In this week's episode, "How ABM is Evolving: New Best Practices and Pitfalls" I talk with Nani Shaffer, Senior Director, Demand Generation & Operations at Demandbase
Demandbase is synonymous with account based marketing. They have done a ton over the years to really develop the definition of account based marketing to really set some benchmarks and drive a lot of great thought leadership around it. The concept of ABM has been around now for at least three, four plus years. Demandbase has been involved in this category now for a long time as well.
In this episode, I ask Nani:
- How she has seen ABM evolve?
- What is ABM here at the beginning of 2020?
- Can a company's marketing be applied to any target?
- Do you think for companies that continue to go down this maturity curve this won't be a separate effort, that this will just evolve into the sort of table stakes of how companies market to their targets?
- What sales role is in driving effective ABM programs and what does it take to get a sales organization aligned with the marketing efforts to create a truly integrated ABM approach?
- What are some key lessons you've learned about what it takes to take this great idea and actually land it? (how does it work on Tuesday?)
- How do you make this not just a campaign but a culture change?
- What are some things you've learned that are key to making that work?
- And lots more!

This week's episode is entitled "How to Start 2020 the WRONG Way" and I banter with our MC and friend, Paul Roberts. Football does come up (as usual), but we also talk about 2020.
Don't go into the holiday period and into January 2nd without a plan, without knowing what your objectives are, without knowing what you are going to be focused on.
What are you trying to achieve?
What 12 months from today, does success look like?
And what are the key things that are going to get you there?
Know what that plan is, at least going into the storm. Knowing the storm is probably going to try to tear it to pieces, but having that plan up front, if you don't have some semblance of that, it's going to be very hard to start the year off on the right track.
Listen in below for this and more. The full transcription will be on our blog starting Monday, 12/30/19.

In "From Process to Profits: How Systems Will Increase Your Sales", I'm talking about sales strategy with Bethany Fagan, CMO at PandaDoc. Full disclosure, I am a PandaDoc customer and a very happy one. I wanted to have her on to talk about templates as part of the sales process. Sometimes things like templates can be perceived as perhaps less exciting parts of the process. It's not as exciting as the creative. It's not as exciting as let's go make more dials or figuring out how to get reps to engage with our prospects, to engage with our reps. But process and systems are the backbone of successful, predictable, scalable sales organizations.
We talk about what PandaDoc has seen on this and how important process and templates are. This and a lot more!
