Today, we're diving into something that's super close to our hearts - the magic blend of data, sales, and marketing. My journey, along with my co-host Alyssa's, has been nothing short of a data-driven roller coaster. We've seen firsthand how data isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a game changer, transforming how we approach sales and market our brands. From the days of cold calls and printouts to the era of CRMs and sales enablement tools, we've lived through the shift. Data has not only made our jobs cooler but also a lot more effective, helping us understand our customers like never before. We shared a few laughs (and groans) over the challenges of integrating data across sales, marketing, and finance, not to mention navigating the maze of data silos within companies. But the real kicker? A story about how one of our clients used data to optimize their steel sales strategy, showing us the real-world impact of data-driven decision-making. So, grab your headphones and join us for a laid-back chat on all things sales, marketing, and the undeniable power of data. Spoiler alert: we might just brainstorm a next-gen product idea by the end!
