TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:52] Today’s Topic: A Conversation with Yaniv from Nextiva [01:30] Nextiva’s core product is business phone service. [01:50] They have a team of over a thousand people and compete with large companies all over the world. [02:06] They are making over $170 Million in annual revenue. [04:26] Affiliates are a big part of their business. [05:41] It’s a great way to put content out on high-domain-authority sites. [06:08] Being relentless is the thing that made Nextiva the success that it is. [07:50] When hiring, Yaniv focuses on three principles. [07:55] Hire people who are great at what they do. [08:26] Surround yourself with “doers”. [09:12] Don’t hire assholes. [10:02] Disney used to test people before the interview even began. [13:15] Nextiva launches products fairly often. [13:30] People don’t often leverage a LinkedIn takeover: simple video posts from your whole team on the same day. [14:45] Gaetano DiNardi has mastered the art of engaging, viral posts. [15:40] Monthly, Nextiva spends half a million dollars on Ad Words. [16:11] Yaniv encourages the use of exit pop-ups. [19:33] The top complaint most employees have is poor communication. [20:01] So, Nextiva set out to fix that problem. [20:46] They realized people hate emails and reading, so they created a weekly video update. [23:24] The best part of Nextiva’s landing pages are reviews of the company being compared to their competitors. [24:22] Cameo is the best new tool that Yaniv has added to his workflow. [28:32] Yaniv does all his work on his iPad Pro. [30:20] Yaniv gets better at marketing by surrounding himself with other smart marketers. [30:38] He finds LinkedIn to be a great resource for articles and insights. [31:10] That’s it for today! [31:16] We are going to take applications for live intensive sessions.
