“We can put up all the funnels and try to use all the complex terms, but in the end, it's a human being who is going to make that decision.”

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Kevin Marasco, Zenefits

“I think of it less as a product-market fit, but more like a product-market-go-to-market fit because the market is fluid and changing. As marketing, sales, and revenue leaders, we have to be evolving continuously -- who we target, how we target them, and what products we're building for them.”

A podcast episode

The First 100 Days of an Accidental Marketer with Kevin Marasco, Zenefits

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Graham Collins, QuotaPath (part 2)

“When you're weighing out compensation and evaluating that as part of a new sales role, understand what is important to you and how attainable and sustainable you think it is.”

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Graham Collins, QuotaPath (part 1)

“Compensation is like the background music in a movie. You notice it if it's really bad, but you don't notice it if it's really good. That's the way the compensation really should be.”

The First 100 Days of Transitioning from Sales-led to Product-led with Stephanie Cox, Lumavate

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Stephanie Cox, Lumavate

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Eduardo Valladolid, Thought Industries (Part 2)

“I think the new ‘this is how we've always done it’ is ‘this is off-brand.’ That's where I encourage marketers to get out of that brand box and open their eyes to a new font, a new color palette, less stock imagery, introducing custom images, or revamping the event agenda."

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Eduardo Valladolid, Thought Industries (Part 1)

The journey to a long successful career does not include quitting your stable tech job to travel the world on a motorcycle. Or, does it?

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Blaise Bevilacqua, UserGems

“Traveling taught me flexibility. I still get butterflies when I am about to dial into a call because I do not know what people's personalities are like, and that can have a huge influence on the outcome. Think on the fly because things will not go as planned.”

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Derek Wang, UserGems

“Traveling sparks a natural curiosity. Curiosity is a leading factor for success for myself and my colleagues. Salespeople who are naturally wanting to ask questions to learn more about your prospects, what your customers are doing, and what they are looking for, provide more value.”

A podcast episode

A podcast episode

Keepin’ it 100 with Nicole Penland, Reciprocity
