Welcome back to be tob growth.
I'm Loggan lyles with sweet fish media.
2
00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:13.310
Today I'm joined by Stephen Kellum.
He's the svp of marketing and alliances over
3
00:00:13.349 --> 00:00:16.070
a three hundred and sixty insite.
Steven, welcome to the show. How's
4
00:00:16.070 --> 00:00:19.429
it going today? It's going well. Thank you. Appreciate you having me
5
00:00:19.750 --> 00:00:23.579
absolutely Stephen. We're going to be
talking about an area that's right in your
6
00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:29.899
wheelhouse today, optimizing your partnerships and
your alliances. Before we get into today's
7
00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:32.899
conversation, could you tus up,
give us a little bit of background and
8
00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:36.250
yourself and what you and your team
are up to these days? Sure you
9
00:00:36.289 --> 00:00:38.609
know. I'll start with three hundred
and sixty insides, because three sixty in
10
00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:42.289
sites of fascinating company. I would
say it's a little bit of a Unicorn
11
00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:46.369
in the incentive market today because three
hundred and sixty inside covers both the B
12
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:50.719
Toc and the B tob and does
both very, very well. In terms
13
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.640
of three hundred and sixty really does
is a we're global incentive company. Are
14
00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.000
Focus is on providing software, services, analytics, all of those ingredients,
15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.750
key ingredients to help companies leverage and
maximize the spend that they have on the
16
00:01:03.790 --> 00:01:10.909
indirect channel. So we're all about
how do we help you understand your channel
17
00:01:10.909 --> 00:01:15.069
and how do we help you make
your investments as pay off as strong as
18
00:01:15.109 --> 00:01:18.700
possible? And then for my end
of Gosh, let's say I've been a
19
00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:23.620
partner. I ran a managed service
company in the Bay area around San Francisco
20
00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:27.780
for several years old, sold that
business and then was in the manufacturing side,
21
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:33.409
built the channel from zero to twozero
partners and then we sold that business
22
00:01:33.769 --> 00:01:37.370
and then I ended up in the
incentive business about ten years ago, sort
23
00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:40.530
of sitting in the middle, and
I never really had paid that much attention,
24
00:01:40.609 --> 00:01:46.129
as a partner and as a manufacturer, about that niche of incentives and
25
00:01:46.329 --> 00:01:52.040
how powerful incentives could be to drive
behavior and drive to set success in the
26
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.640
indirect channel market. Yeah, absolutely. Well, you mentioned, you know,
27
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.989
one part of your career journeys so
far going from zero to several thousand
28
00:02:01.390 --> 00:02:07.030
partners and that leading to some tremendous
business success. So I'd like to jump
29
00:02:07.109 --> 00:02:08.789
in right there. One thing that
I know you're keen to talk about,
30
00:02:08.830 --> 00:02:15.150
Stephen, is doing your relationship with
your partners through the same lens as the
31
00:02:15.349 --> 00:02:20.780
customer experience mindset that you have towards
your in consumers or your end buyers.
32
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:23.699
Tell us a little bit about how
you see that and where you see maybe
33
00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:28.699
some of your customers approaching this successfully? Sure, I think there's a couple
34
00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:32.770
angles to that. One is I
truly believe that we're in a time where
35
00:02:34.009 --> 00:02:38.409
be tob can learn from BBC and
BBC can learn from be to be a
36
00:02:38.449 --> 00:02:45.560
couple of examples, the B Toc
space has understood the consumer and is right
37
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.800
there along the buyers journey. I
mean, Gosh, ten years ago Google
38
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.360
had zero moment of truth and everyone's
heard less of different versions of of the
39
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.710
buyers journey, and the BBC has
really understood that and understood that consumer and
40
00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:04.830
what they've needed to do to adopt, adapt and adopt certain behaviors to create
41
00:03:04.949 --> 00:03:10.270
that bridge and that create that bond
between the reseller and the buyer. And
42
00:03:10.509 --> 00:03:15.020
the BETB groups, I truly believe, are learning from the B Toc and
43
00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:21.500
how to treat partners, dealers,
agents, resellers and I don'm not sure
44
00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:23.900
it really matters what you call them. They're the indirect route to market,
45
00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:30.729
right and they're learning from B Toc
how to treat those resellers like a true
46
00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:35.770
customer, and that's been fascinating to
watch how the B tob organizations are really
47
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:38.770
really taking that on. And then
on the B Toc side, many of
48
00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:49.639
the BETC's are really starting to understand
what betobes have historically built from channel motivation
49
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.710
and incentives and really technology stacks that
help drive success. And so I truly
50
00:03:54.750 --> 00:04:00.389
believe they're that there's this collision going
on and the best of the best are
51
00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:04.469
learning from each side and and learning
what they can do to be successful.
52
00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:09.150
I love that parallel. Look at
be, to be and BC. I
53
00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:13.580
always think that those those comparisons can
be really eye opening for us. As
54
00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:17.660
you were talking about folks in Bob
in your network and maybe your customer pool,
55
00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:21.699
Steven, are there some good examples
where they've taken that to heart,
56
00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:29.290
applying that CX mentality to their partner
relationships, either reducing friction, making it
57
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:33.250
easier to work with them, nurturing
that relationship with content? Any kind of
58
00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:38.639
shining examples that come to mind as
you're talking to folks about, you know,
59
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.480
how they should take this approach that
maybe you're repeating and saying, Hey,
60
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.399
you know, these guys did something
really interesting and look at what it's
61
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.480
done for their partner relationships. Sure, and I think the leaders leaders here
62
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.389
are looking at it holistically and maybe
I'll you could even break it down into
63
00:04:55.509 --> 00:05:00.029
the several groups. There are the
organizations that are saying, Hey, I
64
00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:01.829
need to look at this, I
need to be serious about this, this
65
00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:06.620
is going to impact my business and
I need to take knowledge in and build
66
00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.819
us out and fare out where I
need to go, and maybe we'll call
67
00:05:10.939 --> 00:05:16.620
that an awakening, and organizations that
are starting to now invest in their organization
68
00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:23.089
across all the touch points to get
there. And then there's organizations that have
69
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:28.850
been doing this for it ex period
of time and are starting to take an
70
00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:32.810
iteration approach and they've looked at this
and they've looked at the touch points and
71
00:05:32.850 --> 00:05:38.639
they've broken down a lot of the
silos and they're starting to understand this next
72
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.680
iteration. And you could probably look
at it a pyramid. I think the
73
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.120
broadest group is maybe the awakening group. Well, there's a lacker group underneath
74
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.879
it. They're just as right,
and there always is. It's a bell
75
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.589
curve or a pyramid, however you
want to look at it. And then
76
00:05:50.589 --> 00:05:56.269
there's the awakening crowd and there's a
crowd as iteration. And then, to
77
00:05:56.350 --> 00:06:00.230
be realistic, there are a few
at the top who have had this for
78
00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:04.500
several years and their organizations where it's
been demanded from a C suite. And
79
00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:09.379
maybe they started that way, maybe
their culture was that way in the beginning.
80
00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:15.180
Maybe their sea suite had a key
understanding of that B Toc and that
81
00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:20.370
D to be or had a key
understanding of CX long before people were actually
82
00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:27.930
using the term CX. And they're
taking that culture in and they knew intrinsically
83
00:06:28.089 --> 00:06:30.769
that it wasn't a single touch point
or even an incentive. And while the
84
00:06:30.889 --> 00:06:35.199
dollars maybe we're having it heavy incentives, there were ten of the touch points
85
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.639
that a reseller came in contact with
in that organization and they already knew that
86
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.680
it was a culmination of all those
touch points that created customer experience and they
87
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.470
just did it. So I think
that's a pretty narrow point at the top
88
00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:57.069
and I would say their vast majority
are in the iteration or the wakening categories.
89
00:06:57.110 --> 00:07:00.829
Yeah, absolutely, and as you
move further up to the top of
90
00:07:00.910 --> 00:07:04.259
that pyramid or the Bell Curve,
I imagine that folks that are further along
91
00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:10.819
here. Are Leveraging a fair amount
of data is they're pulling it from various
92
00:07:10.899 --> 00:07:15.209
sources to get those insights into what
is the customer experience like today? Where
93
00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:18.689
is there some disconnect those sorts of
things? Can you speak to that a
94
00:07:18.769 --> 00:07:23.529
little bit, Steven? Am I
right in saying that that's a key piece
95
00:07:23.569 --> 00:07:29.329
here into making a better experience and
really being able to drive success in the
96
00:07:29.370 --> 00:07:34.160
channel? So I think you could
look at technology stack and and how important
97
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:41.800
that has been. But the technology
stack needs to get integrated and there's always
98
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.990
been different pieces in the technology stack. The leaders have figured out how to
99
00:07:46.149 --> 00:07:51.790
pull all that technology stack together to
create a much better understanding of what that
100
00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:56.790
what that experience really looks like.
And it's and it's once again, every
101
00:07:56.870 --> 00:08:00.259
touch point along the way. It
used to be that you would have an
102
00:08:00.259 --> 00:08:03.540
organization, for instance, that would
look at a PRM, a partner relationship
103
00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:11.540
management tool, and how the partner's
experience started with an onboarding process and really,
104
00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:15.250
whether it's insurance or whether it's technology
or HBAC or whatever it may be,
105
00:08:15.769 --> 00:08:18.009
particularing the B Tob Space, that
they've always understood that there was a
106
00:08:18.129 --> 00:08:24.009
front in touch for that for that
reseller, and so that's been one technology.
107
00:08:24.410 --> 00:08:26.879
But then you had marketing, maybe
way over at the other end,
108
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.080
and there was a disconnect or maybe
that marketing set inside a link of some
109
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.960
sort of portal there. And what
we're seeing those folks at the top understand
110
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.710
is taking all of those Datas and
taking all those technologies and it minimum you're
111
00:08:43.710 --> 00:08:48.830
leaking in together with apis right,
and figuring out how this data needs to
112
00:08:48.909 --> 00:08:54.629
flow seamlessly back and forth and,
most importantly, giving access at a sea
113
00:08:54.669 --> 00:08:58.379
suite, at a VP level,
at a channel chief level, at a
114
00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:03.419
director level, at an administrative at
a program level, and building this visibility
115
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:07.139
appropriate to whatever level that is,
and being able to pass that data,
116
00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:11.649
not just that data, but that
analytics around that data, up and down
117
00:09:11.129 --> 00:09:16.610
and the folks that are really digging
into that and demanding that. And by
118
00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:18.210
the way, it's a lot of
work. It's not easy because you got
119
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:24.250
to get everybody definitely move in the
same direction. So I think the folks
120
00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:28.039
at the top are taking technology and
they're taking data and and they're applying data
121
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.360
science to it. Sorry, I'll
go down a little bit of a rabbit
122
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.440
hole here. I see like you
know that that the folks that are leading
123
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.950
this as well are bringing data science
into this and whether it's someone like three
124
00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:43.110
six who comes in and brings their
own data science to it, or whether
125
00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:48.190
it's the data science that was in
the direct business and allowing access to the
126
00:09:48.870 --> 00:09:50.950
indirect side, which, by the
way, it's fabulous to start to look
127
00:09:50.950 --> 00:09:54.539
at it as hey a go to
market, whether it's direct or indirect,
128
00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:58.419
and use that data science, or
if it's an organization that's, you know,
129
00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:05.500
ninety nine percent through the channel,
they're investing in true data science so
130
00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:07.610
they can they can get decision great
data right. I love that. Some
131
00:10:07.889 --> 00:10:13.049
some really great insights there and I
love the idea of bringing in all of
132
00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:16.850
that data on, if you do
have a direct and an indirect sales channel,
133
00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:20.960
looking at those holistically as well as
bringing together, you know, all
134
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.240
sorts of different data sets from your
different parts of your text act, you
135
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.399
know, kind of making that transition
from from text act to relationship. You
136
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.200
know, today's conversation, Steven,
is all about managing those relationships with your
137
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.470
partners and your kind of big on
this idea of you know, enablement is
138
00:10:39.590 --> 00:10:45.190
more than just the technology. It
partners resellers, channel partners, whatever the
139
00:10:45.309 --> 00:10:48.870
case is for you, if that
is part of your go to market.
140
00:10:48.269 --> 00:10:52.539
enablement doesn't just mean technology. It
goes it goes deeper than that. Can
141
00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:56.620
you talk to us a little bit
about where some of your customers are successfully
142
00:10:56.659 --> 00:11:03.980
enabling their partners and how they think
about that concept of enablement in indirect or
143
00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:09.289
channel sales? Right in the intensive
world enableing sales market enablement is really risen
144
00:11:09.370 --> 00:11:13.409
to the top. There's a coming
out there are called forest or who into
145
00:11:13.490 --> 00:11:18.639
coming out their club, serious decisions
and serious decisions. Did a study last
146
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:28.639
year five hundred fortune two thousand companies
and the number one concern for CMOS who
147
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.669
have a channel was sales and marketing
enablement. And I find it fascinating because
148
00:11:33.830 --> 00:11:39.509
historically sales and marketing enablement, it
was, or enablement in general, was
149
00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:46.070
a place where India F market development
funds are call out funds were were leverage
150
00:11:46.509 --> 00:11:50.899
and the whole idea originally was in
technology space you had complex sales and you
151
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:56.139
would take these dollars and you would
invest these dollars with resellers to enable them
152
00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:01.529
to understand how to sell the product
well, because when you're talking about data
153
00:12:01.649 --> 00:12:05.809
centers when you're talking about some of
the technology that's historically been out there with
154
00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:11.129
companies, from being where to to
HP to Ibn, making it pretty complex.
155
00:12:11.490 --> 00:12:16.679
So there was always a lot of
investment in enablement from a technical perspective.
156
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.360
What's been fascinating is to see the
rest of the world start to see
157
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.159
that it doesn't matter whether it's technology
or not. You have a big hole
158
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.070
in most cases in your resellers capabilities, whether it's a tire, whether it's
159
00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:43.190
a tenzero refrigerator, two hundredzero dollar
kitchen redo or hundred thousand dollar home smart
160
00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:48.419
home upgrade. The resellers in general
are not strong in sales and marketing.
161
00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:50.820
Then don't get me wrong, they
still need, when in a lot of
162
00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:56.500
smart investments and you can get fairly
complex as technology starts to move into just
163
00:12:56.539 --> 00:13:01.889
about any manufacturing and that's probably a
whole separate conversation. You need that technical
164
00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:05.049
enablement. But the technical enablement isn't
going to do anybody any good if you
165
00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:11.850
create can't creed demand generation at the
top of the funnel, and every vertical
166
00:13:11.049 --> 00:13:16.840
has now understood that, in particular
with the buyers journey, we have to
167
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.039
enable our resellers to meet that buyer
along their journey with affirmation, maybe not
168
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.669
information, but maybe affirmation and run
while we need to be able to connect
169
00:13:26.669 --> 00:13:30.870
with that fire right at the top
of the funnel and which is where I
170
00:13:30.909 --> 00:13:35.029
think resolls are most weak in their
marketing. So how do we create enablement
171
00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:37.429
there? And there's two partner for
partner and through partner marketing. Right,
172
00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:41.389
which one are we going to use? Where we're going to spend our dollars?
173
00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:43.580
How do we generate the top of
the funnel of the most opportunities?
174
00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:48.620
And that's great. So you train
them technically so they're ready to respond with
175
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:50.620
a product, whether it's really simple
and you don't really need it or whether
176
00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:56.690
it's complex. Now youve invested in
marketing enablement and you created demand at the
177
00:13:56.730 --> 00:14:00.129
top of the funnel. So how
do you help a partner get from a
178
00:14:00.210 --> 00:14:03.570
twenty percent closed rate to an eighty
percent closed rate or anything reasonable? You
179
00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:09.529
have to add sales enablement onto that
as well, and those are traditionally the
180
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.559
weekends for partner. So I just
I think enablement is going to be key
181
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.039
for success in any vertical sorry that
was a long answer, but that's a
182
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.590
it's just a fascinating opportunity, I
think, for for Oem's to help their
183
00:14:26.629 --> 00:14:31.590
partners take share in particular, and
today's world right now that we're living in,
184
00:14:31.669 --> 00:14:35.429
where digital marketing is going to be
so important. Yeah, more important
185
00:14:35.429 --> 00:14:37.580
than ever. You know, Stephen, I love your passion for it and
186
00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:41.580
as you get deeper and deeper there, you know, as we've talked about,
187
00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:46.740
looking at your partner relationships through the
Lens of customer experience, how to
188
00:14:46.779 --> 00:14:50.220
leverage data, how to enable your
partners more than just the text act.
189
00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:52.809
You obviously, as we said from
the top of the episode, have a
190
00:14:52.850 --> 00:14:56.769
lot of experience and, as we've
gotten further into it, just exuded more
191
00:14:56.809 --> 00:15:01.730
and more passion on this topic.
So I really appreciate you unpacking some of
192
00:15:01.769 --> 00:15:05.250
those lessons learned and mindset shifts that
need to take place and folks will be

197
00:15:28.710 --> 00:15:31.509
sign ups for leads to drive new

198
00:15:31.549 --> 00:15:35.940
low quality sign ups were driving up
the cost of product trials. To overcome

00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:41.779
their off target lead generation and rising
costs, they turn to directive. Directive

much for listening. I hate it
when podcast incessantly ask their listeners for reviews,
232
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.839
but I get why they do it, because reviews are enormously helpful when
233
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.880
you're trying to grow a podcast audience. So here's what we decided to do.
234
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.400
If you leave a review for be
to be growth in apple podcasts and
235
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.990
email me a screenshot of the review
to James at Sweet Fish Mediacom, I'll
236
00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:19.549
send you a signed copy of my
new book, content based networking, how

00:18:19.630 --> 00:18:22.789
to instantly connect with anyone you want
to know. We get a review,
