Love this video with my old colleague James Simmons. Having delivered the Precision Selling programme for over a decade, 2 things stand out:- 1) I ALWAYS learn something new from the participants, everytime. 2) How many people are still placed into sales roles with no training. No-one would do that for a doctor, pilot or police but for people driving what should be the biggest number on your P&L, developing relationships with your customers.....give your people the skills they need to succeed.

🚀 **What an amazing experience!** 🍅 Just wrapped up a hands-on workshop on a crucial part of the OTC process at the Kraft Heinz offices in Glenview - Illinois where we dove deep into the process steps with peers, subject matter experts, continuous improvement specialists and IT—all in the same room. 🙌 It was a unique opportunity to break down silos, explore solutions from different angles, and collaborate with people who share the same passion for innovation, automation and progress. 💡✨ When you have tech suppliers alongside industry experts and colleagues, the energy in the room is *electric*! ⚡ The most powerful takeaway? **Collaboration is key** When diverse minds come together, the outcome is always greater than the sum of its parts. 🤝💼🔧 Big shoutout to Tom Barnett and everyone involved for their contributions and insights! Looking forward to seeing how these partnerships evolve. 🌱 Chadd R.

This week a senior CMO left one of the leading companies in the world after 17 years. I am talking about Todd Kaplan. He left “PepsiCo” this week after 17 years. It was mainly he who put this company on the top. And this wasn’t a small task. There was a great challenge to PepsiCo in the form of its competitor companies. But still Todd managed to put PepsiCo above all of them. Here’s how he used the ‘Challenger Brand’ mindset to make this possible: You must have heard of the famous Greek phrase ‘Know thyself’. That’s what the “Challenger brand” mindset is. It comes down to truly knowing → Who you are → Where your brand stands → ⁠What it believes in and → ⁠How your brand shows up within your internal organization’s culture Those are the core things you have to understand. Once you understand this, knowing and competing against your competitors becomes easier. And that’s how PepsiCo then competed against other companies. And not just competed but led them as well. P.S: Are you focusing on “Challenger Brand” ?
