According to the State of Sales Enablement 2024, 31% of industry leaders see consistent pipeline generation as a key priority. So how can you effectively leverage your tech stack to drive pipeline growth and maximize revenue generation? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Here to discuss this topic is Alyssa Sigafus, sales enablement and host B2B marketing manager at Lifetouch. Thank you so much for joining us, Alyssa. As we get started, I’d love if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role at Lifetouch today.  Alyssa Sigafus: Sounds good. Thanks Riley. Super excited to be here. So my name’s Alyssa Fuss. I’ve been at Lifetouch for the past three years as our sales enablement marketing manager focusing on the host side, which is like our schools and B2B side of the business. Personally, I have one daughter, two dogs, my husband and I, we live in central, Northern Minnesota. So we love the winter in the cold. Something I like to do in my free time, I make a lot of sourdough bread. But I’ve been in sales enablement for the past little over a decade now, and sales support is kind of the thing that I just really have loved and have loved working with all of the tools and things like that, and just seeing teams succeed from support. RR: Amazing. Well, we are so excited to have you today because of that experience and because of that passion for just helping people succeed, we wanna know how you’re doing it. So we’ve got a lot to talk about starting maybe with some of the priorities that are top of mind for you today. So in your work at Lifetouch, what are some of those key go-to-market initiatives that you’re focused on driving for the business? AS: Awesome. Yeah. At Lifetouch, some of my go-to market focus is all about driving growth and equipping our sales team to essentially, you know, win. This means arming sellers with right tools, messaging, and using data to fine tune our approach, keeping our sales, marketing and operations like tightly aligned and pulled together. This has really helped us build that go to market motion that’s really fast focus and most importantly, customer driven. RR: Awesome. I think, you know, you ask anyone in a go-to-market role about their priorities and things like growth, pipeline revenue, those are the things that are gonna come up. It’s inevitable. They’re core to the business and they’re what’s gonna be top of mind for you. So knowing that, of course those are top of mind for you, what are maybe some of those common recurring challenges that organizations like yours maybe face when trying to achieve those goals? AS: Good question. I think the real challenge isn’t necessarily generating leads. It’s consistently attracting the right ones and moving them to close quickly. So building on this, for our business, specifically Lifetouch school photography, we have a defined set of leads. For example, there are only so many schools in US and Canada, so we have focused on creating like email templates, content that help sellers identify what content the leads are interested in that help that move quickly through their sales cycle and to close. RR: Yeah, I think that’s really interesting knowing that you’re, you know, you’re kind of constrained in a way that some businesses aren’t, so you need to work a little bit more strategically and a little bit smarter to find those right candidates, essentially. From your experience, what are some of the tactics that you’ve seen work to overcome those challenges and enable reps to create more opportunities and achieve those goals that, you know, everyone is thinking about? AS: Hmm, yeah, to help reps create more of those opportunities and then boost those conversion rates. I really focus on a few key practices. The first one’s targeted collateral. We really try to ensure that our reps have UpToDate marketing aligned materials that support their conversations by persona, by industry and stage of the funnel. For us, it’s truly just, you know, education schools, that kind of thing. The second is peer learning. I’ve kind of call it our monthly level up that we do every month with our sellers. And we kind of share best practices. We talk about what’s working, we share what tools have come out or pieces of collateral that have come out in the last month, what we’re looking forward to. Um, sometimes we bring other operations members or other marketing members in to talk about some of the things that are continuing to help support them. And then the last part I really focus on is content alignment. So we regularly audit. Update our sales content to ensure consistency with current messaging and our campaign priorities. RR: Well, it seems like you guys are kind of checking the box on all of the key things to build that really functional engine. We try. It’s always a process and it’s always that never feel like we’re doing enough, but we have heard that you guys are doing some really cool things and we are gonna dig into that in a second, but one thing I did wanna touch on is something that you mentioned earlier of one of the things that drew you to enablement and that you enjoy is the tooling and figuring out what works. So on the subject of enablement technology, what would you say is that strategic advantage of a unified platform in all of the work that you just talked us through? AS: Unified enablement platform accelerates revenue by putting the right content, tools and insights in the rep’s hands when they need them. So really equipping them at the right times, at the right materials. It ensures like consistent messaging, driving that efficiency and gives teams the data, which is something that a lot of people miss, uh, the highest value opportunities that they have. It also gives us a consistent way to measure their success that reps have. The content that we’re using to best share those practices amongst the leaders in the areas so everyone can benefit. RR: I think that all sounds great. I know one thing that you are doing specifically is using digital rooms to scale your outreach. We’ve heard that your reps have, and these are some kind of crazy numbers, just to preface for our listeners, we’ve heard that your reps have created over 2, 600 digital rooms and seen over a hundred thousand external views. Two things there that I’d love to know. How has this strategy kind of impacted your outreach and then for those who would wanna replicate it, how did you do it? How’d you make that happen? AS: Oh, well, using digital rooms have scaled our personalized outreach, driving that higher engagement and faster pipeline movement. Key best practices for us include that tailoring content, keeping our messaging clear, and using analytics to boost results and guide the sellers conversations and timing of their outreach. For an example, we found some of our sellers. Will share a digital room before they have a presentation with a customer, and then the seller will look to see the content that’s being viewed, and then they can tailor their presentation to see what that customer has been looking at. Mostly to make sure in their presentation that they are talking about those points that they’re really digging into. RR: Amazing. I would just love to know, how did you build that high adoption? How did you get reps bought in? I know it’s never easy to drive that behavior change, but how did you get them seeing the value of this? AS: I think honestly the way that we did training is we really built those steps of starting at pitching, moving to some of those other higher like video recording and talking about that really personalized approach. And then we kind of ended with the training part of digital rooms as like the crown jewel of the things that they have access to and they really got excited about it having those months. Like connections, really taking the time to meet with them regularly. When we first implemented this to our entire sales team, we met with them every single week for, you know, an hour with each chin of the us, which we split it into three. So they got an hour with the enablement team every single week, and then continued to meet, we still continued to meet monthly with all of the teams, um, and showing those things. But the digital rooms, they were so excited about. It’s personal. They can, you know. Co-brand them with the school and have those logos on there and auto enable feature that you have where if we update a piece of content, it’ll automatically just push through as we update the version. It’s been such a game changer for them. They love it. RR: Well, it sounds like you’ve really done a good job then of. Building that confidence. They saw the value, but you’ve taught them to use it well, and you’ve put a lot of work into doing so, and you’re seeing that kind of impact now. And that kind of feeds into the next question I had for you, which is that something that underlies successful buyer engagement is rep confidence. And you’ve shared that you’ve seen a. 77% increase in rep confidence after leveraging Highspot. So could you walk us through how you achieved that and then maybe how that boost in confidence is helping reps perform better when they’re having these conversations with schools. AS: So by giving them that instant access to the right content and guidance through Highspot, this is really just. Resulted in more of that effective buyer interactions, that faster pipeline progression, and which moves to the higher conversion rates. When they see that someone has opened their email and they’re already looking at that content with that pitch, or they’ve already gone into that digital room, it really just makes them excited. So they’re just more eager to continue to jump in. They can instantly have that instant gratification and you know. Excited about and keep going. RR: Awesome. Well, I think that’s one of those things that tends to work right for your sales folks is you’re doing the right thing. It’s helping you achieve what you want to, and now you know that you can go run and continue pursuing it. And they see it.  AS: They see it in action. It’s been really fun. RR: Yeah. I mean, I know when I share my digital rooms, you get that ping and you’re like, ah, I can go do the thing. It’s amazing, right? I think that, you know, more confident reps is kind of what everybody is trying to achieve. Better buyer engagement. They’re all key goals. It seems like you guys are making progress against those goals, but I’d be curious to know how you’re using data insights, all of the things that Highspot allows you to do to inform and maybe improve these programs that you’re leading. AS: The insights have led us track engagement, optimize our messaging and focus reps on the opportunities that matter the most, turning data into faster pipeline growth and higher conversions. So we had said, I said earlier, we do those monthly level ups. So not only do we connect on the content and pieces that are, you know, working and not working, we also connect on the data and work with our sales team to make sure everyone understands their performance. How the content is performing, what’s working, what’s not, and then additionally seeing the things that are not working to help tailor their approach and help improve and shape the way that they’re using their Digital Rooms and just pitching in general with the content that we provide. RR: Okay, so thinking then of, of. Data and these monthly syncs that you do to kind of check, Hey, what are we doing well? What do we need to kind of pull back on? I’d love to know, since implementing Highspot and as you’ve been doing these continual gut checks, what results have you seen? What successes have you encountered and maybe any wins you could share or achievements that you’re particularly proud of? AS: So there’s a couple of sides to this. So there’s obviously the physical data side, right? And then the emotional side of it for our sellers, the first one we’ve really been digging into our sales force and kind of comparing and trying to get some more deeper data. Highspot has really helped with some of those pieces. The number one thing I think has been most exciting is seeing that sales cycle shorten, cut it in half is the most common that we’ve seen, but. There’s been times it’s gone down to even from start to finish within 48 hours, and that’s not every single sales, but I’ve actually watched it gone out and done my own ride-alongs and seen they’ve sent the digital room in the pitch and it goes to like, we’re talking about this and we’ve got a contract in your hand. So it’s been really exciting for them to have that. Sales cycle, shorten, they can use their time more effectively and things like that. And then the emotional side, you just really see them, the morale of it, the improved morale. It’s helping them feel supported by their operations, marketing, sales enablement teams, and, and it just really helps us be really great teamwork together and move forward faster. RR: I love that kind of twofold breakdown of what are we actually seeing and then how are we feeling with it? I’m so happy to hear that both sides are positive. The data’s helping you track up and everybody’s feeling a little bit more confident in their work. So for other enablement and marketing leaders that are looking to use digital rooms in the way that life touches, to streamline that outreach, create more opportunities, drive better pipeline growth, what is one, two pieces of advice you’d give them to really help them be successful? AS: My advice is to really take the time to fully explore the platform, support your team throughout the rollout, and then thoughtful deployment and building user confidence will drive adoption and impact regular check-ins. Sharing best practices will lead to that long-term success. RR: Amazing advice. Tidy, short, to the point. Be thoughtful, be intentional. It’s gonna lead you to success every time. Well, I have to, before we close this out, just again say thank you so much for joining us. This is a really great conversation. You guys are doing such incredible work and I’m really happy we got to dig into it a little bit.  AS: Well, thank you, Riley, we have been so excited to have Highspot and it’s been really a game changer for us. So thank you guys.  RR: Incredible. To our audience, thank you so much 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.

Welcome to the Celestial Insights Podcast, the show that brings the stars down to Earth! Each week, astrologer, coach, and intuitive Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste will be your guide. Her website is astrologybyceleste.com.  

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs sits down with Chris Grainger, co-founder and CTO of Amplified and creator of the Explorer library. Chris explains how Explorer brings the familiar data-frame workflows of R's dplyr and Python's pandas into the Elixir world. We explore (pun intended!) how Explorer integrates with Ecto, Nx, and LiveView to build end-to-end data pipelines without leaving the BEAM, and how features like lazy evaluation and distributed frames let you tackle large datasets. Whether you're generating reports or driving interactive charts in LiveView, Explorer makes tabular data accessible to every Elixir developer. We wrap up by looking ahead to SQL-style backends, ADBC connectivity, and other features on the Explorer roadmap. Key topics discussed in this episode: dplyr- and pandas-inspired data manipulation in Elixir Polars integration via Rust NIFs for blazing performance Immutable data frames and BEAM-friendly concurrency Lazy evaluation to work with arbitrarily large tables Distributed data-frame support for multi-node processing Seamless integration with Ecto schemas and queries Zero-copy interoperability between Explorer and Nx tensors Apache Arrow and ADBC protocols for cross-language I/O Exploring SQL-style backends for remote query execution Building interactive dashboards and charts in LiveView Consolidating ETL workflows into a single Elixir API Streaming data pipelines for memory-efficient processing Tidy data principles and behavior-based API design Real-world use cases: report generation, patent analysis, and more Future roadmap: new backends, query optimizations, and community plugins Links mentioned: https://hexdocs.pm/explorer/Explorer.html https://www.amplified.ai/ https://www.r-project.org/ https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/tidy-data.pdf https://www.tidyverse.org/ https://www.python.org/ https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/ https://go.dev/ https://hexdocs.pm/nx/Nx.html https://github.com/pola-rs/polars https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler https://www.rust-lang.org/ https://www.postgresql.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch https://arrow.apache.org/ Chris Grainger & Chris McCord Keynote ElixirConf 2024: https://youtu.be/4qoHPh0obv0 https://dbplyr.tidyverse.org/ https://spark.posit.co/ https://hexdocs.pm/pythonx/Pythonx.html https://hexdocs.pm/vegalite/VegaLite.html 10 Minutes to Explorer: https://hexdocs.pm/explorer/exploringexplorer.html https://github.com/elixir-nx/scholar https://scikit-learn.org/stable/ https://github.com/cigrainger https://erlef.org/slack-invite/erlef https://bsky.app/profile/cigrainger.bsky.social https://github.com/cigrainger

Aileen Crean O'Brien is part of a programme that rewards Kenmare tourists who help out. Athy band IF have featured on the Netflix series 'Ginny and Georgia'. Brian Wilson, the legendary musician and Beach Boys co-founder died yesterday aged 82. John Lenihan had over €1,000 worth of electric fencing stolen from his farm.

In this final minisode of the season (Don't worry; there's still one more full episode on the way!), Stacy returns from Japan with tales of train travel, city-hopping, and family time. Each region had its own personality, and seeing the country through her son's eyes made the trip even more memorable. Meanwhile, Daniel's been deep in renovation mode, helping another friend prepare a nursery. The room's first iteration was a hands-on learning experience, complete with a slightly crooked level and a few design choices that didn't turn out quite as planned. Now it's time to undo, redo, and simplify, and let's just say Daniel's tolerance for anything finicky is… limited. He prefers tools that work straight out of the box, not ones that need calibration and coaxing. He and Stacy also compare notes on gardening—what's working, what's not, and why the weeds always seem one step ahead. Plus, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who tuned in this season.

Hi friend!  Are you tired of tripping over the pile of shoes or backpacks that inevitably pile up near the front door or spill out of the laundry room? Do you constantly get bogged down by the endless pile of papers that accumulate on your kitchen countertops? Do you wonder why you can't ever find the thing that you're certain you already owned?  It might not be a MESSY or an ORGANIZING problem...it might be a SYSTEM problem.  In today's episode I'm walking you through 5 simple steps for recognizing problem areas in your home that spill over into messiness and make you feel disorganized.  1. Identify your high traffic zones. Those are usually the culprits for the cogs in the wheel - the messy or unorganized places.  2. Disect the problem in that area. What's currently happening that isn't working.  3. Identify HOW you want that space to function for you. How can it work harder for you and not you for it.  4. Start making a plan for remediation - really thinking about what it is you need (or already have) in order to solve this problem.  5. Execute!  Bonus tips are included for when motivation at this stage is now the cog in your execution wheel.  Do you want help making your space feel more functional AND beautiful?

Little Luxuries:Peace and quietHigh-speed InternetGood quality coffeeNext day deliveryGrocery deliveryGood quality skincareA TV show with no adsRobot vacuum cleanersHaving an after-dinner treatAir fryerLetting Your Kids Plan Your VacationNew research suggests that allowing your kids to have a say in planning a family vacation is the way to make it better.According to a new survey, 82% of parents say their best trips happened when their kids helped with planning it.That may be why 22% have actually let their school-age child plan every detail of a vacation.⠀Moms and dads have learned that when kids are involved in planning, they help with activities (89%), and restaurants (54%), and make sure that the trip involves things their kid likes (76%).And the kids are up for the task, as 86% of them want to be more involved in planning family vacations and 53% want to plan as much of the trip as possible.So, what would a kid's dream vacation look like?

Clean your sheets, empty the trash, and clear the fridge, so you get to return home to a welcoming space instead of chaos.After you return - Give yourself a day (or two) to unpack and reset before diving back into work and obligations.Keep the joy alive - Plan little treats like a night out, a new recipe, or a cozy evening at home to recreate those memorable vacation moments.Listen to the blues - If your mood lingers or you think it might be a sign of some bigger issues, consider what changes you might need to make, and reach out for help if it feels like it's more than just a passing slump.Second Date Update: Greg takes Lissa on a date in Soma. The weather was great, eh even wore shorts. Did that have something to do with her ghost?

Send us a textHey Self-Reflection family! Lira Ndifon here, and in this powerful episode, we're going beyond the buzzwords and diving deep into practical, game-changing strategies to protect and nurture your mental health, long after Mental Health Awareness Month ends.Ever feel like the world's just... a lot? Stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in that overthinking loop? Lira kicks things off by revealing the transformative power of self-reflection – your personal anchor in the chaos. She shares how this simple practice has been her comfort, her grounding force, and a vital tool when life gets heavy. And if you're struggling to navigate those tough emotions solo? She reminds you that reaching out for support is a superpower, not a weakness.This isn't just theory; it's a toolkit for your well-being. We're talking about tangible actions you can implement today:Write a letter to your past self: A profound exercise to acknowledge your journey, celebrate your resilience, and offer the wisdom you wish you had back then.Declutter your digital life: Learn why unfollowing that one draining account (yes, even if it's mine!) is a non-negotiable for your peace of mind.Embrace the power of silence: Just five minutes. No notifications, no music, no scrolling. Discover what your mind and body tell you in stillness.Revisit your happy place: Dive back into that old song, show, or memory that made you feel safe and seen. Let nostalgia heal and remind you how far you've come.Curb the screen time overload: Give your brain a much-needed break from constant input and discover the freedom that comes with less scrolling and more living.Affirm your worth: Speak positive affirmations out loud. Hear your own voice remind you that you are not broken, just navigating.Practice radical self-forgiveness: Release the shame and blame for how you've coped. Embrace compassion and remind yourself that growth takes time.Tidy your sanctuary: How cleaning your physical space can literally shift your mindset and invite the emotions you desire into your life.Embrace the tears: Why crying isn't weakness, but a powerful release that sets you free from trapped emotions.Do one thing just for joy: Break free from the need for productivity and indulge in an activity that simply feels good, no reason required.Lira underscores that healing isn't a tedious chore; it's a gentle, playful, lifelong journey found in the small, everyday acts of self-love. Your mental health isn't just important; it's relying on you to be human, to set boundaries, to detach from the external noise, and to embrace freedom.Don't miss this essential guide to prioritizing the most important person in your life: YOU. Remember: love yourself, like yourself, appreciate who you are, because parts of you are perfect. If not all of you is perfect.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Why is it that no one thanks you for emptying the dishwasher… but when someone else does it, it's seen as a big deal?In this episode, I'm diving into something we don't talk about enough — the mental load that women carry, especially when it comes to home organization. If you've ever wondered why decluttering feels so hard, or why tidying never seems to stick no matter how many times you try, this might be the conversation you didn't know you needed.We'll explore why asking for help at home still feels taboo, how shame creeps into our clutter, and what it really takes to create lasting change when you're short on time, energy, and support.You'll hear how I went from managing everything on my own — to building systems that actually work, and finding freedom through support, intentional routines, and a whole new perspective on home life.If you're trying to declutter with no time, tired of doing it all solo, or craving real, practical organizing support rooted in the KonMari method and real life… this episode is for you.This is about more than just tidying. It's about overcoming overwhelm, reclaiming your space, and remembering: you were never meant to do this alone.I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here. Thanks for listening!

In the news this morning, an update on the Wisconsin judge that was arrested on Friday, an update on the storms moving into our area later today, the latest on the vehicle attack in Vancouver over the weekend, and a Wisconsin dentist shot dead over a loud-music dispute.

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woodpecker that was doing some serious damage to a bunch of vehicles in Massachusetts, a Southwest Airlines passenger who got naked & took a juicy shit on the seat of the plane, a woman who ended up with a snake in her margarita, and a guy who was hiding weed-filled Easter eggs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tackling the age-old parenting challenge of getting kids to do their chores requires a systematic approach rather than nagging or giving up. We explore a six-step process focused on bedroom cleanup that can transform your family's approach to household responsibilities.• Breaking down "clean your room" into specific tasks like making the bed, putting clothes in hamper, and picking up toys• Creating separate lists for daily versus weekly tasks to make expectations more manageable• Letting children choose when they'll complete their chores (morning, evening, specific days for weekly tasks)• Setting up clear consequences tied to things kids value rather than making up punishments in the moment• Working as a team with your children to create the system rather than imposing it on them• Taking a focused approach by solving one area at a time rather than trying to fix all chore problems simultaneouslyTry this approach with bedrooms first, then apply what works to other areas of your home. Remember we're experimenting together with our kids to find what works for our unique family.LINK to "Energy Drain Ideas" on Mary's website: ENERGY DRAIN IDEASEmail me at info@parentingdecoded.com or go to my website at www.parentingdecoded.com.

Dana K White, the creator of A Slob Comes Clean, and author of many books on how to go from chaotic and cluttered brings such a unique perspective to Episode 126 of the Restoriaton Home. At the core of her message is the gospel truth that being clean and tidy doesn't bring you any closer to God, and being messy and chaotic doesn't push you farther away from Him. As Dana says: this isn't an excuse to have a messy house, but it should remove shame and remind us that nothing we do or don't do can add or detract from God's love for us and presence in our lives.  As we deal with the shame around whatever perceived lack we are operating in, we can begin to build those small habits and changes that will transform our external world to be more orderly, peaceable, and pleasant to be in. Dana's website, books, and Instagram are full of simple, gentle ways to start transforming your life one small piece at a time.  God is not in a rush with our process and neither should we be.  This podcast is made possible by the Peaceful Press!
