Activities

Master classes

Hands-on knowledge transfer for practitioners. After the master class, you will know how to tackle a specific topic in a very practical way and what you have to pay attention to when implementing it.

Round tables

In this mastermind session, a moderator structures and leads the exchange in a small group. Joint problem-solving and exchange of experiences.

Tech Talks

Each speaker, an experienced CTO or CPO, will give a 3-10 minute intro to a tech topic of their interest. A select group consisting of other CTOs / CPOs / tech founders will then discuss solution approaches and perspectives in a hands-on manner.

After Hours

The Speakers' After Hours is a Q&A on steroids. Instead of asking a few questions on stage, speakers take their most engaged listeners to a separate table where they can take follow-up questions and discuss ideas in a more intimate and actionable way than a stage would allow. We believe that value-creation starts when a potential solution can be discussed with additional context and in depth.

Panels

Smart people discuss their perspectives on B2B SaaS including Q&A.

Roasting

Test your customer sales pitch or software demo with our Sales Roasting Experts.

Learn which common mistakes to avoid and what techniques to use when pitching your product. Leave this session with a new & improved sales pitch to maximise your closing rate with new clients.

ROAST YOUR PITCH

Pitch Roasting Becomes Sales Acceleration (with a Focus on Discovery). For anyone who wants to take their sales performance to the next level, our new Sales Acceleration Session is just the thing. In an interactive 30 minutes you will dive deep into your current sales and discovery process together with Björn W. Schäfer. Discover how you can immediately leverage efficiency potential through improved discovery BEFORE the pitch or BEFORE the demo. Find out how you can then optimize your pitch or demo and thereby significantly increase the probability of closing and significantly shorten the sales cycle. Be there and find direct starting points for your sales acceleration.

Share the status quo with Björn before your session:

  1. Sales Process BEFORE the pitch or BEFORE the demo
  2. Discovery framework currently used, e.g. SPICED or MEDDICC
  3. Current sales velocity with values ​​for win rate, ACV and sales cycle

ROAST YOUR DEMO

Your demos don't generate any buzz and end up in closed lost status?
You probably loaded your feature function shotgun again instead of being relevant.


What could be the reason for this?

  • You fucked up your Discovery
  • You are talking to the wrong people
  • You show too many views in your software
  • You don't provide context
  • You talk about features instead of added value
  • You don't keep your audience engaged etc.

Get feedback from people who know how to do it. Who have done it a thousand times. Who have a track record to show for it.
Unpack your demo and let Jan and Tim "roast" you, with appreciation and sensitivity.

Procedure:

  • You bring your software demo (preferably with additional slides), which you have given or want to give to a customer, to Berlin 
  • Your "Roasting" session will last 30 minutes
  • You have 7 - 10 minutes for your demo pitch – most of it should be your software demo
  • The rest of the time is used for intensive feedback that can be implemented directly

Higher Winrate and more control via Multithreading

Only the very best companies are still able to grow like they did in 2020/2021. It's more important than ever for an AE to have control of their deals and for a manager to understand overall pipeline health. This is only possible with multithreading - something that most of us already organically do. But are you doing enough of it? Let's find out!
