Imagine having a 600X multiplier for a sale: selling once, but having 600 deals come out of the sale.

That can be the power of a successful channel partner strategy - and is the dream of many B2B tech executives I speak to.

But getting a successful channel partner strategy off the ground is really hard.
This is the topic I discussed with Angelo Santoro, the founder and the CEO of Energis.Cloud.

Tune in to learn:

- How to scale a complex B2B company internationally through channel partners

- The difference between real and fake partners (and why partner qualification is key)

- How do you get from signing a partner deal to them actually starting to sell for you?

Packed with practical insights built over the years, this episode is a must-listen for anyone considering selling via channel partners.

How do you win against big companies such as Microsoft?

That was the topic that I got a chance to discuss with Paul Van Coillie, the founder and the CEO of Arco Information.

Arco Information started before internet became mainstream, and the company is still going strong in one of the most competitive markets of digitalizing paper-based processes.
What made Arco competitive throughout all these years?

They focused on narrow verticals, and they came up with simple, creative ways to engage their audience — even in virtual events.

Tune in to learn:

- How to get 90% of people to show to your online events (and how to make sure they stay engaged)?
- How to choose which sectors to focus on?
- How do you adapt your communication to make them specific to the sector and the target functions?

Too much competition? Here is how a B2B company can create and market a new category.
That was the topic that I got a chance to discuss with Alexander Carpentier, the CEO of Esoptra.
I’m a big fan of what Andy Raskin calls “name the new game”.

Instead of merely attacking the problem (as most B2B brands do), you attack the status quo, the “old game”. You are effectively naming the reason your competitors are becoming obsolete AND introducing a sense of urgency.

“To survive in the newly emerging world”, you say, “what you’re doing today (and what the competitors offer) is not enough. The companies winning in the emerging world play a new game. And our solution is designed ground-up to help you win the new game.
Esoptra is “naming the new game” in a world of high-value goods & services : they are introducing a category of Product-Led Communication.

Tune in to learn:

- How do you come up with a new category?
- The problem with a new category is that your prospects are not aware of it. How to educate your market about the new category and create demand for your product?
- Educating your customers takes time. How do you shorten your sales cycle?
- How do you find early adopters?

Thanks Alexander for nailing the topic!

How can you build virality in a complex B2B product — even when you’re selling to large organisations?

That was the topic that I got a chance to discuss with Kaius Meskanen, the founder and CEO of Choicely on our podcast.

Choicely’s doing what Wix and Squarespace did with websites — but for native mobile apps. Thanks to their tech, you can quickly build native apps without any coding.

But check out their go-to-market strategy.

Here’s a mistake that many B2B companies make. Because their tech could potentially be used by many segments, they try to target as broad as possible. But ‘he who chases two rabbits, catches none’.

Choicely realized this early enough. They carefully chose their target segments and built their whole positioning around it.

The results?

An inherent viraility in their product. An easy answer to one of the biggest sales objections.
And as a side-effect, they have been called by some investors “the most entertaining tech company”. I think Kaius has one of the most interesting jobs in tech, with Choicely apps powering events and shows such as Miss Universe, a football cup and a CBS talkshow.

Tune in to listen to their story.

If repeat / recurring business is important for your company, maybe it’s time to drop your sales and marketing teams.

Let me explain.

If you are like most B2B companies I know, majority of your business will come from 10-20% of you best (repeat) customers.

And if this is the case for you too, maybe it’s time to replace individual marketing, sales and customer success teams with a single revenue operation team.

Today I spoke with Erwin De Baetselier, the CEO of Luceda Photonics who shares this vision — and has made it a reality.

You’ll learn:
* How to get the people who are used to working in silos - to switch to revenue operations
* Why you should reconsider how you incentivise your sales reps
* The main KPIs and who should have a leading role: head of sales, marketing or the client success officer?
* The main pitfalls of implementing an integrated revenue operations team
* How to (not to) approach a B2B CEO if you’re selling complex products or services?
This short 22 minute interview is packed with unique insights.
