#saas #revops #revopswithanedge #revenueoperations
Alex Theuma CEO and Founder of SaaStock joins Pete Jansons and Jamie Carney of the SAASholes Revenue Operations Podcast to give an update on the SAAStock show coming to Austin
After 11 years of sales experience in IT, Telecoms & Cloud, Alex Theuma started a blog on SaaS called SaaScribe. This soon caught on and he built a powerful network across the SaaS founder and investor community. The blog soon led to the creation of the first ever podcast on B2B SaaS, called The SaaS Revolution show, and that led to the first exclusively SaaS themed meetups in London, Dublin and Berlin.
That was 2016 and since then SaaStock has grown to be the biggest B2B SaaS Conference in Europe with five major conferences a year in five countries and many more local events.
As an entrepreneur Alex Theuma knows the value of shared knowledge from those in a similar sector so it's his mission to share the newest ideas and connect the brightest minds in SaaS so everyone can benefit.

Moeed Bio https://www.proverbialdoor.com/about-us
I was never a natural-born seller. In fact, I had to resign from my first sales job before they were going to fire me; even though I had helped close a £1M deal.
I then joined another company. Then the 2008 crash happened.
I questioned all my life’s choices. It was a dark time. I could hear the judgement from my parents. Sales was not considered a profession and I didn’t know anyone who was a successful seller.
Then, something happened that changed everything.
I was tidying my bookshelf when a book fell on my head. It was an old behavioural neuroscience textbook from my university degree. I stared at this book and realised that I was approaching sales the wrong way round.
I went back deep into my neuroscience training. I re-learned the neuroscience behind human behaviour. I re-learned the WHY and HOW for how we make decisions.
From then on my life completely changed. My sales results exploded. I achieved almost 300% of my annual target in 2009 while everyone else was struggling.
I became a specialist in selling to C-Level executives in $1B+ companies.
In the last 15 years I have interviewed over 428 buyers across 10 industries, 9 functional areas and 3 seniority levels, including CxOs.
All of my Neuroscience knowledge, 20 years of sales experience, extensive interviews and research with buyers, plus my involvement with top-renowned sales researchers like Matt Dixon have been distilled into one of the most powerful sales training and advisory programs in the world.

How Do you get to the Sales Comfort Zone?
Leigh was closing regularly and hitting targets with ease. Life was good, and She had worked extremely hard to get there. Then She was promoted to Sales Manager and EVERYTHING changed…
It didn’t matter how good She was at selling (and She was good), that didn’t help her when it came to leading her sales team.
She struggled. And they struggled.
Even when She told them exactly what to do and how to do it. It didn’t work.
She tried showing them, coaching them and even created checklists to make it easier.
No matter how hard She tried her team was inconsistent…some months great and other months way off their targets.
Nothing seemed to work. And it was SO FRUSTRATING!!!
Her reputation was on the line…and if it continued, She knew She would be sitting in front of my boss defending herself on why they were underperforming.
Me? Defending myself for underperformance…I couldn’t believe it.
After years of trial and error, practice and rigorous testing…I finally figured it out.
I discovered exactly why some sales teams succeed and others don’t. And why some leaders flourish whilst others stagnate. I uncovered what really holds people back – and what to do about it.
Since then I’ve helped thousands of sales teams consistently hit and beat their targets…and become happier in the process.
I’ve helped hundreds of sales leaders fix the very same sales leadership challenges I’d overcome early on in my own journey.

Marcus Cauchi bio here: According to his Accountant "Marcus met the Devil at the crossroads on Route 66 and he sold him a short-term lease on very favourable terms" - Marcus doesnt scale mountains but he sure scales businesses
Marcus mentors, coaches and traisn sales organisations from their salespeople through to CEOs, VPs of Sales & Marketing & Channel Chiefs of technology vendors. They recognise that success is not a function of having hundreds of salespeople or dozens of channel partners who occasionally uncover a piece of business, but rather it’s a function of having a handful of select salespeople & partners who share a common vision, have common goals, and can be counted on to work collaboratively to effectively, efficiently, and consistently uncover new opportunities.
Marcus provides those leaders with the framework, strategy, and tools to build, develop, and sustain those productive sales, marketing & customer success teams and build long term, mutually-beneficial partnerships
How would you characterise your sales team or channel partner relationships. If you wouldn’t use the terms “cooperative”, “productive” and “mutually beneficial,” it might make sense for us to have a brief conversation.
