As layoffs continue to roll out in 2024, it's important to stay encouraged. If you're feeling discouraged after being laid off, know that you're not alone. Check out this video for some uplifting words. Remember, everything happens for a reason, and this could be a chance to explore new opportunities. Shift your thinking from the negative aspects and see this as a second chance. Expand your network and explore your options - you never know what or who you'll come across! #Layoffs #Networking #NewOpportunities

We all love playbooks, right? Especially those that are tested and successful. I am very fond of those that are human-focused. One of the plays our RevOps team uses is known as the "Product Revenue Play." Here's how it works: If a customer is under-utilized, work with them and adjust the contract to meet them where they’re at. Adjusting the contract not only protects your revenue for the future, it also helps you become a trusted advisor. You are there for them. If your customer has layoffs, call them and ask how they’re doing. Be their partner, not a check-taker. Show your customers how you are protecting your revenue and share your advice. Yes, you can automate how you do these things, using usage triggers to create activities or opportunities, and notifying teams in Slack. But the end product is human interaction, not just contract value. Our RevOps team put together more of these playbooks together to help you create even more value to you, your team, and your customer. #RevOps #MarketingOps #SalesOps #CustomerFirst

Had the opportunity to meet David Bland, co-author of Testing Business Ideas yesterday at the GFX23 conference hosted by Growth Factory. David facilitated a live workshop during the event which was timely as I'm roughly 30 days away from launching a unique digital community for job seekers in tech that have been impacted by layoffs. During the workshop, David shared the importance of testing ideas and how working through 𝒘𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 statements can go a long way. Examples of 𝒘𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 statements include: - We believe _____ is important to _____ - We believe this action can lead to _____ - We believe we can generate revenue by ____ - We believe risks can be mitigated by _____ The unique factor for the community I'm working on makes testing and challenging assumptions (my own, we believe statements) relevant as what I think might work, may not, or might need iterating. I left the workshop with significant takeaways, including a copy of the book that I plan to study as I continue building the community. Thanks for the workshop, David! It was great chatting with you in person! Image description: GFX23 is displayed on the top left-hand side of the image. GFX23 is the name of the event. An image of David facilitating the workshop is shown along with an image of David and Alyne taking a selfie within the event area. Both images are lined with a border.
