4 Prospecting "Power Plays" That Guarantee Bigger Commission ChecksVideos and Podcats

What happens when three powerhouse sales and marketing pros are each given a microphone to discuss improving prospect outreach?You get four power plays that will break through the (inbox) noise.Our very own Kyle Coleman (CMO) and Devin Reed (Head of Content) sat down with Morgan J Ingram, founder of Ascension Media Productions, to talk about why most prospecting tactics fail and, of course, how to flip the script to close more deals using four proven power plays.First, here's why most prospecting tactics failKyle kicked off the conversation by being quite blunt:Most prospecting tactics fail because "people don't want to do hard things. People expect some shortcuts, some easy buttons they can press, and some silver bullets that will fill their funnel. It's just not how it works. To be successful, you have to do the hard work. You have to do the things that other people aren't able or willing to do to break through the noise and to stand out."Morgan leaned into a cooking analogy: "Everyb

Change the way you think about revenue and start winning more revenue moments.

Last week I spoke with the Head of RevOps at a company that’s doing $1B in ARR in their SaaS business.I told him I could identify 15% of their revenue they’re losing right now to revenue leak.That’s $150,000,000.They were shocked – how?Here’s what I told them:You’re stuck in a financial model and not thinking about the actual process in which you run revenue. You need to know:1. How your teams are running revenue.2. The process behind your team's 13 week cadence.3. How that’s going from the reps all the way up to execs.Once you get out of the number crunching exercise, you can start optimizing how you run revenue and collaborate in every meeting.That was the “aha!” moment.Change the way you think about revenue and start winning more revenue moments.

5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became a CEO

I’ve been Clari’s CEO for almost 11 years. In that time, we’ve felt the adrenaline rush from reaching new heights and the turbulence during uncertain times.

How to unleash the power of relentless customer focus

As a revenue leader, your job is to build for customer needs. Plain and simple. You build for the needs your customer says out loud.

Eliminating manual processes saves Black Swan Data 20+ hours per week with Clari

 A lack of transparency into pipeline.Slipped deals with no real reason.A constant “pushing back” of pipeline.No accurate representation of pipeline number.These were several of the “huge challenges” Greg Reardon, Director of Growth Operations and Strategy at Black Swan Data, faced when making data-driven decisions.Black Swan Data is a London-based technology and data science company. It uses a proprietary data analytics software platform, Trendscope, to predict future market trends.Black Swan was running all their forecasting through spreadsheets.

Products Mode and Multiple Line Items

 My organization wants to see the product make up of each of their opportunities. The problem I’m running into is that my account detail/grid only shows one line item, and doesn’t show the full product mix that is associated with the opportunity. For example, if my seller has put together an opportunity for products A & B the grid and detail will only reflect the product name/product code of the line items with most quantity.  I’ve tried grouping my opportunities and layering in Product information in a stacked bar chart, but the problem I run into with this is Clari buckets some of the Products into “Other” rather than displaying their full name/product code. This could work, but I don’t know how to prevent Clari from bucketing some values into “Other”. Does anyone know how to display all products associated with an opportunity either in the Opportunity Grid/Detail/groupings? Or, does anyone know how to prevent Clari from bucketing my groupings into “other” so I can show an accura
