034 Amelia Taylor on Sourcing and Influencing Revenue as an Evangelist

Today’s guest is Amelia Taylor, Evangelist and GTM Strategist at Regie.ai. She joins host Ethan Beute to share the story of evolving from a sales role into an evangelist role – how she did it, why she did it, and how it’s going.Amelia shares the essence of being an evangelist, a role that demands an unwavering dedication to spreading messages and ideas in the most impactful manner possible. She explains how to meet today’s and tomorrow’s buyers with both EQ and IQ, as the dynamics of human interaction, the behavior of buyers, and the role of salespeople are all shifting.Takeaways:The most important role of an evangelist is to connect with people in a genuine and helpful way. Amelia emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and of taking on the roles of peer and friend to clients. This approach cultivates a comfortable atmosphere, leading to higher success rates.The concealed domain of dark society carries dual potentials that evangelism can unlock. Amelia believes the future of sales prioritizes IQ, EQ, and interpersonal dynamics – meeting, engaging, and serving buyers in the places they live and work.“But is this sales?” This is a question Amelia asks as she breaks out of the sales box in an effort to go to where your buyers are, leverage existing relationships (with advisors, for example), and source revenue in unorthodox ways. Adapting to changes in the buying process may drive more evangelist roles.Shifting from a sales role to an evangelist role involved selling the concept to the CEO, the CMO, and others. If you take this path, put a clear plan together – including primary areas of focus (or activity “buckets”) and revenue targets you expect to source and influence.Quote of the Show:“You have to go where your buyers live. Being present there. Being human. Being yourself. Being a peer and a friend to your buyer. That’s how buyers are buying.” Links Related to This Episode:Amelia Taylor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tayloramelia/ Regie.ai: https://www.regie.ai/ RevGenius: https://www.revgenius.com/ Amelia Taylor on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ameliaallentaylor/See or Hear More Conversations on Chief Evangelist with Ethan Beute:YouTube: https://youtu.be/wUrRk70xc6M Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/73U1NzW3aAaqo03pEV2uOd?si=a0fI3azgRRSuXVGX_GkJKw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/034-amelia-taylor-regie-ai-on-sourcing-and/id1652687400?i=1000625509670 Chief Evangelist: https://www.podpage.com/chief-evangelist-with-ethan-beute/034-amelia-taylor-regieai-on-sourcing-and-influencing-revenue-as-an-evangelist/ Chief Evangelist is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.
