    Effective Proof of Concepts with Keno Helmi

    Effective Proof of Concepts with Keno Helmi

    Keno Helmi is a five-time CRO with a wealth of experience in the technology industry. He has held leadership positions at companies such as PTC, HP, Digby, Duetto, Platform 9, and Pegasus. Currently, he serves as the CRO at Espressive.

    Keno discusses the importance of proof of value (POV) in the sales process. He explains that a POV is not just about validating the technology, but also about validating the business case. By setting clear success criteria and involving the economic buyer (EB) in the process, sales reps can increase the predictability of the outcome and improve their forecasting. Keno emphasizes the need for a champion to take the rep to the EB and highlights the importance of thorough qualification before engaging in a POV. He also shares best practices for running a successful POV, including defining objectives, setting clear success metrics, and involving the sales rep throughout the process. Keno concludes by discussing the importance of debriefing with the champion and presenting a comprehensive report or presentation to the EB after the POV.

    HERE ARE SOME KEY SECTIONS TO CHECK OUT

    [00:00:00] POC vs. POV: POC validates technology; POV validates both tech and business value.
    [00:05:19] Meeting the Economic Buyer is critical for authority and budget.
    [00:11:50] Don't do POCs too early; understand the customer's use case.
    [00:14:11] Champions expedite sales by taking you to the Economic Buyer.
    [00:18:17] POC should lead to a natural close, not put the customer in the market.
    [00:25:11] The go, no-go meeting with the Economic Buyer is decisive.
    [00:38:33] Share a comprehensive RFP or scoring template to guide the evaluation.
    [00:41:45] Leverage serendipitous visits from stakeholders to build additional champions.
    [00:43:29] Proactively bring in potential champions who may not be aware of the POV.
    [00:46:13] Actively engage during the POV, troubleshoot discreetly, and showcase successes.
    [00:48:16] Create a comprehensive report or presentation (Champion's Deck) summarizing technical and financial results.

    HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

    [00:10:28] "You want to do a P.O.V. to increase the predictability of the outcome, improve your forecasting, and potentially grow the business value of the deal."
    [00:13:25] "That person has earned the right to be called a champion and not a prospective champion. You do not have the right to call that person a champion until that person takes you to the economic buyer."
    [00:15:11] "You want to ensure that your test plan is going to be the scoring mechanism by which all vendors are evaluated."

    212. How Our Definition of Success Change As We Get Older

    212. How Our Definition of Success Change As We Get Older

    In my younger years, I used to measure success based on external and quantifiable metrics. Job promotions, titles, salary, and material possessions were the yardsticks I used to gauge my achievements. However, as I've grown older and retired from my corporate career, my perspective on success has shifted.

    In this episode, I discuss the six common examples of how our definition of success changes in retirement and as we get older. As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on how and in what ways your success definition has changed as well.

    If you wake up eager to do what you’re going to do.  You can’t wait to get at it.  And at night you go to bed smiling, fulfilled and accomplished.  Using those ‘bookends’ to your day, go out and do what you’re passionate about. 

     

    It’s all about family and how you treat them.  Family can be whoever you make or want them to be.

    1/30/23 – Mon – F4P – E112 (E251) The Business of Fatherhood with Ben Killoy

    When is a veteran forgotten? When does your name no longer mean anything? A 100 years from now will your family say “Gpa used to always say/do that, and it’s still true today.”  Is there something you left behind that’s not just wealth?  Success is how well my kids know me. They know enough that what I did lives with them and through them in a way that keeps getting passed on.  How I lived, treated people, wisdom I left behind, and who you are are ‘anchor’ memories for your kids.

    1/9/23 – Mon – F4P – E109 (E245) - Top Advice for Farmers with Mike Burkhart "Father of FarmTok"

                Small wins to all add up to success.  Successful is being able to continue the family farm.

    work hard so that you can make the family more money than you cost; living broke until you can get your own farm; the ultimate goal is to get your own piece of the family farm.

     

    Make the most of the gifts God’s given you.Make your blessings/opportunities have an impact

     

    2/23/23 – Thur – F4F – E209 (E258) FarmerDan97

                The Lord called us to be stewards of the land, and if we take care of it, He’ll take care of us.  Live life to His glory.

                Barrett – God put you on this earth for one intent, but He left you to pursue it.  Go chase your dream.

    Matthew – Make the most of the gifts God’s given you.  Make your blessings/opportunities have an impact.  Look back at the industry and see that you’ve made it better, that’s success.

     

                

    Summary:

    Have faith and share the great news, passing along a legacy for the next generations to come, leaving things better than you found them, being of high character and being able to sleep at night, being a useful member of a team, being a person people want to be around, build a community around you and ultimately finding and doing what you love.

    Episode 10: Has your innovation actually been successful?

    Episode 10: Has your innovation actually been successful?

    So, you’ve implemented change, well done! How do you know it was all worth it? 

    This episode is the final from our current series on 'how to innovate' - and it's time to take stock. But really, that all comes down how you measure your success.

    In the first episode, "What is innovation?", we looked at three key motivators: 

    1) for growth and profit 
    2) for climate resilience or consumer future-proofing 
    3) for community building. 

    And it turns out these key motivators are also quite useful as metrics of success.

    So, in this episode hear how social and cultural innovations have helped to forge bush tucker markets and create employment pathways at Worn Gundidj, an Aboriginal Cooperative in south-west Victoria; we discover how regional collaborations have created fit-for-purpose research and innovation across the Mallee region of Victoria and; we learn some of the key numbers and strategic questions you should be asking when measuring the success of an innovation.

     

    GUESTS:

    Dylan Kelly & Peter Lyles, Horticulture, Worn Gundidj (based in Tower Hill and Warrnambool)

    Success: Working From the Inside Out

    Success: Working From the Inside Out

    In this episode of the Demystifying Diversity Podcast, host Daralyse Lyons examines the ways in which society not only serves to shape individuals' perception and understanding of success, but also the far-reaching impacts that “success” and “being successful” has on people's conceptions of their own identities. Experts from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds share their beliefs about what success is, the value of pursuing it, and how to find personal fulfillment within their professional lives. Whatever your relationship with your own success metrics, this episode offers invaluable insights that will support you in your personal and professional goals.

    In this episode, you will learn about:

    * Different perspectives about what success means, and how conceptions of it have been shaped by society.

    * How success and fulfillment are not the same thing, and how assessing one's professional fulfillment is a personal journey.

    * How interpretations of success and professionalism are often tied to privilege.

    * How essential it is to make space for an intersectional understanding of success and “achievement.” .

    Learn to Live Unapologetically Authentic with Jean Tien - Episode 139

    Learn to Live Unapologetically Authentic with Jean Tien - Episode 139

    You are Not Broken!

    You may feel that you are. You may struggle with what you are conditioned to believe about yourself. If Jean and I can leave you with one message in this episode it is that you are not broken.

    Living unapologetically authentic means allowing us to be who we truly are. It is filtering out what we've been conditioned to believe about ourselves and learning to overcome the true source of our struggles within...fear of judgement or rejection.

    Jean Tien is a reformed corporate climber that fumbled her way through life, her words, until she realized that "happily ever after doesn't automatically happen when you start to make more money or climb the corporate ladder. She says that following this age-old formula for success didn't work because it wasn't allowing her to be herself."

    In this episode we unpack the success formula that Jean developed for overcoming her fears and living unapologetically authentic. Additionally, we discuss minor things like: cancel culture, fear of judgement, deficiencies in self-esteem, etc. 

    Listen in and take notes to help you become who you are meant to be. It's not always who you think today that it is!

    Jean's book The S.U.C.C.E.S.S Method will be out in December or January.

    Know your Numbers - What Key Metrics Can Tell You About Business Growth Strategy

    Know your Numbers - What Key Metrics Can Tell You About Business Growth Strategy

    I was at the airport recently and I got thinking about the windsock as it was blowing around in the gusting winds. A windsock is a simple yet critical tool for pilots, as it tells them what direction the wind is blowing and at what speed, which is extremely important when you’re taking off or landing a plane.

    What areas of your business do you need to know the velocity and direction?

    • Cash flow?
    • Lead flow?
    • Sales?

    In today's episode, I share how to choose what to measure in order to make effective decisions, take the right action, manage your business well, and most importantly, be able to scale.

    First of all, it’s important to keep in mind that there’s only a few indicators you should be measuring. The question is: How do you determine which indicators to look at?

    Well, it’s important to figure out what it is that you want to change. If you want to change your profitability, then it’s a good idea to measure profits. If you want to change the quantity of your sales, then you should look at sales. The change you want to see will ultimately determine your metrics for measuring success.

    So, which metrics will be most likely to tell you about your business performance? For this, you’re going to have to look at both lagging and leading indicators.

    A lagging indicator for sales would be how many sales were actually made. Lagging indicators are helpful because they show us patterns after the fact. A leading indicator in the case of sales would be prospecting activities. Things like, how many proposals did you make? How many people did you talk to over the phone or face-to-face?

    Once you can see the data for the lagging and leading indicators, you can take action to change the activities leading to the outcomes you want. The value of these different metrics for measuring success is that they allow you to focus your time and energy. If you want to improve your overall business performance, getting clear about what needs to change is a crucial first step.
