What’s the difference between an owner-funded and an investor-funded company?
In a privately owned business, when sales are down, the owners have the freedom to keep things as they are. If they are okay with it, everyone else is too.
In an investment-owned business, it’s more intentional. When sales are down, everyone becomes concerned because they have certain expectations from outside.
I want you to meet @Damon Pistulka - a mergers & acquisitions expert, host of multiple YouTube shows, and Co-Founder & Managing Director of @Exit Your Way - an organization helping owners and their teams build successful business exits.

How do you retain good people in your team? It’s always a battle. And it’s a battle for any company, not just a growing one. Free lunches, unlimited vacations, massages, and ping-pong tables are insufficient to keep the company culture going.
Perks are great, but at the end of the day, people make their career choices on a lot more meaningful things.
Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers has a lot to share about building fast-growing companies and preparing successful exit strategies. As someone who experienced rapid growth from 30 to 1000 employees over a period of 3 years, he learned quite a few valuable lessons.

Be humble.
Don’t be afraid to surround yourself with people who know more than you do about every aspect of your business – better product managers, marketers, R&D managers, engineers, and everybody else.
Being aware of your limitations is the key to success. This principle still drives him after 20 years in entrepreneurship and 12 years in sales and marketing.

If you’re fulfilled, success is a given. My today’s guest for Coffee with Closers believes that you can do good and do well at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. You don’t need to be apologetic about making money because if you’re not making money, you can’t survive as a business. And consequently, you won’t be able to serve others and work for your mission.
Likewise, if you treat the people in your business as individuals with worth, if you recognize their value, and if you care about them, your business will prosper. Meet Christan Hiscock – Co-Founder and CEO of Kardia, and the leader of 14 thriving companies. His mission is to bring more heart, kindness, compassion, and altruism into the business world.

►What is a heart-centered business and how to build one?
►How to identify the right people for your team
►How to successfully manage multiple different companies
►How to make the best decisions possible for your business
►How to encourage innovative thinking in your organization
Tune in!
Here’s the hard truth founders often don’t want to hear. Whatever you’re building isn’t cool enough to sustain without sales. If you don’t build your entire organization around sales, you’ll fail eventually.
My today’s guest for Coffee with Closers has provided sales training and consulting services to some of the world’s fastest-growing companies like Google, Slack, Tableau, DropBox… And all those companies eventually got sales reps even though many of them would pride themselves on having a product-led growth model.
Meet John Barrows, the CEO of JB Sales and author of the sales book for kids, I Want to be in Sales When I Grow Up. As an inside sales rep, he would make 400 cold calls a week to eventually become the VP of Sales at his first startup, which was later sold to Staples.

In general, developers are more interested in features and functionality, but today’s guest for Coffee with Closers approaches everything from a business perspective.
He believes that before you even start working on something, you need a core unshakeable understanding of your customer - what their challenges are, what their pain points are, and really what drives them. After all, the fundamentals of sales and marketing apply to everything.
Meet Ethan Drower, a software engineer turned entrepreneur who currently serves as the co-founder and Operating Partner of CiteMed - a service that has transformed the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) process and made it more streamlined than ever.
“As developers, we love to create, we love to build,” says Ethan. “However, we tend to assume that the rest of the world values what we build as much as we do. The harsh reality is, that if you are not out there trying to sell your idea in its infancy, you’re wasting time and effort. You don’t really know until you get into the marketplace what your customers need.”

How do you approach PPC in your organization? Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers knows everything about it.
Meet Frederick Vallaeys, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, author, and leading influencer in PCC search marketing. As one of Google’s first 500 employees, Fred quickly established a reputation as a pioneer of PPC marketing as the company’s first AdWords evangelist.
Today, he is a co-founder and CEO of Optmyzr – a leading multi-award-winning PPC management software.
He distinguishes three key roles in PPC advertising - the PPC Doctor, the PPC Pilot, and the PPC Teacher.
To fully grasp these roles, it is important to understand the pilot's role in the plane. They only fly it for about 11 minutes per flight on average. Most of the time, their job is to be there in case something goes wrong and to make sure the inputs in the autopilot are correct.
The same applies to PPC. You have to be there and control the process. When you find out it’s broken, you become a PPC Doctor. When you bring into the machine learning a deep understanding of what impacts your business, you become a PPC teacher.
Coming up:
►What does it mean to be a product evangelist?
►How has the PPC industry changed over the last 15 years?
►Where can you leverage the power of AI and where will human input be necessary?
►Is there a minimum budget for a PPC campaign?

Imagine what it might feel like to become a part of great success at IBM a few years after college, make your first 1$ million at the age of 28, turn down an offer from Steve Jobs to go on and build your own business.
This has actually happened. It’s the real-life story of today’s guest for Coffee with Closers.
Meet Anthony LaPine, a Silicon Valley veteran. He was the leading contributor to the invention of the first disk drive at IBM and later launched his own disk drive company LTC, which was acquired by Kyocera.

We see this all the time with product founders. They think they finally have built a great product that will sell itself, and that people will come and find them.

Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers is Max Rudman - the founder and CEO of Prodly. Max is an entrepreneur driven by the passion to create new products with a track record of success in Enterprise Software. In the past, he founded SteelBrick, which was acquired by Salesforce in 2016.

In this episode of Coffee with Closers, you’ll learn that you can’t solely focus on lead generation as if it’s the only thing that matters. There are a lot of things that go on before lead generation and there’s a whole bunch of things that go post lead generation. All of them are important if you want to get that revenue. Today’s guest says, focusing on the demand gen makes a bit more sense because it’s literally translating into ROI.
Meet Dan Tabaran, CMO at N. Rich, a demand generation-oriented marketing expert focused on maximizing performance and revenue, and as he calls himself, an octopus marketer. With extensive experience in influencing business development and driving commercial initiatives, Dan has helped build businesses from the ground up and increase their value up to half a billion dollars.
Coming up:
• What is article marketing and how does it work?
• How is article advertising different from other kinds of digital advertising?
• How is lead generation different from demand generation?
What are some specific demand gen strategies that are working really well?
• Do you need to gate your content? And how to go about the fill-in forms?
This and so much more in today’s episode. Enjoy!

When the clients pause working with you during tough times like a pandemic, you can get all stressed out and desperately try to figure out how to stay afloat. Or you can take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Maybe you’ll find another opportunity in what seems like a failure.

Here’s a quick bit of wisdom from today’s guest for Coffee with Closers. You can work on a product, customer success, and operations as much as you want, but you’ve got to be able to find your customers. No customers, no business.

What do most people do when they fail in business miserably? They go back and get a job. Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers failed miserably and tried again. Meet Marty Metro, founder, and CEO of UsedCardboardBoxes.
In 2002, he started a chain of eco-friendly retail stores to buy and sell used moving boxes in Los Angeles. He had a dream of a national franchise but his attempt was premature, undercapitalized, and full of logistic flaws.
After 3 long years without an income, Marty was forced to cease all the operations. This left him and his wife with not just an empty bank account but $300 000 of personal debt. He’s here to share how he turned that failure into a multi-million dollar profitable business today.
Coming up:

• What changes does the business have to put in place to make a profit?

Being a great leader means being able to understand every little detail in every process that goes on in the organization. However, understanding the detail is different from being involved in every detail. Today’s guest on Coffee with Closers recommends putting the job of a leader in three buckets: the first is hiring/coaching/firing, the second is designing tools and processes for the team, and the third one is orchestrating and making sure that the work is dispatched to the right people.
Meet Nicolas Vandenberghe, the founder, and CEO of Chili Piper, leading software in Meeting Lifecycle Automation, and of KosmoTime, the Calendar app to keep you on Task. Nicolas started selling newspapers in the streets of Paris in high school and ended up becoming a serial entrepreneur. Before starting his three new ventures, he founded and sold three tech companies. Nicolas is also an aficionado of neuroscience and how people buy and sell things.
In this episode, we’re talking about leadership in fast-growing organizations, uncovering the secrets of becoming a top performer in sales, and learning to implement some principles from neuroeconomics into critical business processes.
Coming up:
• What are some foundational things people should know about making purchase decisions?
• How to get deeper into the personal needs of a prospect?
• How to step away from working in the business and start working on the business?
• How to stay productive and scale your time?
Stay tuned for our conversation with Nicolas for practical advice for entrepreneurs and business leaders on productivity and sales leadership.

Living in today’s world and not comparing yourself with anybody is a zen-level attitude. Every person had to deal with it at some point in their life. However, the comparison is the glue that keeps you stuck. It is also the glue that keeps you in perfectionism. You’re never going to win whatever game you play living that way and showing up from that place.
Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers is convinced that you need to trust yourself and know your end-all-be-all intentions in anything you do, especially if you are an entrepreneur trying to build a successful business.
I want to introduce you to Lisa Guillot. She is a certified transformational leadership coach who’s also an entrepreneur, a podcast host, and author of a book that’s about to be published. During our conversation, Lisa shared practical advice for entrepreneurs and business leaders on how to become a transformational leader as well as why you need to build a personal brand.
“The most fundamental thing every business leader needs to work on is the mindset. If you stay on the track of trying to do everything perfectly, it keeps you out of your genius zone,” says Lisa.
We’re talking a lot about it in the context of leadership and entrepreneurial success. Tune in for this insightful dialogue!
Coming up:
• How to fit your professional ambitions with the lifestyle that you want to create?
• Why you as an entrepreneur should not let the perfect get in the way of good?
• What are some practical things entrepreneurs can do to show up as leaders, not as managers?
• How can you use personal branding to advance in your career?
• How to create more time for yourself as an entrepreneur?

Here’s an insight from today’s guest for Coffee with Closers. Regardless of what we do as entrepreneurs, fundamentally, we’re all in the business of trust. We have to earn and maintain the trust of our customers as they are only going to spend money with us if they believe that we really want to help them.
Unfortunately, a lot of marketing and sales aren’t built on that mentality. It’s built on generating leads, converting people as fast as possible - all to increase ROI. And there’s nothing wrong with ROI, but if we step back and realize that first and foremost, we are in the business of trust and that our main job is to genuinely help people, this realization can shift our mindset.
Meet Tyler Lessard, VP Marketing at Vidyard, host of the Creating Connections show, best-selling author of The Visual Sale, and amateur video creator. He’s a frequent author and speaker on the art of creating remarkable experiences and using video for lead generation and deal acceleration.

• Why company culture plays a huge role when it comes to video production in marketing?
• How has audience expectation from content changed and in what way?
• How to start with video marketing in the B2B space?
• How to earn trust from your prospects as a marketer?
• How to change perspective from focusing on ROI to bringing value first?
• How to get a buy-in from the leadership to do more experimenting?
Stay tuned for the conversation with Tyler where he shares the latest trends, hacks, and best practices for putting video to work in your business.

CEO title looks great on paper, but in reality, it often stands for Chief Everything Officer. And this is a problem for every leader looking to grow and scale their business. It’s hard to be a visionary when you have all those fires to put out.
Today's guest for Coffee with Closers knows the way out. He believes that when it seems like you’ve hit your ceiling and can’t grow beyond a certain limit, you need to change your mindset and your habits, and make sure the entire team is on the same page about where you are heading.

Here’s a perspective shift you didn’t know you needed. You don’t have to be good to start, you just have to BELIEVE you’re great and start. Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers can tell you everything about self-doubt and insurmountable circumstances, which by the way she is successfully overcoming every single day.
Meet Klyn Elsbury, founder of MK Foundation. She is a prolific author, world-renowned speaker, a corporate sales trainer, and a podcast host who’s dedicated her life to helping individuals and businesses succeed. Along with her best-selling book “I am: The Untold Story of Success”, Klyn’s neuroscience-backed strategies and mindset principles have been used throughout corporate America helping executives and their sales teams create a unique competitive advantage.
“I wonder what would have happened if all of us would look at our careers, find that thing we want to go all-in on, and then just tell our brains to shut up and go for it,” says Klyn. “It takes one person with a spirit of insane courage to show what is possible to cause a ripple effect.” In this episode, we are talking about overcoming self-doubt, building businesses, and achieving exceptional results, fast. Klyn is also sharing specific neuroscience tactics you can use for your sales and marketing right now.

Truly authentic brands connect with you on a deeper level. They almost become a part of your soul. And that can’t happen unless every single person in your team is bought into what they are doing.
Today's guest for Coffee with Closers believes that the way you recruit, retain, and engage your employees should be your number one priority.
Meet Tim Kopp, the Executive Chairman & CEO of Terminus and a partner at High Park Ventures. He is recognized as a marketing and technology leader with more than 20 years of experience at global B2B and B2C brands, such as ExactTarget, Coca-Cola, and P&G.
"If I’m selling to Coca-Cola, the enterprise Coca-Cola doesn’t sign the piece of paperwork. There’s a buying committee of three people. Just because you’re in B2B doesn’t mean that you are allowed to suck," says Tim.

If you’re on the receiving end, it’s pretty easy to disseminate between a company that puts you in their sales funnel and the one that’s actually trying to help. That’s why we’re seeing a lot of change in the way sales work.

A lot of people think that if you have a cool product, you’re destined to succeed. But are you, though?
Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers believes that it’s not quite true. Despite everything else, the only thing that predicts how successful your company will be is the market. If you’re in a really great market where you are solving an urgent and important problem, you can have a pretty mediocre product and a team of average people, but still, win. And vice versa, you can have the best team in the world and a truly outstanding product, but if the market is not there, it won’t matter.
Meet TK Kader, the founder of ToutApp, which made him the pioneer in the sales engagement space. He took the company from zero to $7 million of recurring revenue and sold it to Marketo, where he subsequently served as a senior VP of Strategy and helped drive it to the transformation that led to the $4.7 billion on exit. Now, TK successfully coaches early-stage SaaS founders, and he’s not planning to stop growing.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Is the death of enterprise rep real now that we have inside sales?
• What’s the difference between execution and strategy?
• Why mindset matters if you want to achieve success in entrepreneurship?
• What makes someone a visionary?
• Why you may want to go for education marketing rather than traditional content marketing?
• How to build your personal brand and why you need it?

Here’s one super interesting insight. Revenue = frequency x competency. Outwork everybody else and you will win. This advice from today’s guest for Coffee with Closers is a treasure for every junior salesperson (or junior anybody, for that matter). Get your frequency up and competency will naturally follow.

As the founder and CEO of ScaleX.ai, he empowers the sales professionals to become the best versions of themselves by focusing on their mindset, skillset, and toolset.

Meet Marcus Chan, President and Founder at Venli Consulting Group. Marcus went from being the worst rep in the company to becoming an executive member of Forbes Business Council and 2020 LinkedIn Top Voice in Sales.

Do you know the difference between the buffalo and the cattle? When the storm approaches, the buffalo will charge into the storm while the cattle will run away. And the buffalo will get through the storm quicker.

• How investing in yourself and your personal development makes you a better leader;
• How to stay productive, eliminate distractions, and keep the maker vs. manager balance;

How strategic are you about the pricing of your product or service? Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers shared a very interesting insight. The average amount of time a company spends on their pricing each year is less than 15 hours. Not a month, not a week, 15 hours total throughout that year. And if you compare this to the amount of time and effort you spend on your office space or your remote culture and so on, it is not nearly as enough as it should be.
Why is pricing so critical, though? There are three really big growth levers in your business – acquisition, monetization, and retention. Half of your time and budget are going to be spent on acquisition, but a bulk of your growth is going to come from good retention and proper pricing. Anyway. Let’s not reveal all the secrets :)
I want you to meet Patrick Campbell, CEO & Founder of ProfitWell – the software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. Patrick led Strategic Initiatives for Boston-based Gemvara and was an Economist at Google and the US Intelligence community. But against all odds, he ended up being an entrepreneur. Watch this interview to learn more about his fascinating journey.
In this episode, we are talking about first-time entrepreneurship, decentralized leadership, freemium pricing, and other strategies.
• How can servant leadership help build a feedback-driven, open culture?
• What pricing strategies are working well for SaaS companies?
• How not overcomplicate the sales process if you have a slightly more complex pricing model?
• Why is pricing not a single-move but rather a multi-move game?
• How to build a potentially sellable business?

The beginning of the sales process is equally as important as the end of the sales process. And sales development or qualifying an opportunity might even be the hardest part. So how do you approach the sales process the right way? Well, this episode is an opportunity to learn from the best.
Our guest on Coffee with Closers is Trish Bertuzzi – a successful entrepreneur, well-known author and speaker, and a top sales trainer. Not so long ago, she released “The Sales Development Playbook” – a go-to guide for building repeatable pipeline and accelerating revenue growth.
Trish built a services business that has lasted 22 years in the tech space. What is her secret, you may ask? Find out in this interview.
• How to create urgency in outbound sales so that you don’t ruin the deal?
• Why sales are not always about reaching the decision-maker?
• Is there a universal framework for success in sales?
• What matters in social selling? And do you have to become a subject matter expert?

Do you want to build your personal brand? And what if someone told you that there's no point in asking yourself this question? In fact, we're telling you now. Whether you like it or not, everyone has a brand.
It's what people say about you when you're not in the room. It's your reputation and the opportunities that come your way. Everything you do or don't do is a reflection of your brand. The only question is, is it by default or by design?
That said, having a strong personal brand doesn't mean you have to be the loudest, the craziest, or the most controversial person in the industry. The key is to have your audience trust you. Today's guest for Coffee with Closers know everything about it.
Meet Shama Hyder - founder & CEO of Zen Media, best-selling author, keynote speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice in Marketing, and a soon-to-be mom of two. Shama started in social media so early that there wasn't an industry for it yet. Just to illustrate, her Twitter handle is @shama. That's how early she got there.
In this episode, we're going to talk about marketing, branding, leadership, and personal development.
I won’t exaggerate by saying that there’s hardly any person who hasn’t heard about Predictable Revenue. Personally, I read the book a couple of times and I still go back to it once in a while, which makes me twice as excited to present today’s guest for Coffee with Closers.
We are having a conversation with Mr. Aaron Ross, co-CEO PredictableRevenue.com, sales guru, keynote speaker, best-selling author of “Predictable Revenue” and “From Impossible To Inevitable”, a family man, and a father of 9.
Aaron went a long way from sales leader at Salesforce (where he hit unbelievable figures) to becoming an entrepreneur. And he’s definitely someone you’d love to invite to a dream dinner party. So what are you about to hear on today’s episode? Here’s a little sneak peek.
When you’re a coach, there’s no way you’d have your whole team learn how to attack and defend. That skill set would be nice to have, but you would never win. To tell salespeople that they should do all the functions so they are well-rounded is just not going to work. That’s why everyone should have their respective roles and focus on doing it well.
Enjoy the episode!

When they aren’t getting enough business, most entrepreneurs think that’s because of the price. It must be too high. But is it the real reason though? Our today’s guest believes it probably is not. There’s so much competition out there, and one thing that determines whether or not someone is going to do business with you is an assessment of risk, meaning “If I do business with you, what are the chances that I’ll lose money on this deal?” Take that risk away!
Meet Charles E. Gaudet II, CEO & Founder of Predictable Profits, serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and advisor. Charles is what they call a “born entrepreneur.” He’s been interested in business since the age of four and started his first real company straight out of college. Despite all the difficulties, Charles managed to achieve success. Now, he’s coaching both seven and eight-figure entrepreneurs and helping them scale their businesses. In this interview, we’re going to discuss how to systematize and grow your business, why you shouldn't try to clone yourself but rather divide your expertise into several areas, and why you should disconnect from time to time as a business owner.
•What are the 3 Ps of growing a business and how to apply these to your organization?
•How to make sure that you’re protecting yourself from a massive downturn like COVID-19?
•What’s the recipe for growth in B2B and B2C business?

All the sales gurus out there say, go to LinkedIn, go to Instagram, see what your prospects are talking about, and reference that in your email. Today’s guest believes this is absolutely no use for the actual sales. If you as a salesperson don’t nail the relevant business pain, a compelling value narrative, or something that could have ROI, why would a prospect agree to meet you?

Entrepreneurship is a very humbling experience. The day you start, you think you’re going to change the world. But then customers say no, investors say no, recruits say no, and that’s when you realize you have no magic bullets. Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers is convinced that even after 20+ years in business, he hasn’t got any. He still needs to grind through it. Meet Godard Abel - the co-founder and CEO of G2 - probably the most popular business software and services review platform to date. Godard’s story is mind-blowing. He went from almost getting bankrupt with his first venture to building multiple successful tech companies acquired by giants like Oracle and Salesforce. In this episode, we’re talking about the history of G2, which started not with the idea but with a vision for company culture. Godard is also sharing some of his lessons learned over the many years in business.
What is a “peak culture” and what it takes to build this kind of company? What’s the key to keeping the team together? What role does vision play in a company’s growth and success? Why negative feedback is more powerful than praise? What’s more important in building a business – systems and processes or vision?

When you start your business at a young age, you always feel like you need to compensate for it. You’re under pressure to know it all, so you try extra hard for people to take you seriously. But at the end of the day, age is just a number. What matters is real-life experience, passion, and vision.
Today’s guest is also one of those early starters. I’m happy to introduce you to Andrew Hoeft - Founder & CEO of Pinpoint Software. He started his business when he was 18 years old, feeling all kinds of pressure, but over the years in business, he became successful and realized that you don’t have to know all the answers and get comfortable asking for help. In this episode, Andrew shares his story of how his day job at a grocery store gave him an idea for software that solves a real-life problem, how he turned his idea into a thriving technology and SaaS company, and what lessons he learned along the way.
What are the challenges of starting a business at a young age?
Where’s the line between customer service and customer success?

Here’s a little insight from today’s guest. Mindset matters. If you’re having trouble being successful in your personal life or career, it means that you have not decided yet to be successful.

Don’t give up before the miracle happens, even if you think that the client is never going to work with you. And don’t be afraid to hire people who are smarter than you. They are going to be the ones who will come up with such ways of doing things you wouldn’t even think about.
These pieces of advice are coming from someone who immediately saw the opportunity in him being laid off from a 5 billion dollar software company and someone who got into Harvard simply because he wasn’t afraid to try (stay tuned till the end!).
Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers is a living proof that you can achieve everything you want if you believe in yourself. Meet Terrence Boylan – founder and CEO of PacketLogix, a successful entrepreneur since 2000, book author, and a super-smart guy you want to keep talking to forever.

Throw out your old-school business management textbooks. Doing the right thing doesn’t have an ROI. The best strategic moves aren’t always measurable. Today’s guest is convinced that what makes a sale successful is not a “methodology” but being a human and treating your customers like one. And I couldn’t agree more! Meet David Meerman Scott, entrepreneur, author, speaker, advisor, a father, a passionate surfer, and an amazing storyteller. After being fired from a highly-paid job in marketing and sales, David had decided to take a path of his own. Today, he is an author of 11 books, including super-popular “New Rules of Marketing and PR” - a go-to piece for C-suite execs looking for answers to their marketing questions. In this episode, we’re discussing marketing, sales, and David’s latest work “Fanocracy” - a book that will change the way you see business. What pieces of sales and marketing advice should probably be ignored? Why it’s more important to focus on buyer’s challenges rather than products and services? Why “fandom” approach in marketing is powerful? And how to leverage it if you’re representing unsexy industries? Why we shouldn’t look at marketing as an expense and what we should be thinking instead?

Shut your mouth, ask questions, keep your product in the bag, and learn as much as you can. You wouldn’t expect to hear such advice as a salesperson, would you?
