Generating Better Pipeline With New Innovative Approaches to Demand Gen with Ollie Whitfield #034

The Sales Consultant Podcast

Ollie Whitfield Leads Demand Gen at VanillaSoft where he’s been for nearly 3-years and crushing it every quarter. In addition to his work with VanillaSoft he also Co-hosts The 0 to 5 Million Podcast.

I’ve been a fan of Ollie’s content for years and had to bring him on to talk to us about what really works in 2023 in terms of Demand Generation and Growth Marketing.

In this episode we cover a whole host of topics impacting demand gen, including digital marketing, AI, better ways to run and promote webinars, and how to use email frameworks instead of email templates.

This is one of those tactical discussions that you will be able to walk away with actionable insights that you can put into use immediately.

NOTE: I want to apologize in advance for my poor audio. I made a rookie mistake and recorded with my laptop mic, not the proper microphone so I’m going to sound a little echoey.
