Q&A with Sangram Vajre
Sangram Vajre, Co-Founder & Chief Evangelist at Terminus is also an author and host of the podcast FlipmyFunnel. He is one of the leading minds in B2B marketing.

MEDIA 7: What are you passionate about?
SANGRAM VAJRE:
Three things: Lead professionally. Grow personally. Love family.

M7: Terminus has been recognized as one of Georgia’s 40 fastest-growing companies by ACG Atlanta. What factors contribute to this pace?
SV: 
One of our core values is #OneTeam – which means we think and act as one team and know that if we treat our team right, they will treat our customers amazing. There are no great companies, only great people that make those companies.


"Marketers who say they are going to transform their organization without support from Sales and buy-in from management fail to see success."

M7: Terminus is the leader of the account-based movement. What according to you are the common mistakes marketers make with ABM?
SV:
 Marketers who say they are going to transform their organization without support from Sales and buy-in from management fail to see success. The marketers who make a few sales people wildly successful, join campaigns to help them win deals, win their hearts and minds.

M7: Could you tell us a little bit about your podcast Flipmyfunnel? How did that idea come about?
SV:
 I was already talking to customers and amazing people in the industry and every time I would walk away with the thought that wish I recorded that conversation. Well, I just started doing that which turned into a podcast series that has now over 500 episodes and continue to rate in the top 50 business podcast.


"Terminus can quickly get a sales rep alerted when their target account is on the website which helps them prioritize which target accounts they need to spend more time with."

M7: What are some of the best indicators that a prospect is really engaged with your brand?
SV:
Visit to your website and the frequency of it. There are technologies like Terminus that can quickly get a sales rep alerted when their target account is on the website which helps them prioritize which target accounts they need to spend more time with. This could become one of the most important indicators of early success for companies in 2020.


M7: What marketing channels do you use and which ones do you see as the most promising given your target customers?
SV:
It’s always the combination that works since everyone is different but the goal is to surround them with your message on their channels so when they are ready, they think of you.


"Mature and forward thinking CMOs are starting to help their sales team win more and faster by focusing on pipeline velocity and expansion deals."

M7: What aspects of ABM do you think might change in the future?
SV:
I believe ABM is B2B. Most companies are still focused on top of the funnel. Mature and forward thinking CMOs are starting to help their sales team win more and faster by focusing on pipeline velocity and expansion deals.


M7: What is your favorite quote?
SV:
Selling is essentially transfer of feelings – Zig Ziglar.

Oracle | September 20, 2023

The Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite offers healthcare-specific functionalities enabling entities to streamline operations and enhance patient outcomes. The conference highlights the need for healthcare organizations to prioritize transparency and collaboration across the entire delivery system, including suppliers, payers, and patient invoicing. As healthcare increasingly prioritizes proactive patient care, enhanced integration and collaboration across the ecosystem are vital for greater efficiency, accessibility, and equity. During the Oracle Health Conference, Oracle introduced specialized healthcare features into its Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing (SCM) solutions to assist healthcare organizations in improving patient care. The healthcare-specific functionalities have been integrated into the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite to assist healthcare organizations in enhancing financial transparency, fortifying supply chains, and elevating patient care. These will also help empower healthcare organizations to boost efficiency, reduce costs, adapt to new business models, improve decision-making processes, and enhance patient services. Nevertheless, the healthcare sector faces significant hurdles due to unpredictable demand and increased administrative costs. These challenges include managing resource and supply shortages and adapting to changing financial requirements for patient care.

The newly introduced capabilities within Oracle's healthcare-specific solutions empower healthcare organizations to streamline operations and adapt to evolving healthcare delivery models, from telehealth to home and community-based care. These enhancements encompass vital areas, including financial consolidation and reporting, which provide healthcare organizations with the tools to maintain comprehensive financial oversight in a complex healthcare environment through AI and automation. In procurement, these capabilities help reduce expenses and enhance the efficiency of medical supply orders, including contract and pricing integrations with group purchasing capabilities. Furthermore, replenishment planning and recall management features improve the availability of medical supplies by predicting demand and facilitating efficient recall processes to enhance safety and reduce risks within the healthcare supply chain.

CommonSpirit Health Sets Up National Value-Based Care Organization

CommonSpirit Health | September 22, 2023

Population Health Services Organization strives to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate quality, reduce costs, and benefit millions of patients. Half of CommonSpirit's value-based providers are external, paving the way for PHSO's network expansion. PHSO leverages CommonSpirit's value-based healthcare expertise, including successful risk-bearing organizations and ten accountable care organizations covering over 2.6 million lives. CommonSpirit Health has unveiled a nationwide value-based services platform named Population Health Services Organization (PHSO). This initiative primarily aims to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate care quality and outcomes, and reduce the overall cost of healthcare delivery. PHSO will deliver various services, including advanced population health analytics, network administration, care coordination, data management and analytics, technological infrastructure support, reporting, and additional support to empower healthcare providers and provider networks to excel in value-based care. Wright Lassiter III, CEO of CommonSpirit Health, stated, The PHSO is a natural extension of our mission and longstanding commitment to providing high-quality, equitable care and addressing social determinants of health. [Source – Business Wire] He added that by harnessing CommonSpirit's national scale and expertise in value-based care, the company's goal is to elevate the standard of healthcare in the United States and assist providers in succeeding in value-based care within diverse community-based health system environments. CommonSpirit Health extends its services to urban and rural communities across 24 states, establishing itself as one of the United States' most prominent providers of Medicare and Medicaid services. Consequently, its PHSO will cater to an even more diverse payer portfolio. Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President, Physician Enterprise at CommonSpirit Health, highlighted the organization's unique advantage in serving diverse communities encompassing Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance, making their data more representative of the American population compared to models primarily focused on commercial insurance. He added that CommonSpirit's presence in 24 states provides them with the data, tools, and access to a broad patient demographic, allowing them to tackle crucial national health challenges that require their size, scale, and expertise. For example, they can utilize data insights to understand testing, referral, and treatment patterns, enabling interventions that reduce viral infections like Hepatitis C, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Value-based care emphasizes the quality of healthcare over its quantity, promoting comprehensive and coordinated care to enhance health outcomes, quality, and equity. This model relies on contractual incentives for providers to achieve superior results, improve quality, enhance patient experiences, and curb healthcare expenses. Notably, the demand for such agreements is rising, exemplified by the company's goal to transition most Medicaid and all Medicare beneficiaries into value-based care relationships by 2030.
