Pod

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄❄️🎅🏻 From all of us at Pod HQ, we wish you and your loved ones a safe and restful Christmas.

We know that every day for sellers is a nonstop hustle. Hopefully, things are finally winding down, contracts are coming in signed (🤞) , and your targets are smashed 🚀 💰 Whether your break kicks off today or not, everyone at Pod HQ is sending out safe, happy, restful wishes for the holiday season. 🎄🎅 🎁 🤶 🦌

For Amit Rakoff-Bellman, conducting research for a client call sometimes meant 1.5-2 hours of work, taking away valuable selling time. But being prepared for a sales meeting is crucial to the opportunity's success, so how do you save some time and still kill it on the call? 🤔 2 words: Meeting Brief. 📄 Last week, Amit dug into Pod’s newest feature with our content writer, Mariah Moore, to talk about how Meeting Brief gives him the findings he needs and the time back he deserves. 💪🏻 Check out the newest case study and video interview here: https://lnkd.in/ehyBAa54 #WorkWithPod #Sales #SalesDevelopment #SalesEnablement

We hosted our first Pod holiday party 🎄🎅🏻 It was more than just great food, drinks, and laughs—we took a moment to reminisce the highlights of the year and all the incredible things we’ve accomplished together. 🙌 Building a company is nothing short of a rollercoaster. There are many highs, lows, and learnings along the way. Nothing of it is possible without our people. It was an opportunity to RECOGNIZE our Podders 💜 Everyone got a "Best of" award — celebrating the best initiative-takers, innovation-makers, process-shakers, and rule-breakers. The modest (but quite nice) trophy is a token to remind each person how appreciated and invaluable they are. Guillaume - yours is waiting for you on your next visit 😏 People want to feel like they are part of something and that their contributions make an impact. We’ve got a solid crew here at Pod 🫰 If you lead a team, or a company, or even just part of a group, take a moment to celebrate their work. It goes a long way.

🚨 🌶️ Spicy #sales take alert! 📣 According to an article on Medium, #sellers dread and will sometimes even cancel meetings that: 👨🏻💻 Yield no fruit, 👨🏻💻 Prove to be a circus in the making, 👨🏻💻 Have no agenda, no progress motive, no alignment, 👨🏻💻 Have people who cannot stop talking, 👨🏻💻 Have a $0 budget set aside. Would you move a meeting or cancel it if it shows signs of disorganization and chaos? We wouldn’t blame you. 👀 In case you missed it, the last edition of our newsletter, Pipeline Perspectives, explores this topic (and that spicy article). 🗞️ Check it out here, and subscribe to get the newsletter first thing, right in your inbox: https://lnkd.in/exp2UmMP
