Chris Walker Returns - Demand and Revenue Generation - 245

Apr 13, 2021

In this episode, Mike talks with Chris Walker about marketing, sales, and revenue operations. Chris is the Founder and CEO of Refine Labs.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s the mindset of the executives at the highest level that drive everything down. 
  • The first tree to plant is a ridiculously intimate understanding of your customers.
  • It’s often marketing on the hook for continued growth.
  • Figure out your logical benchmark conversion rate that you should be aiming for. Is there a gap?
  • Focus long-term on brand, not sales.
  • The failure of marketing comes in 2 buckets:
    • The CMO doesn’t know what they are doing
    • The metrics created force the CMO to operate in a certain way.
  • Strategy:
    • Capture existing demand. Do they find you when they are looking?
    • Create new demand. Do this in a targeted way that drives product consideration and product awareness.
    • Focus on organic brand marketing.
  • People don’t set-up the environment to tell you the truth. Go into it objectively.
  • Center everything around customer intimacy.
