What’s the secret to boosting your revenue through AI? Tune in as we dive into this fascinating topic with our guest for the day, Glenn Schmelzle, who carries with him a refreshing wave of optimism. In this intellectually stimulating conversation, Glenn and I navigate through the myriad avenues in which cutting-edge generative AI technologies, demonstrated in ChatGPT, could be harnessed to supercharge your sales and marketing game. Don’t miss this chance to catch a glimpse of how AI can be your ally in revenue growth.Glenn Schmelzle (pronounced Sh-Melt-Slee) is a multifaceted individual – a marketing maven, devoted husband, enthusiastic hockey dad, and an ardent supporter of local communities. He was a pioneer in recognizing the immense potential of the internet for marketing, and efficiently harnessed it to generate a plethora of leads for his employers. Observing other businesses flounder in lead generation deeply concerned him, and this impelled Glenn to begin sharing his strategies through blogging in 2009. His unwavering conviction in reinvigorating the marketing funnel led him to establish Marketing What’s New agency in 2013, and launch forward-thinking initiatives such as GAFast4ward workshops. Not one to be limited by mediums, Glenn soon began voicing his insights and perspectives under the moniker Funnel Reboot - initially through a Twitter account and subsequently broadening the scope through a podcast. This platform fosters an inclusive dialogue, inviting marketers from all corners to participate and engage.If you’re leading a sales team and aiming to skyrocket performance, it's time you acquaint yourself with Selling From the Heart.

If you want to grow your revenue you need to grow your network. Our guest today, Drew Sechrist, was one of the first employees at Salesforce. Now, he’s co-founder of Connect the Dots. The ideas he brings to us today will be powerful. A cold email to Marc Benioff in 1999 landed Drew an account executive job at Salesforce, where he was employee number 36. Drew became the company’s highest-producing seller, then the highest-producing sales manager as Salesforce scaled from zero to more than a billion dollars in revenue. As a young seller, leaders like Marc Benioff, Jim Steele, and Susan St. Ledger transformed Drew’s career by opening their networks and making warm introductions on Drew’s behalf. With that vision in mind, Drew co-founded Connect The Dots, to make that experience possible for anyone. If you have a sales team and you want to boost results, you need to get to know Selling From the Heart. What’s great about Selling From the Heart is how it takes a different approach to driving sales. The goal is to build trust quickly with clients and prospects through authenticity. The result is more effective prospecting, higher close rates, and more referrals. Best of all, the Selling From the Heart methodology works with your existing sales model.
