🍑 Reporting from the couch today and gutted to share I won't be presenting at Sales Enablement Collective's Atlanta event today despite months of preparation and excitement. Why? Loved ones thought their illness wasn't "a big deal" and came into my home before telling me they'd been sick. 🤒 🎗 Reminder: Even if *you* aren't immunocompromised and a cold isn't a "big deal" to you...plenty of us ARE. Myself included. There's no such thing as a "minor cold" to many so just let us know you've been ill we get it (we *really* get it and won't judge). I'll be sharing my content here to make it up to the community because despite feeling poorly I feel guilty for being unable to honor a commitment. Sending good vibes to everyone in Atlanta because I know this is going to be a good one! To my fellow immunocompromised peeps, I'm raising my peppermint tea to you this morning. Keep truckin'! 🍵 #salesenablement #sales #enablement #revenueenablement #salestraining

At Vena our CORE and that's the C in our core values starts with Customer Trust. What does this mean? It means you deliver on your promise, every promise. You operate from a customer-first point of view. Every action is taken with an empathetic lens through your customers eyes. You prioritize your customer and future customers first. It doesn't always mean they are right but it does mean their needs are the right priority, and the first priority. So many companies say they are customer-centric, but when brands and companies are called to task, they often start with what's easiest, best, most convenient for them or of concern for them. It starts with their goals, their teams and their challenges. Things go wrong, s*it happens but how you show up when it does go astray is what matters. And as a consumer, buyer and leader, I experience the failures of customer-centricity everyday. As a professional, I aim to start and finish with empathy in service of those we set out to help; our customer. It's that simple. Where do you start from? Make sure it's not yourself. 🌱 #customerfirst #values #leadership

A few hours after I posted my *update* on here last week, Adam Meshot sent me this photo I sent him a couple of years ago. "When you do things from your soul, people really dig that sh*t." He followed it up with "chase your dreams girl!" This coaster, this text, and this quote means so much to me. The coaster - Adam picked it up at a meeting with Stance over 5 years ago, and dropped it off on my desk. It stayed there, a constant reminder, through my time at Cordial HQ, WFH in San Diego, and now it's in a box somewhere in my home office in NJ. The text - Everyone needs someone like Adam cheering for them. Adam and I haven't caught up in a couple of years, but his nudge and support showed up right when I needed it. More people cheering for making a ruckus, less people seeding doubt and fear. The quote - How does one even begin the journey of doing things from their soul? Here's what's helped me so far: - A really great coach and therapist - Creating time to turn off all the exterior noise - Listening inward - Trusting your instincts (aka your biology) I'm holding myself accountable to continuing to share the messy process of really unpacking this concept, and aligning the work I do in a genuine, meaningful way. And in the meantime, do sh*t that people really dig.

T-2 weeks until Sales Enablement Collective's Boston event! Can't wait to talk about "making RKO more than a new year's resolution" with Ashleigh Apperson. (You *know* I'm bringing metrics into the session!) The real question is...will she make an appearance in her inflatable t-rex suit? 🦖 #sales #salesenablement #revenueenablement #enablement #salestraining

As we are in the thick of eventSZN, its the perfect time to review the Postal "State of Swag Report". A few keys to a successful swag plan: 🔑 Quality matters most—people want swag that will last the test of time (not just though the event) 🔑 Choice is powerful— don't tell people what they want, let them choose! 🔑 Swag isn’t just for show— good swag gets used, not left on on a table 3 booths down. 🔑 Non-wearables > wearables - if it's not your company, you probably won't wear the t-shirt, but there are tons of options to get your brand out there! 🔑 Sustainability matters - on-demand swag options help reduce both waste and cost!

This is the BIG question with the upcoming sunset of tax benefits for pass-through entities. There are a lot of pros and cons to weigh on whether you should be a C corp.

Adding payroll to your product offering seems like a smart move, but are your customers really interested? 🤔 Payroll is an incredibly sticky service - the average customer relationship lasts 8 years. So convincing people to switch providers can be an uphill battle. BUT the payroll industry ranks dismally low in customer satisfaction scores, with a rating of just 68/100. People are clearly not thrilled with their current payroll software options! This represents a massive opportunity to swoop in, take over that relationship, and deliver a superior experience. 💡 Data shows that when SaaS applications embed payroll capabilities: ✅ 70% of customers adopt the payroll offering ✅ Annual contract values increase by 40% As this embedded payroll opportunity becomes more widely known, companies like Rollfi are perfectly positioned to help SaaS businesses capitalize on it. The payroll market is ripe for disruption so if you’ve been meaning to check it out, shoot me a message!

I heard someone say, “Revenue operations are just a fancy term for what we have always done.” But here’s the kicker: If you’re still running your business thinking that way, you’re leaving money on the table. Effective RevOps means viewing your operations as an integrated strategy, not just a collection of departments doing their own thing. 1) Align your teams—make sure sales, marketing, and customer service are all pointing in the same direction. 2) Get clear on the data—track metrics that actually matter, not just numbers that sound good. 3) Streamline processes—identify bottlenecks and eliminate them instead of letting them become part of your routine. 4) Invest in technology—use the right tools to automate and optimize. 5) Always seek feedback—your team and customers will show you the way forward if you listen. When you stop treating RevOps like an afterthought and start embracing it as a core driver of success, you’ll find growth so much easier. What’s one change you could make to align your operations today?

Take a listen to this Ops Cast podcast episode hosted by Michael Hartmann and Mike Rizzo that breaks down why #finance and #marketing might not be as different as we think! Both functions are deeply tied to value creation—finance by managing resources to drive profitability and marketing by shaping perceptions and driving demand. When these two work together, they align strategy and execution to not only grow revenue but also build long-term, sustainable success. Highly recommend this episode to anyone looking to bridge the gap between the numbers and the narrative! #Finance #Marketing #BusinessStrategy #ValueCreation #CFOs #CMOs
