Podcasts about win business

Law firms sell experience — but for decades, harnessing and operationalizing that experience has been a largely manual, chaotic process. In this episode, recorded live at the Legal Marketing Association annual conference in New Orleans, host Bob Ambrogi sits down with Jason Noble, president and chief of product strategy at Ikaun, to talk about how his company is changing that. Ikaun is a managed service and technology platform that helps law firms streamline the proposal and RFP response process — from capturing and organizing matter experience data to using AI to assemble and draft competitive pitches. Jason explains how the platform works, how the arrival of generative AI transformed what was previously possible, and why Ikaun positions itself as a managed service rather than a self-serve SaaS tool. Jason and Bob also get into the bigger picture of how law firms are responding to AI-driven changes in the competitive landscape, whether the billable hour can survive in an AI-augmented world, and whether the RFP process itself will look the same in the years ahead — or whether we're moving toward a future where agents are submitting and responding to proposals with minimal human involvement.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

The founder of RISR describes how advisors can position themselves to attract, and deliver more value to, business owners. Host: Steve Sanduski, CFP. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dan Nathan and Jeff Richards (Managing Partner at Notable Capital) discuss shifting AI narratives and market crosscurrents, focusing on OpenAI, Anthropic (which Notable backs), xAI, Gemini, and Microsoft's Copilot. Richards argues Claude/Cowork's breakout and rapid model improvement are forcing every software company to ask whether its product improves as models improve, while public-market uncertainty has pressured SaaS valuations even as enterprise AI demand accelerates. He says net-new IT spend is increasingly flowing to private AI companies with consumption-based pricing, while incumbents face the Innovator's Dilemma and pricing cannibalization. They also cover cloud infrastructure demand, opaque private-company financials, IPO considerations, and how volatility and redemption dynamics in private credit are weighing on alt managers like Apollo, KKR, and Blackstone, though Richards expects any issues to be relatively contained.

Live from Future Proof, I sat down with Jason Early, Founder and CEO of RISR — an AI platform that's helping financial advisors rethink how they serve business-owner clients.Here's the truth: for most entrepreneurs, their business is their biggest asset — but most advisors just ask, “What's it worth?” jot down a guess, and move on. Jason and his team built RISR around a simple belief: business owners deserve better advice, and the advisors who serve them need better tools to give it.RISR connects directly to a company's financials, uses AI to generate real-time valuations, and gives advisors the insights they need to guide clients through growth, succession, and exit planning. It helps advisors have the right conversations — earlier — so they're there long before the liquidity event, not chasing it after the fact.In this conversation, Jason shares how top advisors are using RISR to win business-owner clients, deepen relationships, and deliver the kind of advice that builds lasting trust.3 of the biggest insights from Jason Early…#1.) How Top Advisors Are Using RISR to Stand OutAdvisors aren't just running valuations, they're using RISR to open doors, deepen trust, and win business-owner clients long before a liquidity event. By showing up with real data on what the client's business is worth, advisors shift the conversation from “asset management” to “business strategy.” It's helping them justify planning fees, spark succession discussions, and position themselves as the quarterback for every major decision that impacts the owner's wealth and legacy.#2.) The Truth About Business Valuation (and Why It's Usually Wrong)Most business owners miscalculate what their company is worth — often by millions. Jason breaks down why, from owner dependency and client concentration to “country club math” and non-normalized EBITDA. He also explains how objective valuation data brings alignment between partners and families, turning tough money talks into clarity.#3.) What Every Advisor Should Know About Succession & Exit PlanningBusiness owners rarely plan their exits well. Jason explains how advisors can use valuation insights to build readiness conversations, prevent conflict between partners, and even influence deal outcomes. These are high-trust, high-value planning opportunities that position advisors as long-term strategic partners — not just investment managers.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/142FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

Selling to companies in Japan usually means sitting in a meeting room with a single buyer or perhaps two people.  There are occasions though where we may need to present to a larger number of buyers in a more formal setting.  It may be a pitch to secure the business, or it may be a means of getting the buying team more easily coordinated on their side. Before we know how to present to a team, we have to analyse the people in the team.  That means we need to know ahead of time, who will be in the room from their side.  A team comprises multiple layers of responsibility.  We might have some functional interests represented such as the Executive Buyer, Financial Buyer, User Buyer, Technical Buyer and Our Champion.  Each one has a different driver for making buying decisions.  The Executive Buyer will have a strategic vision for the organization so they are interested in opportunities and growth. We need to include the big picture here of what our solution will do to position the company into the future, as well as today.  The Financial Buyer is always interested in cash flow, no matter the size of the organisation.  They focus on the cost, the terms of the transaction and how much flexibility it can provide for them.  The User Buyer wants to know about the features, how easy is the solution to use, how reliable will it be?  The Technical Buyer is concerned about efficiency, practicality and capacity.  Usually we are in that room because of our Champion.  They are concerned about their relationships within the company, with having influence over the buying situation and gaining recognition for their efforts. Just to make it more complicated, there are also the buyer personality styles to contend with.  The Amiable who is focused on relationships and is never in a hurry to make a decision.  The Driver is the exact opposite.  They are dynamic, fast movers who just want the facts so they can make a decision and move on.  The Analtyicals want data and lots of it.  Three decimal places is fine for them.  The Expressives are bored with the nitty gritty detail, preferring the big picture.  It is possible to focus on just one group but not very wise.  The presentation should have a little something for everyone. There are also going to be attitudinal differences.  Some will Hostile, Resistant, Discontent, Ambivalent, Favourable, Supportive and Enthusiastic.  We need to get our body language meter on full throttle to read the audience and we need our Champion to give us the who's who of who is in the room, so we can anticipate where we might hit trouble. There are different levels of expertise in a team.  There will be varying levels of Experiences, Education, Biases, Problem/Positive issues, Goals, Expertise and Culture.  Before we present we need to know who is going to be in the meeting and try to understand what will be driving their reaction to what we are going to say.  We may not know this completely beforehand but we will certainly start locating people into different sectors once we get into the meeting room. We need a presenting structure which will be well regarded by the majority of people in the room.  We need an opening to grab attention, a statement of need for change, an example of the need for change and to suggest three possible solutions.  For solution one, we outline the advantages and disadvantages.  We repeat this balanced formula for solutions two and three.  We then suggest the best solution of the three, with evidence as to why it is best.  In our closing remarks we repeat the final recommendation. Selling to a buying group is fraught with difficulty, because of the massive variations in the room, as to perspectives, needs and interest.  Nevertheless we can use this structure to cover off as many of the needs in the room as possible.  We rely on our champion to brief us on who is in the room beforehand and to go around drumming up support following our presentation.  We win or lose though the quality of our preparation and our structure.  If they are both in good working order, then the chances of winning the business go up dramatically.  We won't get so many chances to present to a buying group but we need to be well prepared when we do.

Henneke didn't see herself as a writer. She didn't even think she was creative. In school, English was her worst subject. The next was Dutch, her first language. Henneke never kept a journal, never wrote a poem, never published anything. Later in life, she realised there wasn't that much magic about writing, and discovered a passion that led her to some amazing achievements: - Publishing “Blog to Win Business,” a book that was recommended as a must read for business writers by Inc.com and HuffingtonPost. - Landing an interview with Inc.com and Forbes.com on the topic of seductive writing. - Being named one of “50 Incredible Women in Marketing to Follow” by Search Engine Journal. - Writing for Sally Hogshead, a Hall of Fame speaker. Today Henneke describes herself as an "irreverent writer and educator on a mission to stamp out gobbledygook." Her courses, books, and clean-looking blog -- Enchanting Marketing -- teach both first and second language English writers how to improve their writing skills. What can we all learn about writing, blogging, and engaging storytelling from Henneke?

I'm so excited to bring you one of the very few repeat guests I've had on the show today, Laura Mayer. Laura was on the podcast about 2 years ago in Episode 78 when she talked about her courageous decision to closer her traditional business without any idea of what she was going to do next, and has spent the past several years leveraging her network and key relationships to explode her brand as a true expert in her space, develop a wildly successful growth marketing and connection business and is now the author of a brand new book Win Win: How to Create Mutually Beneficial Relationships that Grow Your Business.  Laura Meyer is growth marketing consultant and powerhouse connector - as a serial entrepreneur who has scaled multiple six- and seven figure online and offline companies over the last twenty years, Laura knows first-hand the power of relationships and their importance to business growth. Several years ago after making the hard decision to close her traditional business, without having any idea what she was going to do next. Because of that network and the relationships she had built, she was able to re-emerge as an expert of experts, a strategic marketing consultant and fractional chief marketing officer to some of the country's top influencers. In addition, she co-founded the Advance Women's Expert Network with Kelly Roach, helping hundreds of women all over the world develop powerful expert brands through community, connection and co-collaboration with others who share in their same values and spirit.   Show Notes: [2:56] - Laura made the decision to walk away from an incredibly successful photography business and franchise to start over. [4:59] - After a while in this business, Laura's intuition was that this wasn't right for her anymore. [7:30] - Sometimes we feel like we have to be cheesy and spammy, but to grow and scale a business, it isn't necessary. [8:43] - One of the hardest decisions to make is to stick it out or walk away. [10:31] - Ask yourself what a 5-year or 10-year version of you would think about these decisions. [12:24] - Genuine relationships are now what makes the difference, when in previous years, it was very much a click-and-go process. [14:18] - For a lot of people, we think we can develop a relationship to have an immediate return. [16:04] - In a lot of ways, we are experiencing a credibility crisis. [17:16] - Benevolence is when you want what is best for the person in front of you whether it benefits you or not and it is the unsung hero of credibility. [20:01] - People can tell when you are just searching for them to benefit you. [22:19] - It is definitely a long game, but it is true that real relationships work. [24:16] - What are some of the mistakes Laura sees with relationship building? [26:10] - Having a small audience is not necessarily a bad thing. [28:24] - Everyone wants to be partnering with the bigger person but being someone's biggest and loudest fan benefits everyone. [32:19] - Everyone is unique. No one has the same voice and story as you.   Connect with Laura Meyer: Create Your Win Win Win Win: How to Create Mutually Beneficial Relationships that Grow Your Business Instagram Joy Brand Creative Website   Links and Resources: Your First Six Figures Masterclass  Join the $10K Club Apply for the $50K Club  ElyseArcher.com DM me on Instagram @elysearcher

She increased her income 6x, married a man she's still crazy about 21 years later, helped Fortune 200 companies generate $2 billion in new revenue, adopted a child, invented successful businesses, traveled around the world, and moved to her dream hometown in Colorado. Kay is the author of two books, Secrets from the Innovation Room: How to Create High-Voltage Ideas That Make Money, Win Business, and Outwit the Competition and Juicy AF*: Stop the Drinking Spiral, Create Your Future. Most importantly, she is happy with herself. Kay truly lives a Juicy AF life.
