Upcoming Event

Sales Engagement Summit

Although a term on everyone’s lips, unfortunately ‘sales engagement’ is not always totally understood. The growing importance of understanding the buyer and their journey is crucial though, as engagement insights are increasingly proven to improve the sales process, the human experience and, ultimately, profitability.

In-Person Conference
The Brewery, London
Wednesday 6th December 2023

Top sales Professionals are firmly focussed on enablement

A recent Forrester survey found that over 80% of sales leaders have already made several changes to their process due to changing buyer expectations. Also revealed was that 57% of buyers have switched to a competitor due to an underwhelming experience. The sales technology stack helps unify the sales and marketing departments, enabling tracking and analytics into buyer behaviour.

According to Gartner, 90% of sales leaders plan to invest in technologies to help their teams engage more effectively with prospects and customers.

Lisa Vecchio

Aircall Vice President, Marketing

Hello! I'm Lisa, an experienced global leader in B2B marketing. I’m also a CIM Chartered Marketer & Ritson Mini MBA alum too! A marketer by design, I believe that B2B marketing doesn't have to be boring 😵‍💫 - it should be human first (aka B2P business-to-person).

My proudest achievement is being one of 30 marketers to take part in The Marketing Academy UK’s 2022 Scholarship - a highly selective program for the best emerging leaders in the Marketing, Advertising, Communication and Media industries.

I get energy from strengthening marketing teams whilst shaping our role as a revenue driver & leading a GTM in partnership with sales, customer success & product teams. What gets me really excited though - is to tell stories across the whole funnel to contribute to both brand awareness and revenue growth [I don’t do fluff] - all while empowering and leading a team to help us get there.

I hold EU, USA and Australian passports, but my global marketing experience in these regions is no accident [hence the strange hybrid accent]. When I'm not working, I'm likely attending the latest foodie pop-up events or writing my travel blog www.thesetwoeyes.com. I also mentor displaced refugees in finding remote work through the Open Door Policy.

From career transitions into different orgs across the world of SaaS & scale ups and relocating from New York to Melbourne and to London, here are a few podcasts with my two cents on what you need to consider as you grow as an international b2b marketer and important questions to ask along the way.

09:10-09:35 Microsoft Keynote: Transforming Sales Habits, Lessons Learnt

At Microsoft, B2B Sellers interact with hundreds of software buyers each year. Customers’ expectations are increasingly high, and it is not always easy to assess their needs, especially as the number of decision makers and buyer influencers increases.

To help our sellers best use their time and efforts, we need to enable them to embrace new ways of selling. We need to help them change the ways that served them well in the past, and adapt to new habits that, for example, leverage marketing engines to identify future opportunities.

Changing work habits requires more than asking people to attend long training sessions. It requires proper change management strategies that will generate a true desire to change.

In this session, we will review our lessons learnt in the journey of transforming the habits of our sales organization.

Never fail? That’s what I was always told when I started in sales. Hit every target. Deliver every project. Be on 110% of the time.

But as I leader if we never fail or encourage our team to fail (or worse still make them afraid to fail) then how do we learn? How do we build resilience to enable us to be successful through both the good times and the harder times?

12:00-12:20 Customer Acquisition vs. Customer Expansion: Break Free from a One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Nearly 60 percent of companies believe they can use a one-size-fits-all approach for every marketing and sales conversation. Instead of tailoring their approach to their buyer’s situation, they try to apply the same messages to win new customers as they do to keep and grow existing customers.

But behavioural research shows a 180-degree difference between what motivates new prospects, versus existing customers, to buy.

In fact, using a one-size-fits-all approach can put most of your revenue and growth opportunity at risk!

In this session, you’ll learn new, science-backed messaging strategies to skillfully differentiate your acquisition and expansion approaches.

You’ll learn how to:

• Disrupt your prospects’ status quo to win new business.
• Defend and grow your relationships with existing customers
• Use science-backed messages and skills to influence and guide your prospects' and customers' buying decisions.
