Ep. 523 | How the Jobs-to-Be-Done Framework Uncovers Customer Blind Spots 24:14

منذ 5 أيام24:14

24:14

Episode Summary In this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody is joined by Alison Mendoza to dive into the power of the Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) framework and its transformative impact on innovation, marketing, and product strategy. Alison shares her non-linear journey into R&D, how her background in linguistics shapes her collaboration with engineers, and how JTBD allows companies to avoid blind spots and uncover real customer needs. Listeners will gain insights into how Honeywell uses behavioral science and JTBD to drive meaningful product adoption, why traditional voice-of-customer methods often fall short, and how AI is unlocking strategic work by automating repetitive tasks. From uncovering misaligned innovation strategies to empowering teams through better language and observation, this episode is a masterclass in modern customer-centric thinking. Key takeaways: Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) vs. Hypotheticals: JTBD eliminates guesswork by focusing on observable behaviors, not hypothetical customer desires. Behavioral Science + JTBD = Impact: The fusion of decision-making psychology with JTBD drives better adoption and product-market fit. Innovation Pitfalls: Over-reliance on competitor analysis or legacy processes can limit true innovation. Speak Their Language: Product teams must translate customer outcomes into language engineers can act on. AI for Strategic Work: Honeywell’s $120M in AI-driven savings shows how tech can free time for impactful, strategic work. Quotes: “We don’t really have to worry about product-market fit if we’ve built a product on the Jobs-to-be-Done framework.” “If you use AI for simple tasks, it will give you simple output. Use it for complex challenges—like segmentation or positioning—and you’ll see exponential value.”Best Moments Tech recommendations: ⁠⁠Notebook LM (Google)⁠⁠ : A powerful AI research assistant ideal for strategic marketing and A/B testing.

Key Takeaways Empathy is Foundational: To demystify healthcare benefits, brands must lead with empathy—understanding emotional roadblocks like fear and confusion that often prevent consumers from making informed decisions.

Building Brands for “Unsexy” Industries: The best marketers can make even mundane products relatable. Skills like curiosity, critical thinking, empathy, and strong writing are essential for success.

Ep. 519 | Rethinking Outbound: Why Warmbound Is the Way Forward 33:32

منذ 21 يومًا33:32

33:32

Episode Summary In this episode of OnBase , host Chris Moody chats with Maximus Greenwald about reimagining traditional outbound strategies through a concept he calls "warmbound"—the fusion of outbound execution with inbound energy. Maximus walks us through the broken state of traditional lead scoring, the inefficiencies of outdated TAM/SAM/SOM frameworks, and why marketers should own the pipeline. He breaks down how intent signals, AI, and horizontal marketing teams will reshape the future of GTM. Maximus also shares how he tests big bets as a founder, what marketers can learn from enterprise sellers, and how personalization must evolve in the age of generative AI. Key Takeaways Warmbound, Not Outbound: The strict division between inbound (marketing) and outbound (sales) is outdated. The future is unified, pipeline-first, go-to-market strategies driven by intent. Classic Lead Scoring Is Broken: Rigid filters based on outdated firmographics miss major ICP opportunities. AI can dynamically model what actually drives revenue. Signal Stacking Is the New ICP: Combine CRM, intent data, buyer behavior, and historical signals to build a more accurate, real-time picture of purchase readiness. Marketers Should Own Pipeline: With the right data and tools, marketing can—and should—run outbound motions and be comped like sellers. Horizontal Over Vertical Marketing: Organize teams around the buyer journey stages (cold, warm, hot) instead of just marketing channels. Quotes “Inbound versus outbound is a false dichotomy. Your outbound should drive inbound, and your inbound should fuel outbound. It's all one team now.” “You don’t stay in someone’s TAM forever. SOM is dynamic. A lead heats up, cools down, and reenters. We need systems that move with that fluidity.” Best Moments 03:00–05:00 – From Google Maps to SaaS: Maximus shares how he transitioned into sales and marketing. 06:30–09:00 – What’s broken in lead scoring—and how AI can fix it. 13:00–16:00 – Rethinking TAM, SAM, and SOM as dynamic, not static. 20:00–24:00 – The rise of the horizontally structured marketing org. 28:00–31:00 – Why marketers should carry a quota—and get paid like enterprise reps. Tech Recommendations Autobound – An AI-powered sales copywriting tool that personalizes based on deal-winning language. Default – An Inbound lead routing and scheduling engine. Resource Recommendations Podcast: 30 Minutes to President's Club . Report: The 2025 State of Marketing Report by HubSpot. Shout-outs Kieran Flanagan – SVP of Marketing at HubSpot. Dave Gerhardt – Founder of Exit Five, formerly Drift. Hunter Walk – Partner and Co-Founder at Homebrew. Finn Murphy – General Partner at Nebular VC. About the Guest Maximus Greenwald is the Co-founder and CEO of Warmly, an AI-powered outbound platform that transforms how companies think about lead generation, pipeline development, and the convergence of sales and marketing.

Key takeaways: AI Agents Are Reshaping GTM – AI-driven agents can help 10x productivity, making teams more efficient while removing friction from sales and marketing workflows.

AI SDRs Are Failing Without Context – AI agents that lack proper customer data make embarrassing mistakes, like sending irrelevant emails to buyers who already know the product. Agent Base: AI with Context & Accuracy – Demandbase’s Agent Base ensures that AI-driven sales and marketing actions are informed by accurate, unified data, preventing misalignment between teams. AI Must Be Embedded in the Workflow – AI agents should enhance existing workflows rather than requiring users to switch between multiple tools, ensuring smooth execution. Future of AI in B2B – The next wave of AI will focus on deep research capabilities, personalized recommendations, and predictive actions, eliminating guesswork for GTM teams. Quotes: "The most powerful AI agents aren't just about automation – they’re about solving real customer problems and making revenue teams more effective."

Connect with Judit Szabo Key Takeaways - Holistic Thinking Drives ABX Success – Account-based management isn’t just a marketing function; sales and marketing must work together to grow and penetrate accounts. - Patience Is Essential – ABX is a long-term strategy, not a quick fix. Expect an 18+ month cycle for results, and celebrate small wins along the way. - Data is the Foundation – Strong account intelligence is key to avoiding misalignment and wasted efforts. The right tools and governance ensure that teams are acting on reliable data. - Aligning Sales & Marketing Requires Process, Not Just Intent – Establish shared KPIs, define roles, and create a feedback loop to ensure alignment throughout the account lifecycle. - One-to-One ABX is the Goal, But Requires Strong Foundations – Organizations should first build a solid demand generation engine before scaling to hyper-personalized, one-to-one outreach. - AI Can Help, But It’s Not a Silver Bullet – While AI can assist with personalization, content generation, and automation, it can’t replace the strategic thinking needed to execute ABX effectively.

Identify KPIs that track progress toward those goals. Determine how sales contributes to those metrics and what data is required. Measure progress and drive accountability. - AI is Enhancing Sales Processes: From summarizing meeting notes to tracking customer engagement and automating administrative tasks like expense reporting, AI is freeing up valuable time for sales teams. - Bridging Sales and Marketing with Data: Cummins uses a structured business planning process to ensure sales forecasts align with market trends, breaking silos between sales, marketing, and engineering teams.
