Sales management, training, enablement, hiring, incentivizing... Everything you need to know to lead your team and company to success.

In a rare public appearance by Tony Zambito, Founder of the Buyer Persona concept, Tony will talk about how to succeed in your GTM strategies through a deeper understanding of who your buyers are and the problems they encounter.  Organizations lacking buyer understanding in a post-pandemic world are out of alignment causing their GTM Strategies to miss the mark with buyers.   Overcome GTM challenges and create new opportunities when you properly define your buyers, create messaging that resonates, and get the attention of buyers to take action.  Key takeaways include:

• How to define your ideal companies and buyers
• What Buyer Personas really are and why they are helpful to GTM Strategy
• Key insights you need to get the attention of buyers
• How to get in alignment with the new post-pandemic problems and challenges buyers face

Understanding and Aligning With Buyers to Meet GTM Challenges

Great execution requires well-thought-through processes. And achieving great execution at scale requires that teams adhere to them. But stack complexity, systems choices and more can make things hard. So, while data and measurement should be a critical input for reaching high-performance, too often they become part of the problem.

In this webinar, we host a leader from the RevOps solution side and an operating guru from a super-scaled up tech vendor. They’ll share challenges they’ve experienced and methodologies they’ve developed to help teams achieve alignment for maximum business impact.

Engines of Alignment: People, Processes, Data and Measurement

You’ve come up with a go-to-market plan, but before you can get started you need buy-in from key stakeholders across your organization. For many, this is where the process can slow, or worse, break down. In this session Christa Martin, Partner and CMO of Chief Outsiders, will share how you can overcome these roadblocks and easily align with your executive team. Tune in to learn: 

• Why GTM success and executive team support go hand-in-hand
• Key considerations when building a plan that aligns to the objectives of your organization
•  How to influence and secure buy-in from members of your executive team
• Core elements of an effective GTM plan presentation for your C-suite

Putting the “Go” in Your GTM Plan with Your Executive Team

Second generation Marketing Automation Platforms (MAPs) are not flexible enough with access to real time data to deliver the CX your customers deserve. They were not intended to deliver the customer experience expected by buyers today in an omnichannel environment. Today, it’s about orchestrating the journey – not optimizing the campaign! In this interactive webcast, we will exchange ideas about how to deliver a data driven journey for today’s digital first buyers. You will leave the exchange with:

• An understanding of the limitations of legacy Marketing Automation Platforms
• How Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) can orchestrate a journey based on a unified view of a customer using real time data to supplement your investment in your MAP
• Why a CDP is a central component in your stack
• An appreciation of the benefits of implementing a CDP to achieve journey orchestration instead of campaign execution
• A view about how to maintain your investment in your MAP in the short term and migrate to a more effective platform in the long term

Align Your Second Generation MAP With Your Digital First Buyer’s Journey

It may seem obvious that alignment to customers and prospects is critical to your company’s GTM performance. But enabling the buying teams that deliver revenue requires that you’re able to keep your GTM teams continuously aligned on customer needs. This session featuring Forrester VP & Principal Analyst Barry Vasudevan explores how Product/Portfolio Marketing can enable customer-facing players with the insights they require to maximize your revenue opportunity as a company.  

Tune in to learn:  
• How to identify the needs and preferences of your buyers and customers 
• What processes, actions and assets are necessary to align your Go-to-Market team to the customer
• A new framework for shared insights and knowledge enablement across the GTM team  
• Why 98% of organizations that exceed revenue goals enable ALL buyer- and customer-facing roles

Keynote: Enablement Fueled by Insights Powers GTM Alignment

It’s common sense that organizations that rally together around shared goals will drive more efficiency than those where different functions are at odds with each other. Fully integrated companies are more profitable, drive faster growth, and make happier customers. Yet, most sales and marketing teams struggle with achieving this ideal. 

What are we doing wrong? And what are those who have reached the ideal doing differently? In this session we'll cover the proven actions top performing teams take.

High Impact Sales and Marketing Collaboration

Often times, B2B organizations scale and grow through hiring star account executives. However, the dependency on account executives leaves the organization vulnerable to ups and downs of individual sales performances, as well as to losing the skills and capabilities in case they leave the company. In order to minimize the negative impact, it is important to build a institutional machine to support demand generation and deal execution. Join this session to learn data-driven approaches and GTM factors to consider when building a platform to generate institutional sales momentum.

How to Have Powerful Conversations that Influence Others

Supercharge Your Sales: How to Make CRM Tools Work for Your Team

The advent of COVID-19 globally and the enforced restrictions in social interaction has irrevocably changed how businesses must interact in the vital economic process of buying and selling. This has by necessity become a virtual process dependent on technology. The question is ‘How do we thrive in this new world and how do we Master the New De Facto?’
 
According to recent surveys, buyers prefer digital interaction with sellers and the adoption rate has jumped significantly, yet in their opinions of sales effectiveness in the virtual marketplace, sellers are not significantly impacting purchasing decisions due to their lack of preparedness or inability to manage the technology properly. It seems that even experienced sellers can forget the basic sales 101s in the confusion to manage the new media and modus operandi. With a little education, self-organisation and adoption of new tools, this can change.

In this short webcast, you will learn:

How to embrace the change and become proficient with the technology
How to build your own credibility in the social arena
How to leverage your company’s investment in tools to help you
How to prepare and become more effective in virtual selling
How to engage your customers both during a virtual meeting and afterwards

Mastering the New De Facto

Research shows 84% of buyers say sales reps don’t effectively convey value when selling virtually. 

Other common mistakes that reps make: not personalizing the conversation, talking too much, and delivering the pitch too early.

With virtual selling here to stay, fixing these mistakes is critical. If you don’t, your sales reps won’t hit quota.

But you’re only one person, managing several sales reps—all of whom need customized coaching.

 - How can you improve an individual sales rep’s performance?
 - How do you gain insight into where reps are falling short and why?
 - How can you identify where revenue is being won and lost?
 - How do you coach multiple sellers located in different locations?

Conversation Intelligence can help you get the answers to those questions. Join Allego’s Jake Miller to learn how you can use the AI-powered coaching tool to identify skill gaps, pinpoint where revenue is won or lost, prescribe training to fix specific behaviors that lose sales, and keep deals moving through the pipeline.
