The Futurist Marketers pod is back! Our guest for EP12 is Maxim Tanevskiy - he is currently the Chief Business Officer at Ex-human and is a GTM/Sales Expert. I’m personally excited for you lovely people to watch it, especially knowing that sales is a must-have skill (always has been!).

Topics we talk about include:

- Turning your sales approach into a revenue system (especially in the B2B SaaS context) - The differences and nuances between a salesperson and a business development representative (and why the other may be valuable) - How Maxim learning Mandarin (Chinese), helped him close a 7-figure deal (and how to approach working with clients from different cultures) - His predictions in the world of sales + AI BDRs/SDRs (including the potentiality of AI committees) - Finding out your GTM efficiency, growth rate and how to engineer a GTM sales process - Everything from social selling to empathetic conversational AI and more.

As always, enjoy the show and share the session with your friends/network (they’ll find this show valuable, I promise).
