ABM Done Right - A Personal ABM PodcastTyler Pleiss on How Movable Ink Is Moving Away From the ABM Pyramid and Toward an Account-Based GTMSend us a textLast time on the ABM Done Right Podcast, when he was at Clari, Tyler Pleiss shared why he was taking a 1:1 ABM approach to penetrate 3 markets that were years behind when it came to RevOps. Now, Tyler is at Movable Ink and is shifting the perspective on ABM and the triangle. Listen to the podcast to see how the ABM triangle is no longer relevant.
2024-10-3038 minABM Done Right - A Personal ABM PodcastWhy Clari Uses 1:1 ABM to Penetrate 3 New Market SegmentsSend us a textTyler Pleiss (Senior ABM Manager at Clari) managed and executed ABM at 3 different organizations including Terminus and he learned that in most cases, you should not start engaging in ABM with a 1: many or 1:few approach. This often leads to ABM becoming nothing more than targeted demand gen -- as teams are not changing sales/marketing motions, interactions and experiences. When you take a 1:few or 1:many ABM approach, you focus on volume and pipeline vs. getting strategic accounts to revenue, which means you are not orchestrating ABM across sales/marketing/account teams...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 140: Hot Stove and Cold BeersThe Hot Stove League is heating up. The Twins are connected to big names like Troy Tulowitzki and Jonathan Lucroy, but the Twins would need to give up a lot of your favorite prospects to land a player of that caliber. The Twins offense has struggled, but Joe Mauer has been red hot and Trevor Plouffe launched a 3-run dinger to help the Twins take a game in LA.
After the regular Twins news, we go beer and all the news from around the league.
Enjoy the show!

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast139: The All-Star EditionThis week's podcast features not a lot of new Twins news on account of major league baseball's All-Star break. An all-star break that saw Brian Dozier get added to the AL squad, hit a home run in his only at bat and Glen Perkins finish the game for the 2nd time in as many years. Paul and Cody discuss the current state of affairs in Minnesota, the merits of the AL's 2nd best team, and what, if any, upgrades the Twins should pursue down the stretch.
We had to deal with some audio difficulties this week as we break...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 138: Ervin Santana Returns and Twins Make A Billion Roster MovesThis week we have a full team of Talk to Contacters and we drive deep into the Twins roster moves from the past week. Aaron Hicks is back, Ervin Santana is PED free, Eric Fryer is playing catcher, and something called Ryan O'Rourke is a loogy. New players! Then we chat about trade targets or moves the Twins could make (spending way too long talking about Tulo), and we do the usual players of the week and around the league. Oh, and Paul is extra arrogant about his beer this week. Of course he is, what a west coast...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 134: Best Draft Ever Makes Up For Awful Play (Maybe)The Twins are just 3-7 since the calendar turned to June, and Eric and Paul are a little cranky they don't have better baseball to talk about. With all of the losing, some of the Twins' warts are starting to show, and the Twins made a flurry of roster moves involving Eddie Rosario, Jorge Polanco, Kennys Vargas, Danny Santana, Tim Stauffer and Michael Tonkin.
Plus we're joined this week by Jeremy Nygaard from TwinsDaily.com and the kinda maybe sorta defunct Hangout and Talk Twins (Twins Hangout) podcast to review all things draft, including Tyler Jay (6th overall), Kyle...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 133 - Winning and Roster ContstructionRicky Nolasco might be headed to the DL, Tommy Milone is coming up to make a start, Oswaldo Arcia was activated from the DL and then optioned to AAA. The Twins are winning baseball games despite having the students from the local clown college filling in at DH while Kennys Vargas, Josmil Pinto, and now Oswaldo Arcia toil away in Rochester. We discuss all of that, plus take a look at the recent performances of Aaron Hicks and Eddie Rosario as they look to secure spots on the Twins roster for the rest of the year.
And of course...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 132: First Place BluesThis week we have a full team of Talk to Contact hosts (eventually) and we find things to complain about, even though the Twins are in first place. From Danny Santana's struggles to what to do about seven pitchers fighting for five spots, we find a way to be negative. But we also spend time being happy about Brian Dozier, Trevor Pouffe, all the great pitching, and a guy named Chih-wei Hu down in the Minor Leagues.

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastIt Feels Good To Win: Episode 131It’s just a whole lot more fun to watch a team that’s winning baseball games. This may not be a sustainable pace for this ball club, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to watch. This ball club is playing great, highlighted by Glen Perkins and (gasp) Blaine Boyer at the back of the bullpen coupled with quality starts from the starters and very timely hitting from the offense.
This week’s show is all about feeling good. E Rolf is away on his honeymoon after his wedding last week (congrats!), but Cody, Jay and Paul put...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 130: Eddie Rosario is King of the ProspectsJust Cody and ERolf on the pod this week as Paul and Jay are both out sick. This week we're talking Eddie Rosario and his MLB debut, the Twins actually winning a bunch of baseball games, what to make of Kyle Gibson's success despite his lake of strike outs and all those walks (Kevin Correia 2.0?!), and what's a "more worstest waste" of a 40-man roster spot, Doug Bernier or Eduardo Nunez.
Down on the Pond we talk about 2014 1st rounder Nick Gordon, make bets on how many home runs he'll hit in 2015, and talk about the pl...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast129: Everyone on the DLThis week's show features long laments about the inability of the Twins defense to play anything resembling defense. Costing the Twins somewhere in the neighborhood of one run a game, the bad defense, combined with pitchers who don't miss bats and hitters who can't get on base is a recipe for disaster. Welcome to your 2015 Minnesota Twins. Hey, at least Joe Mauer has a hockey playoff beard.

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEp 126: A Dumpster FireThe Twins have not been impressive. The offense has been anemic. The pitching has been atrocious. The defense has been porous. It's been bad, bad, bad. And yet, there have still been some bright spots... well one. J.R. Graham has looked good. This week's show contains a healthy amount of doom and gloom, but it's not all bad news bears. Yes Ervina Santana has been suspended. Yes the Twins have been outscored 24-1. But it's only three games in. The Twins can still win 159 games and go on to post season glory.
In addition to lamenting the cold...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastPredicting the future. And Cats. Detroit Cats. Tigers.The Talk to Contact crew takes a crack at predicting the results of the 2015 season. There are a couple of bold pics. And I'm not talking bold like the Indians will win the central, I'm talking BOLD.
We discuss the recent roster moves by the Twins, and discuss the roster that will head north with the Twins when they leave Fort Myers and head north to take on the Detroit Tigers next week.
Speaking of the Tigers, we spend the end of the podcast wrapping up our reviewing the rivals series and talk with Bryan Craves (@displacedtgrfan, http://displacedtgrfan...

As always, we wrap up the show with beer, baseball and the news.

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastCan Eddie Rosario handle CF? And the Indians PreviewThis week’s Talk to Contact podcast is filled with rampant speculation. Can Eddie Rosario win the CF job this spring? How long will uber prospects Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton spend in AA? Can either Alex Meyer or Trevor May do anything to make the opening day roster? Can Danny Santana be a legitimate leadoff hitter and avoid the “sophomore slump”? All these questions answered and more.
We finish the podcast with a special guest, Jason Lukeheart (@JasonLukeheart), the managing editor of Let’s Go Tribe (http://www.letsgotribe.com/) to find out what’s been going on in Clevela...

Tom joins us to talk about the whirlwind offseason that took place on the South Side of Chicago and walks us through all the changes to the White Sox roster and what we can expect from them in 2015. Before getting to the White Sox, however, Eric, Paul and Jay discuss the happenings and goings on down in Fort Myers at Twins camp. Should Eduardo Escobar be the starting short-stop? Can Josmil Pinto stick at the MLB level? What does the future hold fo...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 120: Better Call PaulPaul is a cranky pants this week, I think he hates Spring Training. We dive into that assumption and figure out what the heck the Twins are doing for the next couple weeks. We're joined this week by Jeremy Nygaard from TwinsDaily.com to talk more about prospects, pitching, and even a little fantasy baseball. Then, as always, beer, baseball, and the news.
Thanks for listening!

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 119 - The Do-Over EpisodeJay and Eric take you on a long over due road trip around the last three weeks of Twins news, which includes a bunch of smart baseball folks thinking the Twins will lose 90 games again, a pretty miserable collection of teams in the American League Central, and what Spring Training is really all about.
Reviewing the roster this week we dive deeper on Glen Perkins, Eddie Rosario, and Phil Hughes. And then, beer, baseball and the news.
Enjoy the show.

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 117 - TwinsFest PreviewThis week the guys talk about TwinsFest, the TwinsDaily.com Winter Meltdown, what it means that Trevor Plouffe is the highest paid third basemen in franchise history, and about one Twins minor league pitcher subtweeting another.

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastWe're world famous, and other lies. Episode 116This week on the show our friend from North Dakota, Cody, is taking the week off to focus on the youth of the greater Fargo area. What a noble man he is. The rest of us forge ahead without him to discuss the news that needs discussing.
E. Rolf openly laments everything and anything that the Twins can, have, or will do to make 2015 a success, all the while remaining overly optomisitc that this week's Down on the Pond player, Tyler Grimes, will one day see time with the big league ball club. Hope springs eternal!

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastNo Rolf, No Problem: 2015 New Years ResolutionsAfter a week off celebrating 2014 and welcoming in 2015, the podcast crew was back together (minus a Rolf) to begin a new year of Talk to Contact radio gold. This week we make some New Year's resolutions on behalf of the Twins, to include Joe Mauer, Aaron Hicks and prayers for something (ANYTHING!) resembling a starting pitcher not named Phil Hughes.
In this week's reviewing the roster segment, we take a look at the 2014 contributions of Caleb Thielbar, Ricky Nolasco and Oswaldo Arcia. We prognosticate on what 2015 will bring for the three and whether they will be a big part...

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast114: Hang out and Talk to ContactPhil Hughes renegotiated a contract adding three more years to his deal and keeping him in Minnesota through 2019. This was such a momentous occasion that we asked the Twins Hangouts fellas, Seth Stohs and Jeremy Nygaard, to join us.
I'll warn you up front that E Rolf had his potty mouth out again, and that the beer was flowing on the podcast, so if you have children, or sensitive grandparents in the room, you may want to go elsewhere to listen.
We talk about Phil's new contract, and try to figure out exactly what the Twins acquisition of Tim...
