    Scaling Back to Move Forward | Ryan Morel

    When the economy rocks as much as we've all witnessed in the past year, pivoting and reprioritizing can become the norm. But reprioritization doesn't need to feel chaotic. Ryan Morel, VP of Marketing at Flexe, a software company delivering technology-powered, omnichannel logistics programs, knows this first hand. Being at the company for over seven years, Ryan is no stranger to change, which is why he's so adamant about having a North Star to work towards. With a clear North Star in mind, Ryan believes you can strategically direct a team and drive results no matter the outside circumstances. In this episode of Revenue Talks, Ryan discusses his experience working at a start-up that is constantly evolving to meet current marketing demands. The two marketing VPs chew over knowing when it's time to “kill your darlings" in order to move forwar, how to manage team expectations and the importance of marrying marketing and sales activities through persistent collaboration.

    Listen, Listen, Listen | Amy Frampton

    "You're not listening!" Be it in our personal or professional lives, most of us have heard this sentence once or twice. Why? Because we all like to think we know what others are thinking and feeling. In reality, however, the only way we truly know how our friends, customers, and prospects are feeling is by listening to what they have to say. That's one of the reasons Amy Frampton, Head of Marketing for BambooHR, moved the sales development rep (SDR) team to the marketing team when she joined the company five years ago. In this Revenue Talks episode, Amy shares how she leverages her SDR team to learn what pain points prospects really have, how her team actions on these pain points, and how the entire BambooHR go-to-market organization aligns around the voice of the customer.
