How do you get sales teams to buy into sales enablement and use the organizational tools you create? Sales enablement starts with sales leadership, according to Matt. If you tell the sales manager that your sales enablement strategy will help them close deals faster, essentially every single decision maker will sign on. Once you have the leadership on board, the sales team will follow their guidance. You might have to do some negotiation in terms of support and positioning for the team, but once the sales enablement leaders understand it will increase business, it usually becomes an easy sell. “With sales enablement, your whole goal is to make the deals move faster, to make them smoother, to essentially smooth out the lumps in the sales cycle because you are responding to your prospects' questions in a timely manner with consistent information.” –Matthew Delman What are the key tools to include in a sales enablement kit? Matt explains that a few tools need to be included in your sales enablement kit to ensure success. His list includes a unified pitch deck, educational videos or an educational call recording, high-level product trainings, and a few plug-and-play email templates. The pitch deck shouldn't have the exact same slides for everything, but rather allow for customization within limits, a sample call can provide a real-time example of the sale, and trainings and templates make sure your sales team are knowledgeable and have structured responses ready at all times.  “You want to have your main points for each slide in the deck, and basically say, ‘Here's the main points that you should hit on this slide. How you say it, I don't care. But here's the main points.'”  ----------  Links:  Get tickets for our upcoming CyberMarketingCon 2022.  Spend some time with our guest Matthew Delman on Twitter and LinkedIn.

How to Use Proactive Communication to Manage Increasing Customer Expectations Shep Hyken interviews Laura Bassett, Vice President of Product Marketing at NICE, a complete platform for delivering an end-to-end customer experience. Bassett shares how customer expectations have changed over the years and how companies can provide amazing customer experiences through proactive communication.  Top Takeaways:   ·      Customers are more demanding than ever because they're learning what excellent service looks like from the best experiences they've had from other companies (not just in your industry). ·      Proactive communication helps both businesses and customers. It will not only help the customers before they ask for help, but it also helps them get more value from the products. It will also help companies retain customers.   ·      How to convert an un-amazing situation into an amazing experience:   o  Walk in your customer's shoes and compare that to what you might expect for your own experience.   o  Make your customer support agents (more) knowledgeable. Help them understand that they don't have to go through a script when it is unnecessary.   o  Empower your agents. Give them the tools, the options, and the information to actually solve the problem.   o  Turn customer support agents into customer service executives who own the experience. Give them their own bot assistants and real-time knowledge bases that they can leverage to solve their customer's problems.   ·      A NICE survey found that 80% of consumers will start with digital (website, app, Google search, YouTube, etc.) when they have a question, a need, or want to buy something. Quote:  "Companies should understand and predict when they can answer a question before customers even realize they have it."   About:   Laura Bassett is the Vice President of Product Marketing at NICE. She has 20+ years of experience in consulting, development, and delivery. Bassett is an outstanding product marketer, gifted speaker, product ambassador, and strategic thinker.   Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Sumair Dutta is the Vice President, Product Marketing at ServiceMax. He is an experienced product marketer and industry analyst. Sumair has deep familiarity with field service, workforce management, and frontline worker needs. Sumair joins the host Eugene Signorini to talk about the changing role of frontline workers.   Takeaways  The biggest problem facing the frontline workforce today is the disruption that new technology has brought. While some jobs can be automated frontline workers can be interacting with customers and spend less time on unnecessary paperwork. A true test of automation is to see if it still works after taking some fields away from it, rather than just adding more work to it and hoping that it works out well. The technicians and those on the frontline are the ones who represent your company to your customers, so you want to make sure they are fully capable and able to do any work they need to do in the field.  The people who take on the role of a field service technician or someone else working the frontlines are people who want to help solve problems that customers are having a get over any potential hurdles. The work that frontline employees are doing is becoming more complex, requiring multiple steps for a single task to be completed.  Organizations are going to want to tap more into the customer success part of the frontline workforce. Companies will be able to use that as a source of revenue and lead generation for themselves.  It's important to understand the needs of technicians and frontline workers and see where any of the pain points are and try to solve that for them.    Quote of the show: 12:22 “The folks who take on these jobs are inherently folks who want to solve problems.” Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumairdutta/ Company Website: https://www.servicemax.com/   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2f4ecd92-6468-4769-b0bf-254e236510b7/FRONTLINE-INNOVATORS  Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontline-innovators/id1572329402 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/29m3wnK8pbFjdSvJ9wjmyS Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/frontline-innovators Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnJvbnRsaW5laW5ub3ZhdG9ycy5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw YouTube - https://youtu.be/f-swOhgPqcg   Frontline Innovators is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

Kristina Jaramillo recently asked on LinkedIn - what role aligns the closest to ABM: demand generation, field marketing or product marketing. She asked this question because Nick Bennett at Alyce mentioned that field marketing should be focused on the middle and bottom of the funnel.  They capture the demand that the demand generation team created. As ABM should be about accelerating higher-value deals to revenue -- and not sourcing the pipeline, he feels that ABM and field marketing are similar in many ways. At Personal ABM we agree that ABM aligns more with field marketing than demand gen. But we are on the fence when it comes to whose closer aligned with ABM: product marketing or field marketing. Product marketers are the connector of the business and they are able to help GTM teams nurture from a sales, marketing, customer success and product perspective. In this podcast Kristina Jaramillo, Eric Gruber and Christine Friscic (Peak Community member and product marketing leader at Gainsight)  discuss:1. A brief description of what Gainsight's ABM program looks like and how their team is structured. 2. The role product marketing should play in ABM and why product marketing should be driving ABM vs. demand gen. 3. What is the account-based enablement that should be provided so sales and marketing teams drive stage progression vs. just sourcing the pipeline?

SCALING SALES-BASED BUSINESSES FT. (JOSH TROY) WITH (ALEX QUIN) | (EPISODE #) Episode Summary: In this podcast, Alex interviews Josh Troy, founder of the WFS (Wires From Strangers) Group. The WFS group is a brand that helps businesses scale integrity-based sales operations. Together, they talk about building offers and why crafting a pitch before reaching out is essential. Finally, they tackle common mistakes, and obstacles salespeople make when scaling their business. Wisdom Nuggets: Building an offer is important before reaching out to a client. An offer usually includes brand voice, marketing hooks, and a CTA. It's important to put together an offer that is appealing and speaks to the client's needs in order to increase the chances of them working with you.Pitch matters because it's the first step in getting a client to say yes to working with you. Your pitch should be well-thought-out and tailored to the specific client you're reaching out to. It's also important to have a strong understanding of what the client is looking for so you can position your offer in the best light possible.Evolving your offer is key to success in business. By always being open to change and making sure your offer is up-to-date, you'll be able to maintain strong relationships with clients.Podcast Outline: Alex: (00:18) This is Josh Troy, founder of the WFS group. What's up, man. Thanks for jumping Alex: (00:27) let's give everybody a little bit of context. We met at Jeremy's Q2, my back Q3 inner circle mastermind. It was a fantastic weekend. You presented; I was really blown away by your presentation.Alex: (01:15) There's a ton of marketing agency owners in there doing six figures a month, seven figures a month. And ultimately, we're all here to help each other out. And that's what we wanna do on this podcast today. Alex: (01:52) So what's up with Wires From Strangers? How did this come to life? Josh: (01:56) Yeah. So first of all, so wires from strangers, we also call it WFS group. We scale integrity-based sales operations. And I think that was the presentation that you heard me speak on at the mastermind. It was like my 10 best nuggets for scaling integrity-based sales operations.Alex: (03:34) A lot of people have a great offer. They have a great business, but they have sales; it's happened to me in my businesses.Alex: (05:34) So what, what are the biggest mistakes you see people usually make in their sales system.Josh: (07:12) Pitch design is one of the main ones. People don't spend enough time, really diving deep into how their offer needs to be pitched to resonate.Josh: (10:01) Offer, design pitch, design, process design. Alex: (13:23) A lot of the time I notice, especially because I've been in digital marketing for a while, is that not every time digital marketers care to see the process all the way throughAlex: (14:11) There's a whole lot to it to finally get them on the phone. And even after you get them on the phone to get the deal closed.Josh: (17:39) There's three things to me that I've, and I didn't always know this.Josh: (23:27) I'm 29 now I was 20. Then this is almost a decade ago. I had to explain to people why videos were a smart thing to pay for as a business.Alex: (23:42) To have a video production was like something really glamorous because at most what was working was photos. Instagram was popping at that point. Josh: (23:56) Totally. I mean dude, at the time back, I mean just a couple years before that the only people that were producing like videos and commercials and ads were the biggest companies in the world that could pay for TV.Josh: (26:10) I'll say side note real quick. If there's somebody that's listening to this by chance, that's a server right now. The first thing that you should do is go get a job at a high end restaurant, cuz you'll triple your pay overnight doing the same exact thing.Josh: (29:50)That's it, man. So going back real quick, I'll wrap this up for you on the, on the story of like how it kind of continued to evolve is so I, I started iron wall now, the video marketing company. So that was, I, I built the entire thing from cold calling.Josh: (31:57) So I have so much strategy and structure around the first minute of a, of a cold call because here's the other thing about a cold call.Alex: (36:47) That's why, so I love sales and marketing. Like you specifically sales marketing on my end because ultimately you could apply that to anything that, that skill sort of selling.Josh: (38:33) Anything, anything that you want to be repeatable, you're gonna wanna have process documentation for. So it's not just for sales for really anything you wanna do. Josh: (40:48) What is the most repeatable high leverage action that you need? Make your, make your SOPs for that first. Alex: (42:09)Troy, man, I really appreciate you jumping on. I really hope we could continue this conversation in the future cuz I find a lot of value in what you do.Power Quotes: “Anything that you want to be repeatable, you're going to want to have a processed documentation for.

Driving Inbound SAOsWe got to chat with the brilliant MJ Peters (VP of Marketing at CoLab), to hear about the 3 main levers she pulls to drive inbound SAOs. Namely: Eyeballs Messaging First Sales Call We'll go through a summary of each of these levers below, and pull out some insights on how she's using them to grow CoLab's SAOs and revenue.How They Improved ItLever 1: EyeballsMJ works to get as many of the right eyes as possible to look at the brand and messaging. This means creating content for 2 categories: Demand capture (e.g. SEO & paid search) Demand creation (e.g. paid ads on social) For demand capture content, she makes sure Product Marketing and Demand Gen work in sync, so the messaging is consistent. The ad should offer a hook or summary, but the site should expound upon it.When she's running social ads, she's looking at engagement & CTR as a leading metric of how it's performing. As it runs, she'll look at profiles of who comments or likes, and adjust the audience over time to make sure it's reaching only the most relevant job titles. For demand capture content (typically paid search or SEO), there's less flexibility over the messaging, because the prospect is looking for a specific thing.So her goal is to respond from a positioning perspective to meet prospects where they're already at.Lever 2: Messaging on the websiteOnce she gets eyeballs on the website, she makes sure what they're reading resonates with them and leads them to convert. At this point, she's used content on outside platforms to catch prospects with a hook and generate demand to learn more. And now that those prospects are on the website, she has a better opportunity to elaborate on the key value points she shared off-platform.To help her craft the best messaging, MJ has 1:1 calls with customers and listens to sales recordings on Gong. First, she identifies the use case they came to CoLab for. Then she sifts through dozens of pains/talking points and distills the top 3 or 4 that come up the most. These will become the 3-4 talking points on that specific use case page.For example, one use case may be using CoLab to lower costs, by designing costs out of their products. So MJ will identify the top 3-4 pain talking points around that, and use them on that use case page.Ultimately, this allows her to have the best chance at saying things that resonate with customers and drive the highest conversion. And as we mentioned earlier, she carefully maps this messaging in the “get eyeballs” stage, so demand gen is more effective and the prospect experiences more consistency.Lever 3: The first sales callOn the first call, MJ makes sure what the prospect hears, lines up with the marketing messaging they saw.In other words:Find the promised value that drove the prospect. Then give them a taste of that value, right away, in the first call.To help her do this, MJ uses different demo booking forms on each use case page. So when a prospect books a demo, she can dig into the CRM to let the rep know what use case the prospect is interested in, and what pages they visited.Consider the traditional experience:The prospect reads a use case page about how your product will help them reduce time and save money. They come excited to learn how you'll help them do that. But on the first call, they get peppered with 25 discovery questions.This is a poor, unhelpful experience.Instead, marketing can dig into the deal in HubSpot and see that the Contact booked a demo on your Solutions page around “saving time”. They can relay that context to the rep, so the rep highlights exactly how the product saves time.By being involved in the first call, MJ's team is better aligned with sales and delivers a more relevant experience for the customer. She feels many companies invest heavily in the first 2 levers, but ignore this one, which results in a leaking funnel at this stage.ResultsMJ only recently started the role, and has spent most of the time heavily investing in refining their messaging on all these levers. But it's already starting to pay off.In all her time in marketing, she's never seen messaging have as big of an impact as it has at CoLab. She's also seen the quality of SQLs and SAOs in the pipeline become much higher, specifically in terms of firmographic fit and qualitative motivation for reaching out.
