Being COVID-unemployed with Rich Surprise

Sales reimagined with Brian Court
Everyone’s in sales. Everyone.
Brian Court, Director of Global Sales at DHD, explains this concept best to Jordan Greaser, RevOps Therapist and CEO of Greaser Consulting:
“The easiest way to get to that is if I asked you, ‘tell me something you're passionate about,’ right? … It just naturally starts to come out. And you're not, you're not selling me, but you're selling me? Right?
“You're, you're showing me how this particular thing is worth a time investment or is meaningful, when before it wasn't to me. And we don't think of that as sales… And that's, in my mind, selling; that's what selling is.
“It's, it's encouraging people to move towards something for something that they truly believe is in their best interest and others' best interest. And so, that, to me, that's where you want to sit in a sales process.”
Court goes on to explain how this understanding can lead sellers to being more empathetic and more helpful, closing better deals.

Omnitools vs. stitching? - with David Kübler
Are you a smartphone or a flip phone kind of person? Before you glance at your smartphone and scoff at such a silly question, we’ve managed to find two leaders in the tech space who have made the switch back to flip phones.
Why should we care? Because whether someone uses a smartphone, that has everything anyone could want in one place, or whether someone uses a flip phone, carrying around simply the ability to call and text while keeping productivity apps on devices like work laptops, parallels the discussion of which is better: omnitools or stitching together parts of a tech stack?
RevOps Therapist and CEO of Greaser Consulting, Jordan Greaser, and David Kübler, Sales Analyst at Project A Ventures debate these two concepts: not smartphones versus flip phones (although you’ll have to listen to determine who the real trendsetter is there), but whether it makes more sense to invest in one tool that can do it all or many that can do precisely what you need.
Product-Led Growth with Jon Hill
It’s not just a 30-day free trial. It’s not firing all of your salespeople.
Product-led growth is a shift in thinking, starting with and focusing on the question “how do we create value for the end user?”
As Jon Hill, VP of Global Revenue and Operations at Linode, puts it: “how do we start that way: thinking of the end-user, leading with value, removing friction, and then earning the rights to get them to convert into being a paying customer, or growing as a paying customer?”
Hill answers these questions and reveals how product-led growth can work in SaaS in his interview with RevOps Therapist and CEO of Greaser Consulting, Jordan Greaser.
