    John McMahon's Perspective on SKOs and Motivation

    In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, John McMahon and John Kaplan discuss the keys to creating impactful sales kickoffs (SKOs). They explore strategies to motivate sales teams, align them with company goals, and provide the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the upcoming year. With insights on product presentations, leadership speeches, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, this episode offers a blueprint for making SKOs a transformative event for your sales force. KEY TAKEAWAYS [00:00:26] The primary objectives of an SKO: motivating the sales team, aligning them with company goals, and providing training. [00:01:37] Peer-to-peer knowledge sharing during SKOs is an often overlooked, yet invaluable benefit. [00:03:03] Product updates during SKOs: only present when there is a clear, well-differentiated value proposition. Avoid overpromising timelines or features. [00:04:13] Leaders must intimately understand the challenges faced by their sales teams to inspire and motivate effectively. [00:05:27] Creating a “platform of opportunity” and defining clear, aspirational goals motivates high-performing salespeople to fully commit. QUOTES [00:01:37] “The priceless piece of SKOs is the transfer of knowledge between sales reps—it’s not just top-down training.” [00:03:31] “Don’t make promises you can’t keep about product timelines; it’s the fastest way to demotivate a sales force.” [00:04:35] “Tell your sales team why they’ll be better at their job, why they’ll make more money, and how they’ll achieve their career aspirations.” [00:05:27] “People want to stand on a platform of opportunity that elevates them to be a special individual on a special team.” Enjoying the podcast?

[00:02:03] "People are attracted to our broken parts. Nobody's really attracted to perfection." [00:03:16] "To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s trying to make you someone else is the bravest thing you can do." – E. Cummings (cited by Doug Holliday) [00:04:31] "Everybody has a story. Don’t think for a minute anyone you encounter doesn’t have their own." [00:05:12] "There are no heroes, no victims—just a story."

    Talking about Price with Keno Helmi

    In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, Veteran Sales Leader Keno Helmi talks with Revenue Builders about price. When do you give your pricing? How do you make sure your buyer sees the value before you present pricing? These few minutes are worth your time. KEY TAKEAWAYS [00:01:28] Establish Value Early: Prevent customers from arbitrarily assigning low value by anchoring them to the true worth of your solution. [00:02:32] Discovery is Critical: A robust discovery process aligns your software to customer pain points and value creation. [00:02:59] Avoid Premature Pricing: Deflect pricing conversations until you've gathered sufficient requirements and context. [00:05:25] Build Trust with Transparency: Acknowledge customer concerns about pricing while explaining the complexities involved. [00:07:02] Broad Pricing Ranges: Use ranges and commercial terms to delay definitive pricing until later stages of the deal. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES [00:01:28] "We’re peddling insulin here, not apples. That’s why we establish value right out of the gate." [00:02:03] "Negotiate how your software’s value will be evaluated—this determines whether you’re seen as an apple or insulin." [00:02:32] "A great discovery process sets the foundation for preserving margins later in the deal." [00:05:25] "Trust can wobble if sellers shy away from addressing pricing concerns with authenticity." [00:07:02] "Broad ranges tied to ROI are your Plan B when pressured for pricing early."
