Interview with Avinash Kaushik, digital marketing evangelist for Google

http://predictiveroilive.com/blog/avinash-kaushik/ Stephen Woessner, CEO of Predictive ROI interviews Avinash Kaushik, digital marketing evangelist for Google and co-founder of Market Motive.

During this insightful and entertaining video interview from Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, Avinash shares the practical and tactical steps any business owner can apply immediately to increase return on investment while developing deeper relationships with customers.

Stephen asked Avinash why business owners should care about their company’s digital marketing versus delegating the responsibility and leadership to their marketing team or a vendor. Avinash told Stephen, “It’s because if you care about it — and you understand it — then you will be rich. But if you just dump it on someone else’s lap, then you will be poor. That should be incentive enough.”

Educating Young Entrepreneurs – TED Talk by Cameron Herold – SEO PRO, NYC – Business Tips

In this 2010 TED Talk by Cameron Herold, Cameron presents the idea that we should be encouraging entrepreneurship in the educational system and at home as opposed to the philosophy of “getting a good job”. An idea that I personally have believed for a long time. Entrepreneurs are what pushes us forward, a population that seems to be dwindling. – Lucas

Matt Epstein, Zenefits VP Marketing, on how he led the SaaS powerhouse to monumental growth in 3yrs

LAUNCH Incubator 2: After figuring out your product-market fit, there is nothing else your startup should be doing other than making sure you are getting that hockey stick growth. Matt Epstein, VP Marketing at Zenefits, dropped by the LAUNCH Incubator to tell us exactly how it’s done. Matt was the first employee hired at Zenefits and has been leading the charge on their monumental growth over the last 3 years (from 3 to 1,200 employees and {videoDescription} to million in annual recurring revenue!). Matt opens up the “Zenefits playbook” for how they achieved this massive growth, which consists of: finding product / market fit, scaling with machines, scaling with people, and then doing everything else you can to get growth. Matt teaches why finding your “secret sauce” is so important because it gives you data on what the best way to sell your product is, how to scale with machines in search of repeatable SaaS metrics, what to look for in scaling with people (and what types of people you need to hire right away), what three essential questions you need to ask when hiring your first VP Marketing, VP Marketing Operations, and Sales Development Reps, what the five biggest screw ups they had at Zenefits were and how you can avoid them (i.e. 10x your goals!). Don’t miss this!
