We all know that getting into and paying for college represent two very different challenges. But what if you could focus on factors that improve your odds of accomplishing both at the same time? For a surprising number of schools, you can! Amy and Mike invited educator Brian Eufinger to explain the role of test scores in college merit aid. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What's the difference between need-based aid and merit aid? Can people with incomes too high for need-based aid still qualify? What are merit aid grids? How have they evolved over the last 20 years? How much merit aid can students earn based on ACT, SAT, or PSAT scores? Does every college offer merit aid based on test scores? How can students maximize the chances of merit aid? MEET OUR GUEST Brian Eufinger graduated with honors from Washington University in St. Louis in May 2004. While an undergrad, he enjoyed working as a teaching assistant for Political Science 101, a resident advisor (RA) and as a volunteer paramedic with WashU's Emergency Support Team.

Director Christopher Nolan once said:“You have to do something that really excites you. It's the things that you can bring to what you're doing that maybe not everyone else is doing. That's what's going to distinguish the thing.”That's the energy we're taking into this episode of Remarkable. Guided by our guest this week, Jellyfish CMO Kyle Lacy, we're taking marketing lessons from the Oscar-winning director, Christopher Nolan. Together, we talk about mastering each channel, building the day-to-day life of your buyer into your content, and much more.About our guest, Kyle LacyKyle Lacy is CMO at engineering management platform Jellyfish, the pioneer Engineering Management Platform that enables engineering leaders to align engineering work with strategic business objectives. There, he helps engineering leaders translate and maximize the business impact of their teams. Kyle has 17 years of experience in high-growth software. Prior to joining Jellyfish in November 2022, Kyle served as CMO of Lessonly. He has also led marketing at Seismic, OpenView, Salesforce and ExactTarget. He is a published author of three books: Twitter Marketing for Dummies, Branding Yourself, and Social CRM for Dummies. He is a marketing and digital trends speaker, having spoken at marketing and technology industry events around the world on content marketing, collaborative consumption, email marketing, technology trends, and more. He has been recognized as one of Indiana's Forty-under-40 by the Indianapolis Business Journal, Anderson University's Young Alumni of the Year and TechPoint's Young Professional of the Year. But most importantly, he says, he's the father of two boys, an energetic dog, and one too many books on World War II.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Christopher Nolan:Master each channel. Reach a deep understanding of what your audience wants and needs from each channel and create content for it. Kyle says once you've mastered the channels, “you can start creating brand content that is more creative and entertainment oriented and more about the human that's buying the product, not necessarily the product itself.” It's like how Christopher Nolan has mastered fiction with Memento and Inception and non-fiction with Dunkirk and Oppenheimer. He understands what viewers of each genre are looking for and creates content specifically for them.Build the day-to-day life of the buyer into your marketing. Include different storylines and details in your content so that it shows an understanding of your audience and their lived experience. The more your content clicks with them, the more they'll remember your brand when they're ready to buy. Kyle says, “We sell to an engineering leader. There are 500 other things that that engineering leader is dealing with on a day to day basis that might not necessarily pertain to our product, but does lead to exuberance, stress, productivity…the Amazon package being late for his daughter's birthday present. So how do we build more of the day in the life of the buyer into our content? It's the human element that's the most interesting part of marketing.”Quotes*”When you've mastered your craft and you understand the minute technical details that make it enjoyable, whether that's marketing or producing a movie, you can make decisions and take risks because you understand what the impact will be because you've spent so much time obsessing over it. ” - Kyle Lacy*”Christopher Nolan got very lucky that he has a brother that's a very good screenwriter. But he also understands how to surround himself with people that are very good at what they do. And I think part of being a manager - and it doesn't even have to be marketing - is that you have to find the people that truly love their craft and are good at what they do so that the end product, no matter what it is, is the best that you could possibly do.” - Kyle Lacy*”Anybody can tune into a podcast about leadership values. And what does it take to be a great manager? Like there's 500 of them because it's easier to do. It's harder to do what we're doing right now. Y'all prepped for a Christopher Nolan-slash-CMO interview. But it's interesting, right? And that's why people like to be on it. That's why people listen to it. And that's, I think, this idea of illogical marketing, right? Like the more illogical you can be, the more creative it is and the more people enjoy it. It's just hard to grasp for a lot of marketers.” - Kyle Lacy*”I think the nuance Is how you balance the extremely illogical podcast, weird direct mails, lego building sets, all the stuff that I think surprises and delights people with the other things that might not be as fun and creative but drive business value. And that's where I would love to tell you that there's a framework you should follow. But it's, what is enjoyable to the customer? How do you understand that they like it, whether that's an increase in listeners or shares, or you got more people wanting to be interviewed? And then it's that you're hitting the numbers that you put in front of the board, and that's ultimately the value.” - Kyle Lacy*”You kill creativity when you try to apply too much ROI to a project. Doesn't mean you shouldn't track it, doesn't mean there shouldn't be ROI. But you sit down with a creative team and say, ‘Hey, let's think about how many downloads we can get or how much pipeline this thing is going to drive. And they just glaze over. Good creatives glaze over because you're not starting with the most important thing, which is the experience that thing is driving. You can work back, you can figure out the business impact of the thing. And it really depends on the piece of content, right? Like a playbook is going to be different than a podcast. But I'd like to start with the experience and then back into the business impact because I think it just has more value and people are more creative when you start with the experience.” - Kyle LacyTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Kyle Lacy, CMO at Jellyfish[2:51] Exploring Christopher Nolan's Storytelling Techniques[4:45] The Art of Making Complex Narratives Work[7:31] Christopher Nolan's Unique Approach to Filmmaking[10:14] Applying Nolan's Strategies to B2B Marketing[17:47] Drawing Parallels Between Nolan's Work and Marketing[18:52] Mastering Different Storytelling Formats[21:32] The Human Element in Marketing and Filmmaking[23:51] Exploring the Camera as a Character in Marketing[24:59] The Human Element: The Core of Marketing and Storytelling[26:26] Christopher Nolan's Mastery of Objects in Storytelling[28:04] Marketing Lessons from Nolan's Use of Totems[29:32] The Power of Mascots and Brand Identity[31:33] Creative Choices in Filmmaking: The Case of Bane's Voice[39:17] The Challenge of Balancing Creativity and Business Goals[43:58] Advice for other CMOsLinksConnect with Kyle on LinkedInLearn more about JellyfishAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Actually secure a client rather than going through the checklist of securing the client because the process to get there is a long road. Be empathetic to each part of that trail to landing the client, and also think about how you can provide value to the client, rather than just thinking. Oh, it's a great client for me. Have a much more broad sense of how you can provide value even though it may not be something you may be familiar with, think about providing value. Because that's important at the end of the day. Develop a Minimal Viable Product. That's a concept that's described in a book called “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries. So basically, what my point here is to have a real business need, rather than turning a hobby into a business. Because the more solutions it can provide, the better it will be.

The Episode in 60 Seconds Kyle Lacy, CMO of Lessonly, joins us via Zoom from Indianapolis, Ind. to talk marketing/sales alignment, customer experience, leadership during COVID-19, and golden llamas. Kyle brings over 12 years of experience in marketing strategy and digital operations and is obsessed with how technology influences and changes human behavior. Additionally, Kyle has written three books: Twitter Marketing for Dummies, Branding Yourself, and Social CRM for Dummies. This interview delves into: The importance of storytelling in marketing and branding A unified approach to sales and marketing Differentiating your company in some way outside of your product’s features The power of customer experience Lessonly’s approach to COVID-19 challenges The mentality of a successful CMO Our Guest Kyle Lacy leads marketing for Lessonly, a training and enablement software company based in Indianapolis, Ind. Kyle's team touches everything you can imagine when it comes to marketing, including demand generation, content marketing, branding, design, messaging, go-to-market development, and thought leadership. He drives growth at Lessonly using the knowledge he has gained while working at a venture capital firm, the largest software company in the world, and the fastest-growing email marketing company. Kyle has authored three books that have been published in five languages and seven countries. The books include Twitter Marketing for Dummies, Branding Yourself, and Social CRM for Dummies. Kyle has spent the last seven years traveling the world speaking at marketing and technology industry events and has been recognized as as one of Indiana’s Forty-under-40 by the Indianapolis Business Journal, Anderson University's Young Alumni of the Year, and TechPoint's Young Professional of the Year. Show Notes Check out Lessonly CEO Max Yoder’s book Do Better Work. Lessonly sends this book to prospects throughout the entire sales cycle. Your best stories come from your customers. They are your best salespeople. Companies either approach the sales funnel with the power of customer experience or a feature push. Where do you stand? A Unified Approach to Sales and Marketing The traditional sales funnel has radically transformed over the last five years. We’ve seen this self-service sales framework begin to develop in marketing where people are doing a lot of research independent from any sales conversations. Kyle Lacy’s marketing team transitioned from being only top of funnel to being full funnel, touching 100% of everything happening at the company. “The team felt renewed. They were more positive. They felt challenged in a good way. And then because of that, because they had the feeling that they were accomplishing something, we started to see success.” - Kyle Lacy As its sales and marketing teams grew, Lessonly then focused on organization and process development to adjust alignment. The True Value of Brand Experience in B2B Tech If you don’t differentiate in some other way outside of features, you’ll just be another demo. Try telling a story that’s a little bit different, a bit more human. A few things Lessonly has done to humanize the sales cycle: Sent prospects Donors Choose gift cards to give to a classroom in need in their city, so kids can do better work, too Developed a 13-page coloring book to help working parents entertain their kids during quarantine Sent employees, prospects, and customers golden llamas (spray painted by Kyle, himself!) modeled after Lessonly’s mascot, Ollie Llama. Lessonly receives most of its customer feedback from a weekly personal and leadership development newsletter sent by Lessonly CEO Max Yoder. Kyle on sending prospects Golden Llamas… “We don’t talk about Lessonly at all as a product, but it’s a first touch for us. It works extremely well because it’s different, and it has nothing to do with our product.” - Kyle Lacy #SprayPaintingLlamas Here’s an unboxing of Lessonly’s Golden Llama by Sendoso. Lessonly has also launched a word search, a board game called Llama Land for their software users, and a Lego Llama. (And if you haven't seen Ludacris freestyle the children's book, Llama Llama Red Pajama, check it out.) Kyle Lacy's Mentality as A Successful CMO What’s the essential mentality for a Chief Marketing Officer to be successful? Timeframes. “Marketing directors think in quarters. Chief Marketing Officers should think in years when it comes to strategy development.” - Kyle Lacy Make your customer the hero. To achieve that, avoid a constant focus on feature development and growth. Instead of focusing on the top of the funnel, CMOs and marketing leaders should focus on two things: 1. Owning a revenue number (and a seat at board meetings) 2. Influencing 100% of company decisions that are related to money Lessonly's Approach to Leadership During the COVID-19 Crisis When attempting to make decisions on an unknown, you must over-communicate with your team and over-index on empathy.

As Craig says, "There’s a Cornellian in every facet of life," and "we’re family and we want people to feel like family." Created and produced by Amanda Massa.

One of the consistent things that I hear from institutions that I work with is that they're really interested in doing a better job engaging younger donors. We call them millennials. We're lucky enough at RNL to have two millennials of our own. Peter Christian and Quinn McGourty-Holland, who are just rock stars. They spend their days talking with RNL partners about new solutions and how best to surprise and delight what could be the most generous generation in history. We're going to watch something fun today, and it's the designated millennials podcast, as part of Fundraising Voices, here at RNL. For the first episode, I got on the line with Quinn and Peter to talk a little bit about how they think we could do a good job engaging their own generation, a group of alumni that is often giving at about one half the rate of the overall alumni population. Key insights: - Make giving easy, fun and social - Use engaging technologies like crowdfunding, giving days and social media to change the game with young donors - Authenticity is key, and let the donors become part of the conversation - Millennial donor engagement is probably the best way to engage everyone!
