Outbound Game

Heard of 'The Keeper Test'? It's a game changer for leaders and businesses no matter what industry you're in. The Cofounder of Netflix, Reed Hastings, came up with this idea of 'The Keeper Test' after remembering his dad yell out 'Reed, that's a keeper!' during a fishing trip as a kid. Good fish = keep them. Not a good fish = send them back to the ocean. He recently sent out a team memo for each of his managers and leaders to run a keeper test for every single team member under their leadership. The idea was simple. Answer 'no' to any one of the following questions and the leader should offer a healthy severence and send them on their way: 1. If employee 'X' decided to leave today, would you fight for them to stay? 2. Knowing everything you now know about employee 'X', would you choose to hire them again? A single 'no' would mean the termination of that employee. Harsh? maybe... Effective? absolutely! hashtag #leadership hashtag #management hashtag #salesleadership hashtag #netflix

The Outbound team recently gathered around a set of rice paper rolls for 2025 planning day. We’re pumped for the next 12 months to come. Together, we’ll be slaying the dragons of bored, demotivated sales teams all over the world. …. And eating rice paper rolls. See you there. #sales #gamification

Duplicating sprints from one month (or week, or even day) to the next is easy with Outbound. Sales leaders love this feature because motivating their team for yet another sprint is as easy as a few clicks and the game keeps rolling!

HubSpot adoption is critical to its success. There's no point investing thousands into your CRM if none of your team are using it. There's also no point if your team are using it, but only because they're being forced to (or need constant reminding from leadership to update their notes). The data that goes in will be the bare minimum to check a box, and won't actually be that valuable in helping you make decisions long term. Instead, show your team how to have the CRM work FOR them, not the other way around. Adoption then becomes a self-driven and self-motivated act by the team. That's what Outbound is all about. Making HubSpot adoption a self-motivated act. How good. #outbound #crm #hubspot

How to make your visions a reality, gamification edition: 1. Align your team on a vision. 2. Decide upon the values your team will need to make that vision real. 3. Ask yourself ‘what actions would we be seeing that exemplify those values’? 4. Incentivise your people for doing more of those actions and activities. 5. And watch as your vision eventually comes to life. Thats gamification 🫶 #outbound #sales #gamification

Getting a sales team to put their data and notes into HubSpot is the bane of a sales leader's existence. Its the one thing they ask for most. And the one thing their team does the least. Which is tough, because the data in a CRM is worth its weight in gold in helping a company make strategic decisions. Outbound Game says 'hold my beer'... #sales #crm #hubspot

We're hearing a lot of feedback that 'tasks' in HubSpot are at an all time high for 'overdue'. Salespeople are losing sleep. Sales leaders are batting down the hatches, waiting for the clip around the ears from the board. And then we realised... their completion could be gamified. Hold our beer. Gotta go code something... #outbound #tasks #loading

When you're building tech, you've gotta make some cut throat decisions. Building code is expensive and takes a lot of time. So, one wrong decision can cost you the kitchen sink. Which is why we knew we had to think carefully about which CRM we wanted to go all-in on. Which horse did we want to back? And after getting to work on the HubSpot x Outbound Game integration, we were rapidly certain we'd made the right call. The two go together like a hand in a glove. We've bled orange ourselves for a long time. And now that we're building on the platform, it seems we'll still be bleeding orange for a long time. All hail the #hubolution. #HubSpot #outbound #integration

People have always been naturally curious about 'gamification'. Its a fun topic to talk about. Sales leaders have always been frustrated by their sales teams CRM usage. Its not such a fun topic to talk about. So we've combined the two worlds into one and created a match made in heaven. The latest round of HubSpot x Outbound Game direct integrations are set to solve the problem of 'we pay a tonne for our CRM but the team sucks at using it!'. Stay tuned! #sales #crm #gamification
