Sellers often rely on scheduling links without realizing how much friction they introduce. In this episode, Brandon breaks down why links often stall momentum, how visual availability lowers decision effort, and why one-click scheduling outperforms multi-step flows.You'll learn the psychology behind initiation versus selection, how to implement inline availability using tools like Calendly, Outreach, or SalesLoft, and why respectful, low-effort asks consistently convert at higher rates. This episode is a practical example of how small friction reductions create outsized gains.If you want more meetings without more follow-up, this simple shift can change everything.
Jason Eubanks on Building Oracel: Raising $30M in 28 Hours to Disrupt the $236B Go-To-Market Tooling Market with AI-Native Sales AutomationJason Eubanks, CEO and Co-founder of Oracel, discusses how the company raised $30 million in just 28 hours—oversubscribed at $40 million—by solving a critical problem in the go-to-market industry.

Jason shares how his experience scaling revenue from $1M to $100M+ across five startups—including Twilio (IPO), Meraki (acquired by Cisco for $1.2B), and Harness—directly informed the founding vision of AurasellEpisode Timestamps- 00:00 - Introduction and Jason Eubanks joins the podcast- 00:26 - Why Oracel raised $30M in 28 hours despite initial $40M oversubscription- 01:24 - The "desert of innovation" in go-to-market tooling since the late 90s- 01:42 - History of CRM evolution from mainframe to cloud to niche products- 03:12 - Founding vision: One intelligent GTM sales platform to replace them all- 03:39 - How pain as a CRO across five startups led to Oracel's creation- 05:58 - The X-Ray productivity assessment revealing tool sprawl inefficiencies- 07:59 - Sellers spending 28% of time selling and 70% on manual tasks- 09:03 - First principles AI-native approach with whiteboards in the kitchen- 09:29 - Five key personas: SDR, seller, IC manager, executive, ops team- 12:18 - AI-native architecture: multimodal interface, lakehouse, and 10,000 agents- 14:39 - Unified data model importance for contextualized AI automation- 15:45 - Current hat wearing: product focus and 50% building go-to-market engine- 18:43 - Platform features and customer experience design philosophy- 19:05 - Three wow moments per persona as success metric- 20:39 - Onboarding experience: automatic territory building and customer choice- 21:40 - 10,000 agents discovering ICP, personas, and competitors automatically- 24:07 - Automated account research and value hypothesis creation- 25:34 - Outbound prospecting content generation with propensity scoring- 26:32 - Outbound sequencer integration and email platform plugins- 27:00 - AI voice dialer coming in three weeks with closed-loop automation- 28:47 - What's missing: deep marketing and customer success automation- 30:49 - Ideal customer profiles: startups and enterprises with tool sprawl- 31:30 - Solution for heavily customized legacy systems coming in December- 34:24 - Dynamic change detection layer solving technical debt- 36:23 - Jason's career arc from BMC Software through Harness- 37:09 - Why: helping go-to-market operators solve problems he experienced- 39:55 - Meraki's disruptive cloud-managed network architecture- 41:51 - Three constants: great product builders, important problems, massive markets- 43:22 - Intrinsic motivation as foundation for hiring and culture- 45:31 - Hiring from first job onward to assess character and values- 51:24 - Understanding why someone wanted to work at 14 years old- 53:21 - Importance of formative years for work ethic and intelligence- 55:46 - AI adoption culture: using own product and building agents internally- 56:36 - All employees use AI daily across PMs, engineers, and operations- 59:25 - Ask AI features: analytics dashboards, data enrichment, natural language-
It's an annual tradition in New York City: Each December, pedestrians fight for walking room on sidewalks populated by lush firs and frasers. Staffed by seasonal workers, these Christmas tree lots are often open 24 hours a day. We visited one of these tree stands on a sidewalk in West Harlem just after midnight to learn about the biz. But first, holiday season retail sales numbers out yesterday from the Census Bureau were unexpectedly flat.

In this episode of Talk of Music City Real Estate, CareyAnn and Monte sit down with Jonathan Harris to unpack a radically different way to list and sell homes in today's unpredictable market (2020–2025 and beyond). Jonathan explains why experience can become a blind spot, why price does NOT equal value, and how his Marketplace Method can help agents get nearly any home under contract in **10–14 days**—without sacrificing client trust or sales price. You'll hear how strategic starting prices, seller reserve prices, compressed open-house windows, and upfront inspections/appraisals can create transparent competition, more showings, stronger offers, and greater certainty for sellers.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. If planning feels heavy, annoying, or like one more thing on your to-do list, this episode is for you. Most sellers either: • Don't plan at all and spend the day putting out fires, or • Try to follow someone else's "perfect system" and assume they are the problem when it doesn't work. You don't need a complicated notion board or a 2-hour CEO block. You need a simple way to decide in advance what matters most, and keep it where you can actually see it. In this episode, I walk you through a planning shift that takes 5-7 minutes and can easily give you two hours back in your day by cutting down decision fatigue, distractions, and low-value busywork.
Stop setting random goals that look good on paper and build a plan that actually grows your TPT store. We dig into the quiet reason January resolutions fail for sellers: a lopsided focus on traffic while ignoring conversion and customer retention. Views matter, but without a store that converts and a system that brings buyers back, more clicks just multiply frustration. We break the cycle with a simple, repeatable framework you can use to shape your 2026 profit plan.First, we unpack traffic the right way—seasonal keyword research, standards language teachers actually search, and resource ideas that match real classroom timing. Then we turn to conversion, where the biggest wins often hide: mobile-friendly covers, a thumbnail story that sells outcomes, previews that answer objections in seconds, and pricing that reflects value in your niche. Finally, we show how retention multiplies every effort: thoughtful post-purchase emails, bundle pathways, product ecosystems that build trust, and updates that keep customers engaged across the school year.You'll hear how to read your data to pick a starting point, map tasks to each revenue driver, and avoid the trap of busywork disguised as growth. If you've ever asked why more views aren't leading to more sales, this conversation gives you a practical path forward and a way to plan an entire year with clarity and confidence. Ready to trade guesswork for a blueprint? Join our TPT Profit Plan workshop to build your personalized roadmap for 2026, then come back next week to keep the momentum going.If this helped you, follow the show, share with a TPT friend, and leave a quick review—what revenue driver are you focusing on first?Sign Up for the TPT Profit Plan Workshop: https://rebrandedteacher.kartra.com/page/hun253Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L-wcnfZiuGw Check Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfulton My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/ My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATsch Free Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Jose Fernandez — former Head of Global Sales Development at Google and now CEO of Easy Comp — breaks down how compensation must evolve when companies shift from traditional SaaS licensing to consumption-based models. Drawing from his experience at Google Ads, one of the most successful consumption engines in business history, Jose lays out the structural advantages of consumption models and how GTM, onboarding, forecasting, and comp plans must align to unlock growth.John McMahon and John Kaplan then expand on how consumption changes seller behavior, deal sizing, renewal dynamics, forecast accuracy, and quota mechanics. This is a must-listen for revenue leaders, sellers, and anyone navigating the industry-wide shift toward usage-based pricing.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:46] Companies transitioning to consumption models often copy SaaS licensing structures instead of designing comp that amplifies consumption-driven advantages.[00:01:34] Three core advantages of consumption models: lower barrier to entry, value-aligned spend increases, and product-led expansion.[00:03:07] Aligning GTM roles — new business, onboarding, and account management — enables scale and fairness in comp.[00:03:57] Forecasting in consumption models becomes an analytical discipline, requiring predictive models rather than rep intuition.[00:05:00] High-quality customer fit at acquisition can result in massive upside — one rep earned huge commission from a $15M three-month advertiser.[00:07:02] In consumption, churn can happen in a week — sellers must ensure rapid value realization, not just contract signing.[00:08:00] Sellers often intentionally downsize initial deals to ensure burn-down and protect compensation.[00:08:59] PLG and sales-assisted models blend; comp must account for small initial usage that grows rapidly.[00:09:48] Companies balance advance payments to reps with clawbacks to protect against churn.[00:10:10] Smart sellers can land small, prove value, and convert usage to multi-year, high-value commitments.QUOTES[00:01:10] “Companies take too much inspiration from the old model instead of designing comp that amplifies the advantages of consumption.”[00:01:56] “Customer spend is directly proportional to the value they get — and their understanding of that value.”[00:02:19] “If you have an amazing product, some of that growth is going to be product-led, regardless of the sales team.”[00:03:57] “Forecasting in a consumption model is an analytical exercise — not something you ask an account executive to guess.”[00:07:54] “In consumption, a customer can use it for a week, turn it off like a light switch, and move on.”[00:08:38] “PLG might start with $500 on a credit card and scale into a major enterprise deal.”[00:09:28] “Sometimes comp gives future credit for usage trajectory — but companies will claw it back if churn happens.”[00:10:33] “There's a lot of gold in this full episode — make sure you check it out.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/driving-sales-behavior-with-effective-compensation-plans-with-jose-fernandezEnjoying the podcast?

Notes: Contract Law Exam Ready GuideUnderstanding UCC Article 2 vs. Common Law Contracts: A Legal Deep DiveThis conversation provides an in-depth analysis of UCC Article 2, focusing on the transition from common law contracts to the more flexible UCC framework. It covers essential topics such as the scope of UCC Article 2, merchant status, contract formation, the battle of the forms, performance and breach, risk of loss, warranties, remedies, and the judicial concept of unconscionability. The discussion emphasizes the UCC's anti-surprise policy, which aims to protect buyers from hidden risks and unfair terms in contracts.Navigating the transition from common law contracts to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 2 can feel like stepping into a new world. The shift from rigid common law rules to the flexible, commerce-friendly UCC is akin to changing the rules of gravity in a legal landscape.The Philosophical Shift: Common law contracts focus on the intent and promises between two parties, demanding precision and formality. In contrast, UCC Article 2, which governs the sale of goods, is designed for the high-volume, often messy reality of commerce. It aims to facilitate trade rather than hinder it over minor discrepancies.Scope and Application: The UCC applies exclusively to transactions involving goods, defined as movable items at the time of contract identification. This distinction is crucial, as it determines whether the UCC or common law governs a transaction. In mixed contracts involving both goods and services, the predominant purpose test helps decide the applicable legal regime.Merchant Status and Good Faith: Merchant status under the UCC introduces stricter rules and increased liability. Merchants are held to a higher standard of good faith, requiring not only honesty but also adherence to reasonable commercial standards. This ensures that a merchant's conduct aligns with industry norms.Formation and Flexibility: UCC formation rules prioritize the parties' intent to contract, even if some terms are left open. The code provides statutory gap fillers to address these omissions, ensuring that viable agreements are not destroyed by technicalities.Warranties and Disclaimers: The UCC imposes express and implied warranties to ensure product quality. Sellers can disclaim these warranties, but the UCC's anti-surprise policy requires disclaimers to be conspicuous and explicit. This protects buyers from hidden risks.Remedies and Risk of Loss: The UCC offers remedies to place aggrieved parties in the position they would have occupied had the contract been fully performed. It also outlines rules for risk of loss, determining which party bears the financial burden if goods are damaged or destroyed.The UCC's overarching policy objective is to prevent surprise and ensure fairness in commercial transactions. By understanding the nuances of UCC Article 2 and its contrast with common law, legal professionals can navigate this complex landscape with confidence.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest legal insights and deepen your understanding of contract law.TakeawaysThe transition from common law to UCC is significant.UCC Article 2 focuses on commercial reality and flexibility.Merchant status affects the obligations and risks in transactions.The predominant purpose test determines the governing law for mixed contracts.UCC formation rules are more flexible than common law.The battle of the forms allows for contract formation despite discrepancies.The perfect tender rule gives buyers leverage but has safety valves.Risk of loss depends on the type of contract and seller status.Warranties are foundational seller promises that can be difficult to disclaim.Unconscionability serves as a judicial check on fairness in contracts.UCC, Article 2, contracts, common law, merchant status, warranties, remedies, unconscionability, risk of loss, battle of the forms

I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!! UPDATE ON THAT GEORGIA TURKEY HUNTING STORY Update on a story that stirred up hunters across the country. Back in April, a Georgia teen shot what he believed was a wild turkey on his family's 11-acre property. He posted a proud photo online—his very first turkey. But the situation turned upside down when a neighbor, who also happened to be his former teacher, claimed the bird was actually her pet domestic turkey. A Georgia DNR officer investigated and confirmed the hunt happened legally on the teen's own land. No baiting, no violations, nothing illegal. But even after the DNR declined to file charges, the sheriff's office did—charging the teen with felony animal cruelty. That charge led to a school suspension and forced him to move out of state while he waited for his court date. The family said he had no way of knowing the turkey belonged to anyone. It had no tags or markers, and the domestic breed he shot looked similar enough to a wild turkey that a young hunter could easily mistake it. The case sparked a lot of debate in the small town of Waverly Hall and across the hunting community. Many felt the situation had gone way too far. And now the update: In November, a Harris County juvenile court judge found the teen NOT GUILTY, bringing an end to a six-month legal battle. The judge ruled he did not commit the felony he was accused of. So what started as a proud first hunt became a national story—but now, at last, the teen has been cleared.

Fifty-three-year-old Terry Sellers pleaded guilty to multiple wildlife violations after a state investigation found he illegally killed three massive whitetail bucks on prison property in Lauderdale County. The deer had a combined gross score of more than 490 inches. Wildlife officers say the case broke when reports surfaced about a huge 15-point double drop-tine buck known to roam near the penitentiary. Investigators used smartphone location data to link Sellers to the kills. A judge ordered Sellers to pay $17,500 in restitution, $850 for taxidermy costs, and suspended his hunting privileges for six years. The mounted deer heads will be used in educational displays by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

For the past seven years, Mark has studied the Amazon algorithm to understand how it works and how we can work along with it to rank products. He has traveled the world to speak and share these techniques with the largest sellers worldwide. Mark's personal background is marketing and branding. Having brands of his own, along with his Amazon knowledge working under the nine figure brand, combining those together is how House of arms was born. Where Mark can help is to optimize your products and brand not only for the outside world, but mainly on Amazon, which is its own ecosystem in itself. So welcome to the podcast, Mark.Mark 00:00:41 Thank you very much. Yeah. Good morning. How are you?Josh 00:00:44 Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks again for joining me. And I apologize for my voice, both to the listeners and to yourself. I lost my voice coaching, hockey practice and yelling, shouting at the kids. because there's multiple teams on the ice. So you have to speak relatively loud.Josh 00:01:03 And, it did my voice in, that's for sure. So I apologize about that.Mark 00:01:07 Oh, good. Yeah. No worries.Josh 00:01:09 Mark, you've studied the algorithm for seven years. You I would argue you would consider yourself an expert when it comes to ranking products on Amazon. So tell us, you know, can you break down the Amazon algorithm to our listeners and tell us what you are seeing that Amazon cares about when it comes to ranking products today?Mark 00:01:31 So if you have another six hours, I could do well, I could go in depth. no. But so yeah, there's a lot I mean, well, first of all, a lot of things change within the Amazon algorithm. Many, many things like it's always changing, evolving and growing and it's there's so much to it. But what I always like to break it down and explain to people in a very simple way is that every little thing that the shopper does, Amazon takes into account, and what that means is every little thing from how you clicked and how you even got.Mark 00:02:02 How you even got to Amazon, you know, backing up all the way there, how you got to Amazon, what keyword you search when you got there, how long like every little point in detail. So really. So we we really broke it down and saw okay. So someone goes on the listing onto Amazon. Where do they come from. Do they come from a Facebook ad. Do they come from a referral from let's say, WhatsApp from their friend? and then once they once they're on Amazon, what what keyword do they type in? Once they type in the keyword, how long were they on the results page for? Once you're on the results page, what listings did they click? So meaning did they just click on yours and others? Do they go on others and then yours? Or was it just yours now and on the listing. Right. So let's say I type in sports water bottle and I click on your listing. Now how long are you on the listing for. Is it just you saw it and you add it to cart right away and you're done.Mark 00:02:51 It was an instant purchase. or was it something that you engaged with the listing. So Amazon looks if they engage with the listing and they looked at the reviews and the pictures and they really invested five minutes under the listing to look at it and do everything and added it to cart. That's where you're going to get the success because Amazon sees that you really invest the time. So all these small little details app is what Amazon takes into account with their algorithm. And that's what gives you kind of like the power. But there's a lot obviously a lot more to it. But just just to break it down for you on kind of what it insists.Josh 00:03:26 Yeah, I love that. Let's go back to. You mentioned launching your product first via FBM, and that you're saying that the honeymoon period doesn't really start until it goes into FBA. So my question with that is, you know, I guess you have data to back that up. Is that true?Mark 00:03:45 Yeah, we've tested it out and we've saw that once it hits FBA and it's available to be shipped, then that's when Amazon's going to start pushing your listing.Mark 00:03:53 Right now if it's FBM they're not going to push your listing. They want they want to show the results which are the people that they can click and order right now. And it's going to get to them in two days or less.Josh 00:04:03 Okay, so when you launch via FBM, is your conversion rate lower during that time? Because people aren't being aren't able to get their product in two days, right?Mark 00:04:14 Probably would be lower, yes. Because everyone looks for that prime badge w...

Welcome back to the video podcast! In this episode, Steve is joined by Andy Hemmings (Capital Title) to discuss the importance of Title/Escrow Insurance for real estate investors. Were you aware that at one point in history, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City was sold by someone who had no affiliation with the bridge at all? Can you even comprehend that kind of situation?!? Unfortunately, devious practices like that still exist today, and that is where Any Hemmings and Capital Title come in. So join these two as they talk about how easy it is to do the work on your title investigation BEFORE the sale, and how wrong everything can go if things go wrong.

Sharon Van Zeeland, Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at Rockwell Automation Sharon brings a unique engineer's perspective to the softest parts of M&A. In this episode, Sharon reveals how Rockwell developed a systematic scoring system for evaluating culture fit during due diligence—complete with numerical rankings across key dimensions like decision-making authority, adaptability, and mission alignment. She also shares unconventional tactics for getting deals across the finish line, from negotiating hunting rights to sponsoring 4th of July parades, and explains why marrying your diligence and integration teams early is the secret to accelerating post-deal value creation. Things You'll Learn How to build a numerical scoring system for culture assessment Why marrying your diligence and integration leaders from day one eliminates knowledge chasms, captures integration costs in your deal model, and helps you reach steady state faster than traditional handoffs Creative negotiation tactics beyond price and terms ____________________ This episode is brought to you by S&P Global. Today's episode of M&A Science is brought to you by S&P Global Market Intelligence. If you're in corp dev or PE, you know the pain — good private company data is hard to come by. Everyone's still chasing clean, reliable, up-to-date data. I started out using CapIQ Pro for public comps, but didn't realize until recently how deep their private company coverage has gotten. Over 58 million private companies, global reach, and actually usable for real deal work. This isn't surface-level. You get real metrics — ownership, financials, funding rounds, even asset-level insights. So if you're still toggling between a dozen tools trying to piece together the picture, maybe it's time to stop guessing and start sourcing better. Learn More Here: https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/solutions/products/private-company-data?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=MAScienceH225 __________________ Buyer-Led M&A™: The Framework is Now Available Traditional M&A is broken. Buyers chase auctions. Sellers control the process. It's reactive, inefficient, and exhausting. After 300+ episodes of M&A Science, I've taken insights from the world's top corp dev leaders and distilled them into a practical framework for taking control of your M&A pipeline—how to source deals directly, build relationships earlier, and stop being auction-chasers. If you'd like to build a proactive M&A program that founders actually want to engage with, you can grab your copy. https://dealroom.net/resources/ebooks/buyer-led-m-a-tm-the-framework _________________ Everything You Need to Learn Modern M&A — In One Membership Access proven templates, frameworks, and real operator insights — all designed to help you learn faster, make smarter decisions, and run Buyer-Led M&A with confidence.

[00:05:30] Owning the Full Lifecycle – Why Rockwell expanded Sharon's role to include strategy, M&A, integration, and venture investing, creating an enterprise-wide view with quarterly reviews and closed-loop learning. [00:08:30] The Cultural Wake-Up Call – The story of how Rockwell acquired a small software company and nearly derailed a customer's drug development timeline because they missed evaluating decision-making authority during diligence. [00:12:00] Building a Culture Scoring System – How Rockwell uses a 50-item survey to create numerical rankings (0-5 scale) across cultural dimensions, then visualizes gaps and similarities in graphs that are "worth a thousand words." [00:19:00] Integration Playbooks by Company Size – Why Rockwell developed separate playbooks for small, mid-size, and large acquisitions, and how they determine whether to leave companies alone, partially integrate, or fully absorb. [00:27:00] Getting Deals Actionable – Sharon's unconventional negotiation stories: securing hunting land rights for a Texas seller, letting an owner keep his beloved company truck, and guaranteeing 4th of July parade sponsorships. [00:38:30] Marrying Diligence and Integration – The shift from waiting until closing to starting integration planning before LOI, including how Rockwell pairs each integration leader with a corresponding person on the target side. [00:46:00] Continuous Learning Through Retrospectives – How Rockwell conducts retrospectives after every deal phase—not immediately after closing, but six months to a year later when they can truly assess what worked. [00:49:00] AI's Impact on M&A – Sharon's perspective on how AI is changing deal flow and diligence processes, plus a cautionary tale about AI hallucinations incorrectly identifying a public company as private. [00:52:00] Data Beyond Financials – Why corp dev leaders should track employee retention rates, promotion rates, new product introduction velocity, and customer complaints as cultural success indicators.

But diversified brands kept growing because TikTok, Shopify, Amazon, and email all picked up the slack.Factories across China and Vietnam are now slowing down early ahead of Lunar New Year, which means your Q2 inventory window is already shrinking.

If you have been asking yourself "Should i take an overpriced listing?" the answer is yes, but only if you set the right expectations upfront.I will teach you how to get the seller to agree to a price reduction real estate strategy before you even leave the house. This is the difference between an amateur presentation and the best listing presentation that actually converts.In this episode, you will learn:✅ The exact Price Reduction Script to secure a price adjustment in advance.✅ How to master objection handling over pricing without getting defensive.✅ The "Hard Truth" Real Estate Mindset shift required to succeed in a tougher market.✅ How to fix common seller objections real estate agents face daily.✅ Why you need real estate coaching and training to move from C+ habits to A+ results.
