![]() ![]() And marketing, of course, is going to be the storytelling center of excellence that you’re going to tell the story. If you go back and rewind any of the companies that have been great at this, Salesforce-Benioff, Apple-Steve Jobs, Amazon-Bezos, Tesla-Elon Musk, right? All those CEOs do care that much about storytelling.Īndy: Yeah. First thing I would say is, you’re so lucky because you have this CEO, who, I think David Cancel sees the story as his job, you know?ĭave: Totally agree, which is fun to think about. Yeah, well, first of all, you said it’s a marketing thing. But I like yours a little bit better, and I want to go through the steps.Īndy: Cool. And it’s five steps, it’s like, tell a story, pose a problem, blah, blah, blah, and that’s been super helpful. I don’t think you can framework everything, but as far as like telling a story, so, for example, I stole one from Steve Jobs that I use for all of our decks and landing pages. You told me you do remember them, so that’s good.ĭave: I want to talk through them and just give people … this is for our marketing show, and I’m obsessed with having frameworks. So, if you read the Zuora stuff, if you read the one you wrote about Drift, and you read any of your other stuff, there’s like maybe four or five key ingredients. What I want to talk about though is, you told me that you will be nice enough to share the thing that you usually only share with CEOs, CMOs, which is … you have a recipe for telling these stories, which, I think if you’re a marketer watching this, you’d be crazy to not literally print out Andy’s framework. ![]() So, anyway, I don’t want to talk about us. We were this year.Īndy: I can go retroactively back to ever, and then … yeah.ĭave: Okay. So, yeah, that was The Greatest Sales Pitch I’ve Seen This Year, I think it was.ĭave: Okay. It was like the-Īndy: Oh, yeah, that was about Drift. And then the following year, you did another one. That one kind really kickstarted my consulting business, but yes, there’s one that’s gotten around two million views now, it’s around the world, so-Īndy: Yeah, companies around the world, I’ve been totally privileged to work with them on how a leadership team tells a story.ĭave: Yeah. It was about his keynote for the Powerwall where I first kind of started talking about this, structuring the pitch, and starting to talk about doing it almost like a movie, the similarities there. There was a post I did about a year before that, that was about Elon Musk, it was called Want a Better Pitch? Watch This. And I think I first started to hear of you when you did this, The Greatest Sales Deck Ever.ĭave: Did you notice an inflection point in people asking you for stuff after that?Īndy: Yeah. ![]() So, I thought of, like what could we talk to Andy about? And I think you have this superpower, which is the ability to get companies to tell a story that doesn’t sound like corporate jargon BS, what most B to B companies sound like. We have not gotten kicked out.ĭave: Despite us being outside, we have not gotten kicked out of this place. So, we have the great honor of hanging out with you at SaaStr. Tune in.ĭave: You’re one of my favorite people, which I tell you a lot-Īndy: … which I tell you a lot, don’t let it go to your head.ĭave: Okay.
