In dieser Folge habe ich, Christian, mit Sebastian Maier über die Rolle von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in der modernen Geschäftswelt gesprochen – und es wurde richtig spannend!

In dieser Episode spreche ich erneut mit Norbert Schuster, Vordenker für modernes Marketing und Vertrieb. Wir tauchen tief ein in die Welt von Marketing & Sales Automation – und schauen uns an, wie der Einsatz von LinkedIn, Video und cleveren Prozessen den Vertrieb transformieren kann. Norbert bringt nicht nur spannende Insights rund um das Thema „Red Rope“ mit, sondern zeigt auch, wie er gemeinsam mit Michael Schreck eine Methode entwickelt hat, die Unternehmen dabei hilft, zielgerichteter und erfolgreicher mit LinkedIn zu arbeiten. Du erfährst, warum es mehr braucht als Personas auf dem Papier, was eine wirklich gute Zielgruppenanalyse ausmacht – und warum aus einem roten Faden im besten Fall ein dickes rotes Seil werden sollte. Wir werfen einen Blick darauf, wie Sales- und Marketing-Teams von einer durchdachten Automatisierung profitieren können. Du lernst, wie LinkedIn-Profile und Content-Strategien datenbasiert optimiert werden – und wie es gelingt, daraus echte Leads zu machen. Ein weiteres Highlight: Die Rolle von Video im modernen Vertrieb. Norbert zeigt, warum Video nicht nur für hippe Start-ups, sondern gerade für B2B-Unternehmen zum Gamechanger wird. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Hemmnisse, die viele Unternehmen noch davon abhalten, den nächsten Schritt zu gehen. Warum eine gute Strategie, das richtige Mindset und Mut zur Veränderung gerade jetzt wichtig sind, erfährst Du ebenfalls. Ein weiteres Highlight dieser Folge ist die Diskussion über den „Safe Space“, den es braucht, damit Mitarbeitende sich überhaupt vor die Kamera trauen – und warum die Angst vor der Kamera oft der größte Showstopper ist. In dieser Folge erfährst Du: ✅ Was es mit dem „Red Rope“ in Sales & Marketing auf sich hat. ✅ Warum datenbasierte Persona- und Verhaltensanalysen den Unterschied machen. ✅ Wie LinkedIn und Automation optimal zusammenspielen. ✅ Warum Video ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil moderner Vertriebsprozesse ist. ✅ Wie Du Mitarbeitenden den nötigen „Safe Space“ für Videokommunikation gibst.

Rüdiger Trost und Tobias Schrödel tauchen tief ein in das Thema KI im Alltag, konkret: im Teams-Meeting.

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to solve a global challenge: helping field sales sell more and faster. My guest is Zach Barney, Co-founder and CEO of Mobly. Zach Barney is an experienced SaaS sales leader and entrepreneur. He has been building and leading SaaS sales teams since 2010 at companies like Vehlo, Nearmap, Teem, and HireVue. Over his career, he has personally closed over $4 million in ARR, and his teams have closed over $40 million.  In 2023, he co-founded Mobly to reduce the high percentage (+25%) of sales activity that never gets logged into CRM systems. Their mission: To redefine lead capture and qualification for event marketers. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Zach to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the lead generation process at in-person events. Zach explains his journey with Mobly to solve this problem - and elaborates how this fits in a much broader vision. He elaborates on the big lessons he learned around gaining traction and using pricing as a lever for growth. Lastly, he elaborates on how he's building a moat around his product. Here's one of his quotes We learned that we needed to change our pricing model. Our first handful of customers we were grossly under-charging them and it was largely due to the fact that we were pricing based on the number of seats. Somebody would openly tell us 'Yeah, well this person can share the license with this person.' So, we realized 'I guess we made a mistake on how we price this because this should be like a $20,000 contract and you're telling me that you're gonna pay 2000…' During this interview, you will learn four things: How he and his co-founder managed to get very comfortable doubling down on building a product without hardly spending anything. What he changed to his pricing strategy to increase average deal-size AND make grow each customer account from there onwards. What strategic choices he made around phasing his product strategy to ensure they got traction as early as possible - and keep growing it. Why he's decided to build defensible differentiation around data and not features.  For more information about the guest from this week: Zach Barney Website: Mobly Subscribe to the Daily SaaS Reflection Get my free, 1 min daily reflection on shaping a B2B SaaS business no one can ignore.

With a 20+ year career in business development working with brands like Frontier Communications, Nextel, Salesforce, and BNI, his knowledge, skills, and understanding of communication and technology are getting real results for the businesses he works with. Kevin knows how to integrate digital technology with your sales process authentically and professionally. He'll show you what's been missing in ensuring an effective outreach and trust-building system: part entrepreneur, part salesperson, part technology master, and part Star Wars fan. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Kevin.In this episode, Nancy and Kevin discuss the following:Transition from teaching to selling.Kevin's story of pursuing what he studied in college and winding up going in a different direction.Increasing sales by understanding and optimizing the sales process. Kevin's tips on being in touch with prospects through automation.Why Kevin does not chase clients?Selling is making it all about prospects, not about salespeople.Key Takeaways:  One of the things that we must help business owners understand when I work with them is that sales are just a series of conversations with an outcome.As a business owner, I don't have time to chase clients.Sometimes, it's just easier to let them go.You understand the pain that I'm going through as a business owner, and you have a potential solution.I know that with all the stuff I have going on with two different companies, a couple of podcasts now, and all the other stuff going on in my life, I can't have this huge pipeline filled with Hopium."When we do it for a company, all those automation emails come from whichever salesperson is supporting that prospect. So, it sounds like it's coming from the person they know; we're working on that relationship, it's no longer; we've all gotten those emails where it's like, "Hey, we want you to schedule a meeting with our sales team." "I already have a meeting with your sales guy tomorrow; why are you still sending me this stuff?" And it impacts the relationship because you're like, well, "Do they even know what's going on with me? And how important am I if they're not able to manage this type of communication? " – KEVIN." The conversation needs to be about what I call the Afters. How are you going to leave that prospect after they do business with you and become a client? What is the quality-of-life change that you're going to give them? How do you keep them from being awake at 2:30 in the morning thinking about work or thinking about family stuff or whatever the issues are that you can solve? I see that a lot of people think, "It's got to impress them with all my accolades." And honestly, none of us care." – KEVIN. "Sales are just having a conversation with someone. It is literally just asking questions and getting them to talk about themselves and then being able to dive into what they're sharing and help them solve stuff. The best salespeople I have ever encountered who have been able to get me to buy are pulling out all the issues I'm having. And then saying, "Well, have you thought about this? What if we did this type of thing?" and they're laying out solutions for me where I can see, "Oh yeah, that would help." As opposed to what a lot of people, especially in the tech field, do is lay out features. And I don't care about features. I care about how it's going to fix my problem. So, that's the thing that people need to remember. It's literally about diving into your prospect's world and leaving them better, even if they don't buy from you if they're in a better position to fix stuff, I still won because they'll remember me later." – KEVIN. Connect with Kevin Snow:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinesnow/  Time on Target:https://www.time-on-target.com/Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website: https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com
