In this episode, Aljaz Peklaj is joined by Ivana Todorovic, co-founder of AuthoredUp. She shares her journey in starting the company and the lessons she learned along the way. She also discusses the importance of understanding customer needs and providing value, as well as the challenges of selling to end users versus agencies. Takeaways Understand customer needs and provide value to build a strong brand and position in the market. Focus on the customer and their pain points, and continuously improve based on feedback. Selling to end users requires a different approach than selling to agencies, and it's important to understand the specific needs of each customer segment. Launching globally from the beginning can provide valuable insights into different markets and user preferences. Bootstrapping can allow for more control over the company and product development, but it requires careful financial management. Building a strong onboarding process and providing support can help users quickly understand and benefit from the product. Developing free tools and providing value to the community can help build brand awareness and attract new users. AuthoredUp allows users to save and repurpose posts for future use. The tool provides analytics and suggestions for the best time to post on LinkedIn. Personalization is a key aspect of AuthoredUp, with more personalized features to come.

In this episode, Thorben reflects on a team that had reached a breaking point when it grew to 20+ members.

BRAND NEW Stick 2 Hockey LIVE Season 3 Episode 75 with Jason Myrtetus and Anthony DiMarco. Discussion on the Flyers goal scoring woes of late. Trade speculation regarding Sean Walker and Morgan Frost. Lack of Team Size, Power Play struggles continue and tons more.

Antonio Volante, CEO of the Volante Group, has been in recruitment for the past 24 years, with the last 11 years spent building his own recruitment business. He specializes in the public sector, mostly in mid to senior positions in finance and HR.  Considering the length of experience he has, Antonio had his own system. He had a single way of doing things — until he realized that his business wasn't growing.  Antonio was used to doing everything in the business. He was too much of a perfectionist and thought that he was the best person to do the job. Of course, perfectionism can be considered a strength because you get to set the standards on how you want the business to run. The problem is it can also get in the way of growth.  When Antonio finally realized that he needed to change something to make his business grow, he signed up for the Rockit program and finally saw the growth he was waiting to happen.   He realized that doing everything all at once made him lose his focus. He grabbed every single business opportunity that came his way and had a long list of things to be done. He had no time to focus on actually growing the business. But when he decided to let go of his old thinking, he started to shift his focus.   With a new team in tow, he started to focus on defining a specific target market. Then, he let go of some of his tasks and passed them on to the capable hands of his team. That became a game-changer for him, helping him realize that all he needed to do was to trust other people.  Now, Antonio is finally seeing the growth he always wanted. He has doubled the turnover after tripling his team size and is now earning more than he could have imagined.   Tune in to this episode to discover how knowing where to put your focus can help you grow your team, grow your business, and grow your income.     “As new business people, we're always thinking, it's important to have more. More is more. But actually sometimes, less is more.” - Antonio Volante    In this episode, Antonio talks about:  How he got started in the recruitment space The challenge of having to do everything yourself The problem with not having a specific focus in terms of target market How completing an activity inventory changed the way his business was run How he shifted his focus when he realized that the majority of his business was coming from one sector How hiring a resourcer and business development consultant made his business model more efficient The importance of learning to let go, especially of certain beliefs and processes that you've gotten used to The value of having a supportive community around you as you run your recruitment business How the Rockit program helped him come up with more effective strategies in growing his business And so much more!   Resource Mentioned:   Volante Group   Connect with Antonio Volante:  LinkedIn   Connect with Katy and Nicky:  Website Facebook YouTube

With a belief that the core of selling lies in connecting with people, David aimed to recruit the best salespeople regardless of where they lived. Over the years, SalesRoads has worked with a wide range of companies, from seed stage startups to established organizations, helping them accelerate their sales and generate more top-of-the-funnel appointments.

He introduces his guest, David Kreiger, and mentions that they will be discussing appointment setting strategies using phone calls over email. 00:01:33 - About SalesRoads, David Kreiger shares that he is the president of SalesRoads, a company that specializes in SDR outsourcing and appointment setting. He explains that SalesRoads was founded with the goal of creating a distributed inside sales team that can recruit the best salespeople regardless of location. 00:04:23 - Impressive Case Studies, David highlights some of the impressive case studies of companies SalesRoads has worked with, ranging from seed stage startups to established companies like Paylocity and Samsung. He emphasizes their focus on generating top-of-the-funnel appointments to drive sales. 00:05:46 - Fun Fact, David shares a fun fact about himself, revealing that he was almost killed by a yo-yo when he was younger.

David explains why he believes phone calls remain a powerful tool in today's digital age, emphasizing the human connection and the ability to understand prospects' pain points. He also mentions that phone calls can be less cluttered 00:15:23 - Understanding Persona-Based Messaging, Developing a value proposition based on the unique challenges and pains of each persona is essential for effective sales. Tailoring your messaging to address the specific needs of each individual will lead to better engagement and success in selling. 00:16:41 - The Importance of Preparation and Practice, While you don't want to sound scripted, being prepared and knowing what you want to say is crucial. Practice and develop your messaging to ensure you can articulate it effectively to different personas. 00:18:36 - The Role of Data in Sales Prospecting, Good data hygiene is vital for successful sales prospecting. Utilizing tools like Apollo, Lucia, Seamless, and ZoomInfo can provide data, but it's important to verify its accuracy and engage in manual data mining to ensure the information is up to date. 00:21:44 - Creative Lead Generation Strategies, Sometimes existing lists don't meet your specific criteria. In these cases, creative strategies like web scraping can be employed to find the right leads. Additionally, combining multiple data providers and waterfalling leads can help improve accuracy and increase the chances of success. 00:23:16 - Prospecting for Small Businesses, Outbound prospecting can be done by small businesses, but it requires a strategic approach and investment in good data, a sales acceleration platform, and the necessary time and resources. Doing it right is more important than rushing into it and wasting time and money. 00:30:57 - The Importance of Personalization in Sales Outreach, David Kreiger highlights the importance of personalization in sales outreach. He advises that while it may be more effective to send personalized messages to a smaller number of high-value prospects, for larger teams targeting a larger number of leads, it is more efficient to personalize the approach rather than customizing every single message. He emphasizes the need for brief and focused messaging that addresses the specific challenges and interests of the prospect. 00:32:24 - Customization vs Personalization Based on Team Size, David explains that the approach to customization and personalization should depend on the size of the team and the number of leads they are targeting. For smaller teams and high-value accounts, customization and deep research are recommended. However, for SDRs with a larger set of leads, being personal and personalized without customizing every message is more effective. The focus should be on asking relevant questions and providing value in a concise manner. 00:34:10 - The PVC Sales Methodology, Mario Martinez Jr. introduces the PVC sales methodology, which stands for personalization, value, and a call to action. He provides examples of how personalization can be done on an individual level, such as referencing a prospect's shared interest in a message.

He emphasizes the importance of finding and connecting with key gatekeepers to increase sales opportunities. 00:45:52 - The Challenges of Virtual Communication, The guest discusses the challenges of virtual communication and the lack of personal interaction in today's business environment. He acknowledges the difficulty of reaching decision-makers without the assistance of receptionists and highlights the role of platforms like LinkedIn in connecting with prospects. 00:46:21 - The Hardest Job in Sales, The guest believes that the hardest job in sales is prospecting. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the CXO's perspective and the roles of various stakeholders. He suggests that prospecting will become easier as the sales environment evolves. 00:46:55 - Emerging Trends in Sales Development, The guest mentions two emerging trends in sales development: the experimentation with full cycle Account Executive Sales (AES) and the integration of AI in sales processes. He advises caution in relying solely on AI and encourages leveraging it while curating and refining its use. 00:49:26 - Best Way to Connect with the Guest, The guest shares that the best way to connect with him is through LinkedIn, where he is very active and responsive.

Build Lasting Relationships and Close More Sales The podcast episode highlights the importance of forging strong relationships to achieve sales success.

This rapport builds trust and paves the way for a deeper connection with potential clients, reducing the sales cycle time and increasing conversion rates. Maximize Prospecting Efforts with an Omnichannel Approach An omnichannel approach to prospecting is discussed throughout this podcast, emphasizing the need to tailor communication channels to each prospect's preferences for optimal results.

Whitney Hill is an expert in the field of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Just three years ago, she had never even heard of one. However, due to the passing of regulations in California, Whitney quickly became knowledgeable and experienced in this area. ADUs are standalone homes built on residential lots that already have a single or multi-family dwelling. California's regulations allow for the construction of ADUs ranging from 1000 to 1500 square feet, depending on local regulations. Whitney's specialization is in the design and construction of standalone detached ADUs, focusing on new construction rather than renovations or conversions. Her company has become an infill developer, exclusively focused on creating small homes between 500 and 1200 square feet in size. Whitney has witnessed a significant increase in demand for these housing units and is passionate about providing sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

In this podcast I’d like to talk about the implications of team size on social interactions and coordination within, and between, organisational teams. The problem for teams is that the relationship between team size and interaction volume is exponential. This relationship is defined by Bossard’s Law of Interaction, and its described by a simple formula. Where N is the number of people in the team... interaction volume = N(N-1) / 2. The podcast explains this relationship but if you'd also like to see it in pictures you can visit the podcast on my website Thanks for visiting. Do let me know if you have any questions, or comments.

In this episode, I discuss the ideal size for an Agile/Scrum team. It is a frequent question when organizations first begin adopting Agile.

And now, here’s your host: Ronnie Andrews Jr.Hello everyone and welcome to the All Things Agile Podcast Episode 2 Remix. Today’s topic will be ‘Ideal Agile Team Sizes’. But before we begin, quick reminder that this podcast is for informational purposes only and accepts no legal liability. So let’s get started.For the context of this episode, I’ll focus on Scrum, since it’s a very popular form of Agile. We’ll cover other implementations, such as Kanban in separate episodes. That being said, Ideal Team Size is a popular subject and many newcomers ask about team sizes when they’re first learning Agile. Corporate leaders also struggle with the topic when they try to roll out Agile and form team in their organization.People are curious how big is too big? Or how small is too small? What are the implications? I’ve often been asked what team sizes do I personally recommend? For Scrum, the longstanding recommendation is 7 team members – plus or minus 2; so that’s 5-9 members. However, the product owner and Scrum Master boost the total count to 9-11. Now, some coaches may or may not include the product owner and Scrum Master when factoring in the team sizes. But I certainly do. So what specific size do I recommend?Well, based on a hands-on experience across numerous teams, I believe that 10 is a great number to be at. That is 8 team members, plus the Scrum Master and the product owner for a total team count of 10. That is a number that’s in-between the recommendation and one that I have found to be a sweet spot for Scrum teams at many different organizations. If your team, however is too small, it can certainly cause problems.The reason is that people are wearing too many hats. For example, I do not recommend that Scrum Masters and product owners double up on roles. So for example if you have a product owner or Scrum Master who’s also a critical path contributor on a story, it can be a disaster. So an example would be the Scrum Master working on a story and that story gets in deep trouble and they need to dig deep into it, and then what do they do? So an example would be the Scrum Master working on a story and that story gets in deep trouble and they need to dig deep into it, and then what do they do? Maybe let go of some of their other Scrum Master duties? And then the entire team suffers and other stories suffer.People need to be able to concentrate on their given role. It’s been my personal experience that if you allow the product owner and Scrum Master to focus on those roles which they should, they’ll be good at them and the entire team benefits because those roles act as multipliers. Now, I especially don’t recommend that the same person serve as both the Scrum master and the product owner. It’s a conflict of interest and I have rarely seen it work out well. Most of the time, it’s also a disaster. It is a constant temptation by business leaders, foolishly trying to cut corners by understaffing the teams. When the team is too small, people may not be able to focus on their core gifts. They also get burned out quickly.Please remember that one of the principles of Scrum is to build a sustainable, well-functioning team. If you undercut your team, don’t be surprised if you end up with attrition. And I can promise you this: the most talented people will be the first to go, because they have options and they will exercise them. Now, there’s also yet another great reason why you should not shortchange your team size and that’s risk. If you have a small team, it increases your risk profile. If a single team member departs, goes on vacation, has a flat tire, whatever – the team can be in deep trouble. There’s no margin for the team to absorb bumps in the road. If a team is too small, it’s also more likely to have ‘siloed’ knowledge which is an additional risk for the same reasons.Now, I hope these points have made it abundantly clear that an understaffed team is a bad idea for everyone involved, including the customers receiving the product. Adversely, a team size that is too large can also be a challenge. Simply put, the larger the team, the more coordination is required to provide sanity. In my experience, the effectiveness of a larger team is directly proportional to the savviness of its Scrum master. A talented Scrum master may provide more effective, shall we say ‘glue’ to hold the larger team together.That said, an extremely large team is still a bad idea. And not one that I endorse. For example, as the size expands, so does the team’s Scrum ceremonies. The daily Scrum meetings or standups become a tiresome chore. It simply takes more time to process so many team members and what they’re working on, which applies to all the team ceremonies. So with very large teams, there’s also a greater risk for destructive conflict. A lack of unity, or cohesiveness. I have seen large teams form factions within the team. That situation breaks down trust and ultimately, destroys productivity.So why do I recommend a total team count of 10? On average, for Scrum, candidly – it’s a middle ground. It mitigates most of the downsize discussed earlier; there are enough members to reduce risk and prevent burnout. However, there are not so many members that it becomes unwieldy. It’s also a great size for conducting team ceremonies and co-location. It’s very doable to locate the 10 members together, such as a row of cubes or a conference room they can share. In my experience, proximity really does matter. Wise organizations understand this point and make the effort to do so. By keeping people close together, you’ll be amazed at how it improves team communication. And I’ve heard stories in the past about ‘Oh, well we can’t afford to relocate people where they’re sitting because it will cost too much’. That’s simply not true. In fact, it will cost you more money not to, in terms of lost productivity and software quality. It is absolutely worth it to try to co-locate your teams as much as possible.Now, I won’t say that the team size absolutely has to be 10 members. It’s simply a target to aim for. A rule of thumb, derived from my personal experience, along with the opportunity of watching literally dozens and dozens of other teams in their Agile journey. Selecting a team size at or around 10 will enable the teams to succeed, rather than setting them up for failure. Now, we can’t 100% guarantee success, but we certainly can position the team to win. That summarizes a few quick points regarding ideal team size. I certainly hope you found them useful. Remember, you can check out my blog using the website agileinstructor.com.
