“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist.

We all know that the B2B sales process is becoming increasingly complex. Over the past many years, we have seen a shift in how B2B buyers make decisions. They are much more informed, have too many options, and are digitally well connected to validate their choices. Sellers struggle and often fail to provide their buyers with the right answers. This alignment gap between buyer’s expectations and seller’s skills continue to grow, and the new normal with COVID-19 isn’t helping. But, is the gap because the sellers are less capable, or is there something else that is fundamentally misaligned? We’re questioning everything – from old school sales practices to how we communicate with the buyer who knows it all. Let’s hear what an expert has to say. Hi guys, this is your host Ashish Jain, and you are listening to the ALYNMENT podcast, where we aim to expose the day-to-day misalignments between marketing and sales activities and discuss practical solutions to end this long-standing paradigm. Today’s guest is Spencer Wixom, the senior vice president of marketing and business development at Challenger Inc, an organization with many top-selling books on overcoming sales challenges, such as The Challenger Sale , The Challenger Customer , and The Effortless Experience .

Many medical providers had telehealth as a tool for conducting virtual patient visits, but patients and providers had not had much need or desire to use it. Until now. The pandemic hit hard in mid-March, and the shelter-in-home orders pushed medical practices to find ways to treat patients without seeing them in their offices. Can telehealth rise to the occasion to meet the medical treatment needs using virtual visits? And if it can, will doctors, nurse practitioners, and more importantly, patients continue to use it? Let’s find out. Our guest today, Dr Chris Clark, is an experienced family medicine specialist in the Dallas area, and he has been practicing medicine for 26 years. He graduated from The Texas A&M University College of Medicine in 1994 and is currently affiliated with Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. I recently got introduced to Dr. Clark, and I was intrigued by how his practice went through the transformation journey to tele-health. It was amazing to learn about “what matters” to a medical facility in deciding which technology is available and, more importantly, what is viable for virtual medical visits services. My goal today is to learn more about their journey with you and discuss the alignment gaps that still exist in making telehealth mainstream.

Artificial intelligence is one of those buzzwords that is underestimated and over rated at the same time. We experience the power of AI everyday while interacting with Alexa, while writing emails, while getting a delivery from Amazon, or while planning a trip. Yet we are sceptic about its viability and fearful of AI replacing humans. Today the focus of our discussion is to uncover some of the misalignments that impacts sales productivity and demystify the role of AI in enabling sales. The question is: Will AI replace sales professionals, or will it empower them? Can artificial intelligence be used to automate, predict and supercharge the way they work, or will it completely replace certain role in the sales cycle such as inside sales? On our show, we have Rob Kall, CEO and co-founder of Cien, an AI-powered tool that helps sales professionals be more productive and uncover areas of improvement. He is also a serial entrepreneur who has founded and sold many successful companies! Here are a few questions we tackle in this show: What is the most underestimated impact of misalignment in sales that most companies completely ignore? What are the core problems in sales teams? How can AI solve these problems? What are some must-have tools that every sales team should invest in? How can you build a culture or mindset that is more accepting of AI in sales? Sales is a Human2Human function - does AI take away that aspect? You can connect with Ashish Jain and Rob Kall on LinkedIn.

ALYNMENT - Private Networks Technology to Business Alignment for Enterprises
5G technology might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “brain surgery”. Going under the knife for any reason isn’t the most thrilling proposition for anyone, but how would you feel about getting a surgery without doctors in the operating room? 5G promises to bring many innovations to healthcare including remote surgery. But is that a fact or a fiction? Let’s find out. In today’s podcast, I am talking with brain surgeon Dr Kalil Abdullah, who is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Director of Integrated Brain Tumor Research Program. He has published more than 100 research papers and is regularly invited to speak both nationally and internationally. In short, he is extremely qualified. Dr Abdullah works with a lot of cutting-edge medical instruments to treat his patients with a brain tumor, but the focus of our discussion today is not about medical science. Instead, we will attempt to separate some facts from fiction and get his realistic perspective on some of the technologies such as 5G and Augmented Reality that claims to revolutionize healthcare and assist medical professionals in innovative ways.

5G, unlike other cellular generations, is touted to bring an unprecedented innovation for enterprises – more than we have ever seen before! But for that vision to become real, a lot of things need to be in place. While telecom service providers are getting all their ducks in a row, enterprises and building owners also need to align their plans to make their workspace 5G ready. On today’s podcast I have someone whom I want to call the telecom superhero. Dudy Cohen is currently the Vice President of Product Marketing at Ceragon Networks and has decades of experience in the telecom industry both as a vendor as well as a service provider. While he understands 5G technology across the entire spectrum (pun intended), he has experience delivering enterprise communication and data applications as well. Together we will help IT professionals get a realistic perspective on 5G and help them understand their emerging role and the infrastructure requirements to include 5G in their digital transformation roadmap. Most importantly, we will talk about the need for a shift in mindset that’s more open to this new and disruptive technology.

CBRS or Citizens Broadband Radio Service has been touted as an innovation band to revolutionize enterprise private wireless connectivity, but this 4 letter acronym is not yet pervasive in CIO’s tech stack. What are the promises it really holds for businesses and the end consumers? What will be the real-world business impact of CBRS based Private LTE on telecom carriers and enterprises? Where does it makes sense and where it does not? And is it ready for the prime time? Today, we have with us Taliver Heath from Google, who will help us fill some of the alignment gaps in commercializing CBRS and Private LTE. I met Taliver at the OnGo booth during Mobile World Congress Los Angeles. While he has a very impressive background and vast knowledge and experience on this topic, his humble attitude makes him an instant friend. Together, we will get to the bottom of the big promise CBRS brings to improve private LTE networks, bridge the gaps between expectation versus reality, bust some myths, and most importantly, discover how your IT team can leverage the benefits of the CBRS shared spectrum structure.

Firefighters risk their lives every day. The hazard of entering a smoke-filled building, with zero-visibility, is something most of us cannot even imagine. While technology has made strides in so many aspects of our lives, yet most existing solutions remain unaligned with the real-world needs of our firefighters and first responders. Today, in our podcast, we talk about how innovative use of some technologies such as behavioral neuroscience, augmented reality, computer vision, and 5G can and are, in fact, changing this. Our guest today is Dr. John Long - a researcher scholar from UC Berkeley, and CTO at Qwake Technologies. I met John at Verizon’s booth in Mobile World Congress Los Angeles, where he was demonstrating some very inspiring work he and his team have put together to help firefighters save more lives and stay safe. Not only is the work they are doing quite interesting, but also John’s background and journey are quite extraordinary, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Together with John, we will dig into many details that will help us align exciting facts on our learning behavior, human performance under stress, the role of computer vision and 5G technology, the adoption challenges of new technologies at fire departments, and many more.
