Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Collin Stewart. Collin started his career in 2008 in equipment sales and marketing for 4 years before co-founding his first company VoltageCRM, followed by co-founding his second company Carburetor, where they helped companies build their outbound sales teams based on the Cold Calling 2.0 framework from Aaron Ross’ Predictable Revenue book. In 2014 Carburator merged with Predictable Revenue, leading Collin to his most recent and current venture where he serves today and for the last decade as CEO of Predictable Revenue. Five years ago I had a viral conversation with Aaron Ross about whether or not the SDR Model or Predictable Revenue is broken. The full discussion is available on YouTube if you want to check it out, but a lot has happened since then and I’m curious to learn first-hand from Collin what’s actually going on at Predictable Revenue and how they’ve pivoted or evolved their services to adapt with the quickly changing B2B sales landscape.

Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Michel Lieben. Michel received his bachelor’s degree in economics in 2016 and then started his career as a Marketing Specialist and Growth Marketer for 4 years before starting his most recent and current venture, where he serves today as the Founder & CEO of ColdIQ, an agency that helps B2B companies scale their outbound prospecting activities. Michel is a certified expert with modern growth tools like Clay, Instantly, and Smartlead, and has built outbound systems for over 100 B2B sales organizations.
