    Prospecting & Lead Generation Tactics That Work for 2024

    Lara Triozzi and Terri-Lynne Anderson, CEO and Sales Manager at Market Launcher respectively, join the show to talk about prospecting and lead generation. With both perspectives, we get to talk about both the broad evolution of B2B prospecting and the cyclical nature of how sellers must change their approach to reach prospective buyers and the tactical approaches that work best from someone on the front lines. We talk about the current state of prospecting, what businesses are looking for from sales reps and sales conversations, and what the Market Launcher team does today that can help others improve and/or accelerate their own prospecting efforts. And based on Market Launcher’s expertise in the enterprise, Lara and Terri-Lyne also discuss how these early sales conversations change as you move upmarket.

    Parental Leave Planning & Continuity in the Client Experience

    Angela Pointon, President of 11 out of 11, joins the show to talk about employee extended leave—and offers tips on how you can plan for things like parental leave without destroying your P&L or the client experience. Angela walks us through her approach staff-wise, how she manages a mix of both full-time and contract employees to maintain flexibility, and when, where, and how redundancies and coverage models are established. We also talk about how it’s handled on the client-side—how they’re made aware, how the transition is positioned, and how Angela’s team mitigates any client concerns or reservations. Lastly, apart from staffing, we hit on the other operational measures and processes she’s put into place to ensure continuous service delivery.

    Partner GTM with a Recommended Tech Stack and App List

    Matt Smith, CEO and Founder of 1406 Consulting here to talk about two things: first, his entry into the HubSpot partner ecosystem via the old sales partner program—which we now know as the Provider program. We talk about 1406’s origination and beginnings, how they started as a HubSpot partner, and how its navigated the ecosystem through today. Second, we talk about tech stack and platform consulting—and how important it is to go to market with a recommended tech stack for his clients. So we talk about Matt’s approach to building that list, the qualification process he uses in determining what apps and integrations he wants to add to the list, and the relationships he makes with the app partners themselves. We also talk about how this manifests in the sales process—from discovery questions to inform his app recommendations, objection handling and navigating pushback or potential aversion to increased software costs to accelerate the sales process and close new deals.

    Ryan Burkett, Director of Marketing and Operations at BrandGen.io, and Galen Dow, Director of Business Development at BrandGen.io join the podcast to talk about ”ABR”, or an account-based RevOps strategy, which presents a significant revenue opportunity for solutions partners and agencies as the next evolution of account-based marketing (or ABM). Ryan and Galen start by contrasting ABM vs. ABR, including the importance of having it orchestrated within a CRM, and then they walk us through what ideal ABR strategy execution looks like with HubSpot—both with the functionality available natively and with their recommended apps and integrations plugged in. They then share how this can manifest in the sales process, including the value propositions to use, the right discovery questions to ask, the blockers you can remove, which opportunities to seek out first, and the ABM tools you should integrate in first.
