Introducing Four New Klue Original Series

Klue Originals has such a great ring to it. Kind of like Netflix Originals.

But since readers of this newsletter know how I feel about Netflix, that’ll be the last Compete Network–Netflix analogy I make.

Moving on.

Allow me to show off four new original series produced by Klue.

Back Office to Boardroom with Slack’s Clara Smyth

The boardroom is where decisions — and careers — are made.

Slack’s Sr. Product Marketing Manager talks with some of her idols, mentors and managers about what it took to get them from where they started, to where they are now.

Clara Smyth is without a doubt one of the most impressive and overall awesome compete professionals around.

(And her appearance on the Competitive Enablement Show is still the most downloaded episode ever.)

Listen to Episode 1 of BO2BR on the Compete Network.

️ Compared to What? with Federico Jorge and Jason Oakley ️

Comparison pages can be a great tool for turning consideration into conversion.

Unless you make mistakes like these brands made in episode 1 of Compared to What?

Stack Against founder Federico Jorge and Klue’s Jason Oakley take you through the nitty-gritty of it all.

And since an audio-only podcast about comparison pages would be pretty damn boring — this Klue Original is a video series!

Watch the first episode of Compared to What? now.

Winning as Women with Jody Geiger

The best sellers, revenue leaders, and coaches in the world sharing tactical advice and overcoming the same common challenges we all face in our career.And If the title didn’t give it away… yep, the guests, they’re mostly women. Why? Well, because it is mostly men giving advice on how to coach and lead sellers today. So let’s change that. The first two episodes of Winning as Women hosted by Klue’s Revenue Enablement Coach Jody Geiger are available to watch now on the Compete Network

⚡ SCIP IntelliCon 2022: Masters Series with Adam McQueen ⚡

You didn’t think we’d leave Adam out of all the Compete Network fun, did you?

Back in April, Adam had his reporter hat on and interviewed 15 guests at SCIP IntelliCon 2022 in Minneapolis.

On the Competitive Enablement Show feed, we gave you a taste of all 15 interviews on Parts I and II of Klue Live(Ish) from SCIP IntelliCon.

And now, we’re packaging up all 15 interviews and releasing them in a seven-part limited series.

First two episodes available now.

Coffee & Compete Community Corner

Meet, Sylvia Rayner, Competitive Solutions Specialist at Klue and avid reader of Coffee & Compete.

If you’re lucky enough to be on a demo call when she’s spitting fire about the Competitive Enablement Maturity Model, you’ll instantly forgive her for drinking instant coffee.

You’re the best Syl — thank you for all you do.
