Winning strategy for internal promotions

Looking to boost your win rates? It’s doable—but leaders can't comprehend or prepare for a deal's components without high-quality data. And you can’t just rely on your CRM alone. Our guest, @Udi Ledergor, Chief Evangelist at @Gong and five-time Marketing leader at B2B start-ups, helps us understand that, unlike CRM data, conversation intelligence may identify purchase signals in sales calls and emails at a higher success rate.&nbsp; As a result, deal outcomes and win rates can be influenced by using the right type of conversation intelligence. Listen to this episode to see how first-party consumer data can take your forecasting and overall business to the next level.

Don’t be a Yes Person—Ask “why” to qualify leads

All companies want long-term success, but do they know what it takes to actually achieve it? First, start with leaders who remember their humanity, humility, and kindness. Next, understand that creativity is key and one-size-fits-all approaches fail. All inbound and outbound sales methods must be tailored. Our guest on today’s show, @Dan Fougere, Director of @HomesForOurTroops and former Chief Revenue Officer of @Datadog, has perfected both of these steps. He’s here to share his journey and reveal how innovative cultures that yield and foster outcomes will thrive.&nbsp; Resources: <a href="https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/innovation-culture-strategy-that-gets-results" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boston Consulting Group</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.brightspot.com/forrester-consulting-study-2023-search?utm_term=forrester%20research&amp;utm_campaign=SEA-2023-01-Forrester-Study&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;hsa_acc=9194893936&amp;hsa_cam=18528431478&amp;hsa_grp=142329794305&amp;hsa_ad=644084356223&amp;hsa_src=g&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-297096309799&amp;hsa_kw=forrester%20research&amp;hsa_mt=p&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA1MCrBhAoEiwAC2d64cJ4FR1qeP4CbIVTR9N_ROxWCmcsYdsNAY2Yf2SxW7j-3a-uOTmdgBoCRxkQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forrester Research</a>&nbsp;

It’s no one-size-fits-all—tailor each inbound and outbound sales method

Interested in finding that sweet spot where data literacy and narrative fluency meet? It's not always a sign of strength to use facts to support a new way of doing things—understanding the story they tell has importance, too. Get ready to feel empowered by the natural human draw to stories and the truth about how data can contradict people's beliefs.Therefore, using facts to promote a new approach isn't always the best option. We had the honor of sitting down with @Michael Lewis, the well-known financial journalist and publisher of many New York Times bestselling books, and @Amit Bendov, CEO and Co-Founder of @Gong.io., who both know that stories help us make sense of the world. They also know that when algorithms and AI join the ring, we will still depend on humans interpreting what data can't.&nbsp;Listen to this episode for tips on thriving with a healthy balance of data literacy and story fluency.

Knowledge is power: it’s time to learn the story behind the numbers

When you are enthusiastic and receptive to feedback, excellent conversations occur. And according to @Chris Degnan, Chief Revenue Officer at @Snowflake Computing, conflict in the workplace can be constructive rather than destructive when it's delivered in a respectful, curious way.Imagine that! But you don’t have to just imagine it—you can live in that world. "The Humility Essential for Success: You're part of that rocket ship, but you're not the rocket ship," says Degnan. He stressed the importance of maintaining humility, regardless of position, which will create an open, feedback-friendly culture. And that’s an environment that will cause people to stick around.
