The Jake Dunlap Show

In this episode, Jake dives deep into the intricacies of the second 'C' of his 4 Cs framework: Current Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy, emphasizing the crucial role of aligning marketing and lead generation teams. He highlights the stark reality that only 9% of teams hit their outbound targets last year, and more than half of sales reps expected to miss their quotas, underscoring the urgency to address this "bleeding neck problem." Jake sheds light on the importance of strategic integration between marketing and lead generation efforts, ensuring that both teams work towards common objectives with aligned strategies, messages, and metrics. He explores the differences from traditional team alignments, the significance of data sharing, and the consequences of failing to integrate sales, marketing, and customer success teams effectively. The episode concludes with  advice for organizations to assess and improve their alignment and integration, urging them to consider their current structures and to strive for a unified approach to enhance customer journeys and drive revenue growth.

______________________________________________

If you’d grade yourself below a 7, DM or book time with Jake to discuss your current structure and best practices:

She shares her insights on why companies should not fear the rise of AI but rather recognize how to harness its growing power, and the common skepticism surrounding AI—fears of job insecurity and the ever-looming question: Are machines taking over?

"We find that we waste most time as humans when we procrastinate, delay, put off, instead of planning ahead and setting ourselves up for success."

“So we're back to the fear of the unknown, the third piece that I hear most often... How am I going to keep my job if the computer can do it better than me, right?”

Reporting is retrospective. Data is proactive. There’s only so much we can gain by analyzing a report, but taking a holistic view on all the data available can be the difference between a struggling business and a thriving one.

Some of the insights your business desperately needs might already be buried in your data, assuming you’re willing to look closely enough. And now with AI, this process is becoming much faster and smoother. So there’s no excuse not to embrace a data strategy.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Evan Nelson, VP of Customer Experience at Cognism, to explore the impact of data on revenue, actionable ways to measure it, and three ways data can drive sales and improve decision-making.

Quotes:

“There is no professional that improves their performance by winging it and not knowing the data.”

“For a lot of folks, data isn't important until it might be too late.“

“The second you start to understand your customer base and how you're going to market, it becomes game-changing. You can actually build out teams that are so much more efficient.”

“It's not just about where am I winning, or where am I losing. It's about what are the common traits of those.”

If you’ve been thinking about implementing AI into your org but are overwhelmed with so many opportunities, let’s pause and step back for a moment. What are the things where chatGPT could move the needle in your sales process, today?

Enterprise selling is a more complex game than regular sales, usually with 2X to 3X the stakeholders and intricate internal processes you need to navigate. With that in mind, in today’s webinar we’ll cover how enterprise sales orgs leverage ChatGPT as soon as possible, by specifically focusing on these points:

• Advanced account research: Trends in a specific account
• Individual research: People within the account
• Scenario planning and long-term strategy development

Whether you are a sales rep or have a sales team, you should know how the activities you perform affect the bottom-line of your company. But how exactly do you measure that? That’s where Revenue Operations comes in—to give you a bird-eye view of your entire value chain, identify the constraints in your sales cycle and optimize your system based on those findings.

How efficiently are your prospects moving through the sales process? What percentage of them are converting? And how can we keep them for longer? These are the sort of questions you should be asking yourself. Lucky for you, in today’s episode we’ll dive deep on these three key metrics, and how RevOps can drive better results on each of them:

•  Sales Efficiency: Close deals in less time
• Conversion Rates:  Convert a higher % of leads
• Customer Churn: Get more customers renewing

Revenue Operations is often misunderstood, overshadowed by sales operations, or wrongly reduced to the implementation of new software. But Revenue Operations goes far beyond that—it’s about creating unified experiences for customers that drive revenue growth, from beginning to end. Embracing a RevOps approach will impact your company in a way implementing a new piece of software never will, improving key performance metrics like sales velocity, conversion rates, average deal size, or team productivity.

Today, we’ll dive deep into four key areas that will help you drive revenue in 2024 and create end-to-end visibility into your business:

• The difference between Revenue Operations and Sales Operations
• 3 Reasons to make Revenue Operations a top priority in 2024
• Quantifiable ways to measure the impact of Revenue Operations

The sales prospecting landscape has seen a dynamic shift over the years. Remember when the full-cycle sales model gave way to the SDR/AE split? It was a game-changer - at the time. Fast forward to today, and we're witnessing a resurgence of full-cycle AEs.

With the rise of digital tools, will full-cycle AEs reclaim their spot as the “best” approach to prospecting and sales? While they offer significant advantages in streamlining processes and enhancing customer relationships, challenges like time constraints for prospecting remain. However, certain industries and organizations find this approach more fitting and less problematic than sales development and sales being separate.

Today we’re joined by Jamie Shanks, CEO of Pipeline Signals & Get Levrg and a pioneer in the category of social selling, to dive deep into the resurgence of full-cycle AEs, their contribution compared to SDRs, and their future in sales.

Timestamps:

(00:00) Intro

(00:42) How Jamie pioneered Social Selling

(06:57) The evolution of the SDR role

(10:39) Prioritizing ROI in your sales team

(15:33) Best-in-class companies always have AE

(20:17) Prospecting with a destination in mind

(22:34) Outro

Quotes:

“The SDR role was meant to be a feeder ground for sales. If all it is now is a copywriting job, then the DNA is completely different than what it was.“

“I can't think of a single customer that didn't demolish their SDR team once the CFO got their grips on the numbers.”

“We've had customers be like we spend a gazillion dollars of paid media and all this stuff for marketing, and my AEs haven't seen a leave in 3 months.”

“Use a waterfall calculator and figure out what amount of lead flow will the average AE need to do. If you don't set that foundation upfront, Then the AE will prospect, but without a destination in mind.”

Increased production and decreased timelines. Who wouldn’t want that? While AI can represent a massive leverage for organizations, many professionals are still struggling to embrace it or can’t seem to understand how to use it properly. Thus, it’s the responsibility of sales leaders to educate their teams on its capabilities, as well as integrating AI into their current workflow.

AI tools like chatGPT have the power to help you 2x, 3x, or even 10x your output. There is no excuse not to incorporate AI into your organization. And with that in mind, today, we’re joined by Mike Begg, Co-Founder & CEO of AMZ Advisors, an eCommerce consultancy firm, to discuss how AI is changing the game, which trends he foresees moving forward, and how to adapt to the new business landscape as we approach 2024.

Timestamps:

(00:00) Intro

(00:42) Increasing output with AI

(06:49) What holds people back from using AI

(11:58) How to do quality at scale with AI

(16:55) Training your team to embrace AI

(18:42) Shifting from outbound to inbound

(23:24) Content ownership and ethical concerns

(26:21) Where to find Mike

(27:06) Outro

Quotes:

“The more content you put out there, the faster you're gonna learn what your customer likes, what they don't like. And if you're able to do it with great volume, you're shortening the learning curve.”

“When you make it feel like people are buying into the idea versus it being forced on them, you get way better results.”

“In the foreseeable future, there's no way AI is ever gonna be able to replicate the creativity of an individual.“

“If you're in a role that is either relationship-based (sales, relationship management…), or creative-based (marketing, design…), you're always gonna have an opportunity or a job.

“Every piece of content that exists is just a riff on another piece of content.”
