After 17 years at hyper-growth companies, I have decided to quit... . . . . Quit seeing salespeople struggle with giving generic product demos and make no sale! 💵 💵 💵 So TODAY I open my playbook of selling! 📖 📖  📖   I had an amazing opportunity to chat with Krista Glantschnig on her Rebel Sell Podcast! In this podcast for the first time, I have flipped open my playbook of 17 years. We discussed: 1️⃣ Why 80% product demos get 0 sale! 2️⃣ How AI can transform generic demos to personalized demos and wow your buyers! 3️⃣ How does Pepsales enable you to give personalised demos from the first call with prospect! If any of these seem relatable, dive into 30 minutes of insightful conversation and let me know if it helps:) Link to podcast: https://lnkd.in/gbiHTAsz

Startup 0 to Hero: Day 3 - Crafting a Compelling Value Proposition for Your Canada Startup Visa Journey 🚀 Hello Founders! Welcome to Day 3 of our 30-day journey from Startup 0 to Hero! We've discussed the importance of surveys and market research. Today, let's focus on crafting a compelling value proposition that resonates with your target audience, especially if you're part of the Canada Startup Visa program. Why a Strong Value Proposition? A well-crafted value proposition clearly explains how your product solves a problem, the specific benefits it delivers, and why it’s better than the competition. It's crucial for attracting investors, customers, and partners. Steps to Create a Compelling Value Proposition: 1. Identify Your Target Customer: Who are they? Define your ideal customer persona. What do they need? Understand their primary pain points and desires. 2. Define the Problem: Specific Challenges: Clearly articulate the problems your target customers face. Emotional and Functional Needs: Address both the practical and emotional aspects of their challenges. 3. Highlight Your Solution: Key Features: Outline the main features of your product. Unique Benefits: Explain the unique benefits and how they address the identified problems. 4. Differentiate from Competitors: Unique Selling Points (USPs): Identify what makes your product different and better than the competition. Competitive Edge: Highlight your advantages, whether it's technology, price, user experience, or other factors. 5. Craft a Clear Message: Concise and Clear: Keep your value proposition short and easy to understand. Focus on Benefits: Emphasize the benefits over features. Pro Tip: Test your value proposition with real customers and iterate based on their feedback. For more tips and insights on thriving in the Canada Startup Visa program, reach out to me directly.

It was an amazing conversation at the Lightspeed Venture Partners office yesterday with Dev Khare and Ajeet Singh from ThoughtSpot on what it takes to think big and disrupt markets dominated by giants. Bottom line: no market is locked down forever. Innovation always finds a way in. You don’t need to outsize the competition—you just need to outthink them. Opportunities are everywhere if you’re willing to look past the noise and focus on building something that truly changes the game. #SaaS #Innovation #Disruption #BigThinking
