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...2022-05-1737 min

Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 140: Hot Stove and Cold Beers<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10773831.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />The 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...2015-07-241h 17Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast139: The All-Star Edition<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10759228.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This 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...2015-07-171h 26Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 138: Ervin Santana Returns and Twins Make A Billion Roster Moves<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10743048.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This 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...2015-07-101h 16Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 137: Miguel Sano's MLB Debut<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10727662.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Miguel Sano makes his MLB debut and Cody and Eric lose their minds. The Twins are struggling lately, but these dudes cannot stop talking about the possibility of postseason baseball. The young kids (Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton, Alex Meyer, Miguel Sano) are all here, and there is help on the way (Jose Berrios, Jorge Polanco, Kohl Stewart, Lewis Thorpe) and the Twins are winning!
Plus, you know, beer, baseball and the news. Thanks for hanging out!2015-07-031h 27Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 136: Alex Meyer Gets the Call!<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10712300.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This week on Talk to Contact Eric and Cody dive into the good, bad, and ugly from the past week of Minnesota Twins baseball. Alex Meyer's call-up is announced and they discuss his role on the 2015 team, and beyond. They look back on the recent success of Joe Mauer (two home runs last week), Phil Hughes, and Kennys Vargas. Plus, what the heck is the deal with Byron Buxton, and what will the Twins do when...2015-06-261h 14Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 135: Byron Buxton Debuts and Joe Mauer Rides Off Into the Future<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10696174.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This week on T2C, we're talking all about the good things the Twins did in the past week, despite their mediocre results. Byron Buxton debuts, Joe Mauer is falling to pieces, but still hitting homers, and what to do with some of the young struggling pieces (Kennys Vargas and company). Plus, the good news about Eddie Rosario, and the fun of a Rosario, Aaron Hicks, and Byron Buxton outfield.
Plus talk of Brian Dozier being...2015-06-191h 33Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 134: Best Draft Ever Makes Up For Awful Play (Maybe)<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-597x597+2+37_10678992.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />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...2015-06-121h 20Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 133 - Winning and Roster Contstruction<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10658700.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Ricky 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...2015-06-041h 25Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 132: First Place Blues<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-0x0+0+0_10643104.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This 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...2015-05-291h 27Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastIt Feels Good To Win: Episode 131<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10624421.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />It’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...2015-05-221h 27Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 130: Eddie Rosario is King of the Prospects<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10586349.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br /><p>Just 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...2015-05-081h 33Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast129: Everyone on the DL<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-770x770+274+5_10569006.gif" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This 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.2015-05-021h 27Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 128: Previewing the MLB Draft with Torii Hunter's Life Sized Demon Bobblehead<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-576x576+0+82_10546909.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br /><p>This week on the Talk to Contact podcast we rehash the week that was in Twins territory, including Mike Pelfrey and Trevor May pitching for a job in the rotation after Ricky Nolasco returns from his rehab start in Cedar Rapids, what the hell Torii Hunter is doing attempting a straight steal of home, and our very own Jay Corn finally earns his Talk to Contact membership card.</p>

In the second half of the program we are joined by Seth Stohs from TwinsDaily.com to talk about the first week of Minor League baseball. And of course, beer, baseball, and the news.2015-04-171h 51Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEp 126: A Dumpster Fire<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-379x379+122+0_10507996.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />The 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...2015-04-101h 42Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastPredicting the future. And Cats. Detroit Cats. Tigers.<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10489808.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />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.

After a couple beers, we talk baseball with Royals Review, http://www.royalsreview.com/, editor-in-chief, Max Reiper and find out what the Royals have been doing this winter.

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.

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.

Byron Buxton! Eddie Rosario! Baseball! LIVE BASEBALL! WELCOME BACK BASEBALL FANS! Baseball is back in Twins Territory with the return of Spring Training baseball on television and the sound of the crack of the bat. We're back for our third full season of Twins baseball.

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.

Reviewing the roster this week we dive deeper on Glen Perkins, Eddie Rosario, and Phil Hughes.

We go down on the pond and talk about Cameron Booser (Jay nicknames him Boose, era of lame nicknames, indeed), and we go all around the league talking beer, baseball and the news.2015-01-301h 32Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastEpisode 117 - TwinsFest Preview<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000_10285155.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />This 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.

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...2015-01-161h 24Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins PodcastNo Rolf, No Problem: 2015 New Years Resolutions<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-1796x1796+0+26_10245481.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />After 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...2015-01-091h 35Talk To Contact - An Unaffiliated Minnesota Twins Podcast114: Hang out and Talk to Contact<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/3000x3000-270x270+88+47_10209769.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Phil 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.
