The future belongs to those who learn from the past

The future belongs to those who learn from the past.

We are lucky that 1984 did not turn out as Orwell predicted. Nevertheless the year impacted Sales Engineering greatly. It was the year when John Care started his career in PreSales, which ultimately led him to write his book “Mastering Technical Sales”.

Since then, of course things have changed dramatically.
Loading tapes into the back of the car? Gone!
Connecting to HQ with a BAUD modem? Gone!

But it’s surprising how many things have however NOT changed. While we learn how B2B Software Sales looked like in the early days, there are still plenty of actionable take-aways on how to:

Manage audiences attention
Convince IT or business to secure budget
Fulfill buyers (and employers) expectations in regards to PreSales
Leverage the trusted advisor status with prospects

Join us on a journey across 40 years of PreSales with John Care that concludes with a look into the crystal ball: What will PreSales be like in 5 to 10 years? Are we going to be replaced by an AI, or will we still have a right to exist?

“Höre endlich auf deinen Kunden zu nerven!” - Interview mit Prof. Dr. Nils Hafner (049)

Es klingt so offensichtlich. Natürlich wollen wir unsere Kunden nicht nerven. Aber es passiert trotzdem. Und zwar jeden Tag.

Prof. Dr. Nils Hafner (dem Titel egal sind) ist Experte für Kundenbeziehungen und Customer Experience. In diesem unterhaltsamen Gespräch, teilt er mit uns seine Ideen, wie du deinen Kunden begeisterst, statt ihn abzunerven.

Hier ist CRM keine Software, sondern ein Teil der Beziehung zwischen Anbieter und Kunde. Nils erläutert, warum Kompetenz und Sympathie wichtig sind für eine gute Customer Experience und wie man die drei elementaren Säulen 1) Kultur 2) Führung und 3) Prozesse optimal miteinander kombiniert.

Angereichert mit Beispielen aus der Praxis diskutieren wir, welchen Beitrag der Vertrieb für eine geile Customer Experience leisten kann. Anschließend werfen wir gemeinsam einen Blick in die Glaskugel, um eine simple Frage zu beantworten: Wie kaufen Unternehmen eigentlich in zehn Jahren komplexe Softwarelösungen ein?

Vielen Dank für ein lehrreiches und kurzweiliges Interview, Nils! Es hat uns mega Spaß gemacht.

🇬🇧 How to not F*CK up ROI - instead proof value to your customers! (048)

Fun Fact: Just 16% of sellers use ROIs for maximum effect.

Do you like better qualification?
Do you like shorter deal cycles?
Do you like larger deals?

Those are three good reasons to consider ROIs more closely, wouldn’t you agree?. It’s time for you to meet “The ROI Guy”. Tom Pisello is a seasoned sales veteran with decades of experience in the realm of B2B Software Sales. It’s his passion and fundamental belief that behind every purchase decision, there needs to be validation in form of a return of investment.

In detail we discuss the following:

Why should you address ROI as early as possible?
Why don't your customers calculate their own ROIs?
How do you get your customers to trust your value proposition?
What’s an appropriate ROI? 200%? 500%? 1000%?
How can a negative ROI still be of value?

Thanks Tom for joining us and sharing your deep insights with us and our listeners.
