I worked with @avilava at SinglePlatform back in 2013 when the game was about pounding the phones 200 dials a day. In this episode we learn how she thinks B2B outbound sales has evolved and how she's defied the odds of the 18 year average tenure on her 11 year journey from AE to Head of Sales at Justworks.

Why limit yourself to one #AI model when you can access them all from a #singleplatform? 🤔 With Cere #LLM, eliminate the need to hop between different AI platforms. Smarter #productivity begins with smarter tools 🦾

I asked Alex Smith what's actually working for B2B Outbound? Alex and I worked together early in our sales careers at SinglePlatform. Since then she's grown to lead BDR/SDR teams for major brands including Headspace and she's now Director of Sales at TestGorilla. Full conversation: youtu.be/5mEN3Suwy6Q?si=H7v3…

Did this live in front of an audience but with a BD deal - was opposing sides, but not quite competitive - unpacked and shared all with a moderator. Was me, @kennyherman and @chrisfralic We dissected the deal we did bringing Singleplatform data into Foursquare and was fun

SinglePlatform is back at it—scraping your services hijacking your Google Business Profile via Tripadvisor. No consent. No opt-out. No shame. Google still trusts this mess? Here’s how to report it and get it removed onlineownership.com/remove-s…

He gave me the chance of a lifetime recruiting me out of my retail job at CVS and teaching me how to prospect and sell back in 2012 at SinglePlatform. Then he taught me how to hire, train, and lead 100 entry-level salespeople. @AdamLiebman led sales from it's infancy to a $100 Million acquisition in his early 20's. He founded a social app called Squad (Tinder for friend groups). Now he's back to leading inside sales and HE'S HIRING! This catch-up was long overdue and a refreshing blast from my past. You can learn a wealth of sales knowledge by listening to his journey and sales philosophy. If you're an SDR or early AE looking for a better role... listen through to the end for your next opportunity. Full conversation: youtu.be/2_cX-0cmSmw?si=IKeC…

Kevin the legend

I'm beyond excited to announce Kevin Lindberg joined the @ProximaAI team as our Head of Partnerships 🔥 Kevin brings outstanding experience, having spent the last 10 years leading partnerships at @SinglePlatform and @Yotpo. He was a killer at Yotpo who'd been there since the early days. For a company slated to IPO soon, he had a comfortable situation. So I knew getting him wouldn't be easy. How did we snag him? Well, I did have to treat him to a few nice lunches in NYC. Which I was happy to do. But here's how it all happened... I was chatting with other eCom SaaS operators and got connected with a DTC exec. We were casually sharing pain points and I told him I was having trouble finding a Head of Partnerships. (With 40% of the average eCom tech providers' revenue coming through partnerships, this was a critical role). It turns out that exec previously worked with Kevin. He said he had the perfect person for us. This brings us to the nice lunches. My sales leader spearheaded the whole process. He flew out to NYC to have multiple conversations with Kevin. And Kevin was very thorough in his evaluation, too. He did reference checks with our customers and other agencies we work with—he interviewed us. When you're hiring at the top tier of leaders, that's exactly what you want to see. Kevin has run the gamut of sales: customer success, outbound, ABM, enterprise, partnerships....he's a Swiss army knife. He's been here less than 90 days and is already making a major impact. I can't wait to see what he accomplishes here. Couldn't be more thrilled to have you on the team, Kevin 🚀

You're being ridiculous. Rebirth released on February 29th. It's less than two months. If 2.5 or 3 million copies, this is still pretty good on a singleplatform. DD2 sold as Multi-platform release 2.5m... FF7R wouldn't have been possible without Sony's financial backing.

singleplatform fans probably

1.- You can't compare Persona with FF. 2.- Persona has meet and probably exceed the expectations. 3.- Multiplatform expectations should be higher than singleplatform expectations. 4.- Did those FFs meet their expectations? 5.- Were those good FFs? Because Persona is 9/10.
