Q&A with Charles Dimov, VP Global Marketing at ContractPodAi

Media 7 | March 31, 2021

Charles Dimov, VP Global Marketing at ContractPodAi, is a technology marketing executive with 20+ years of leadership in B2B cloud-based SaaS, AI Tech, and hardware. He has a track record of accomplishments - creating strategies that drive demand, customer engagement, increasing revenue, and reducing operational costs. He is passionate about all segments of Marketing: content generation, product marketing, digital marketing, PR, communications, and events.

Significantly differentiating your product is not easy, and not always possible. For any market, the key is to create distinction in your offering and marketing messages.



MEDIA 7: Please tell us a little bit about yourself and take us through your professional journey.
CHARLES DIMOV:
I am the Vice President of Global Marketing for ContractPodAi. ContractPodAi develops world-leading Contract Management Systems for the In-House Legal market. Before this, I have been at the VP Marketing / Senior Management levels of both high-tech start-ups / scale-ups (OrderDynamics, ContractPodAi, independent consulting), and in large organizations like IBM, Ericsson, HP, McGraw-Hill, and ADP.

Through this journey, I have started or turned around eight (8) businesses … which has become a niche capability where I best help organizations. My background is in Electrical & Computer Engineering, with an MBA (MASc technically). I am a rare engineer who converted into a professional marketer. In today’s world, this works excellently, given that Marketing has become very analytics and numbers-centric. The world of demand generation, product marketing, and social/brand awareness is a numbers game that a Marketing Engineer loves!

M7: Could you please briefly describe the impact ContractPodAi application would have if a company were to implement it tomorrow?
CD:
ContractPodAi’s product helps lawyers automate many mundane tasks, is a centralized system of record for contracts and helps manage the details of contracts. When the average enterprise-sized organization has 20,000 – 40,000 active contracts at any given moment, a system like ContractPodAi’s becomes immediately indispensable. Bottom line, it helps companies recapture the 9.2% of revenue leaked by poor contract management practices and capabilities.

M7: What are the benefits of using an AI-based contract analysis software?
CD:
There are many benefits. AI is a clear benefit to running analytics on a company’s contracts. Beyond that, we use NLP (natural language processing) to interpret each contract and extract relevant key legal obligations, critical dates, and financial implications. AI also provides the capability of near-instant quick translations of documents, for those working internationally. These examples merely scratch the surface of some of the automation capabilities that help boost a legal team’s productivity and capabilities within the organization.


AI is a clear benefit to running analytics on a company’s contracts as it provides the capability of near-instant quick translations of documents, for those working internationally.



M7: How do you ensure that your sales team understands and presents the products and services in an engaging manner?
CD:
We take our sales team through product training, provide slide decks, emphasize the key messaging, and train the team on being able to do their own quick demo on the system. This gives them the core understanding of the system, to better be able to engage, empathize with, and have fruitful conversations with our clients. Any new collateral, like brochures, white papers, and research – are discussed with the sales team before launching these to the market. This gives them an opportunity to better understand the asset, why a client would be interested in it, how it can help a prospect, and when to offer it to a potential customer to continue the engagement.

M7: What do you believe are the top three product marketing challenges in the post COVID-19 era?
CD: 1)
Creating a distinction for your product
2) Cutting through the noise of other product marketing (consistency & authenticity)
3) Focusing Product Marketing on Demand Generation efforts (despite the disruption of WFH, lockdown waves, etc).


You have to be continually learning about new ways to market, lead teams, promote creativity, and provide genuine value to clients. These are all things that our current AI systems are not equipped to do today



M7: How do you prepare for an AI-centric world as a Business Leader?
CD:
You have to be continually learning about new ways to market, lead teams, promote creativity / disruptive options, and provide genuine value to clients. These are all things that our current AI systems are not equipped to do today. These are the areas where a leader must take initiative, think out of the box, and lead. But, it is important to do all these things with an understanding of where AI is changing the dynamics of business, and what matters to your target audience.

M7: What is your marketing mantra to stand out in an overly saturated MarTech space?
CD:
Significantly differentiating your product is not easy, and not always possible. For any market, the key is to create distinction in your offering and marketing messages. The right distinction is to provide a solid product, great and helpful services, and marketing and sales that add value to the buying, retention, and advocacy process. Firing on all these cylinders consistently is how to succeed in the market.

Nium enhances global payroll payments solution, offers transparent Foreign Exchange (FX) rates for more predictable payroll

PRnewswire | June 01, 2023

Nium, the leader in real-time global payments, has enhanced its market-leading payroll payments solution to support the complex needs of payroll platforms worldwide. Nium's payroll solution simplifies global growth for a majority of payroll platforms, including Panther, a provider of global employment, payroll, benefits, and contractor software that can be integrated with an HR tech stack. In addition to expanded network and currency coverage in Canada, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, new enhancements to this offering include: Foreign Exchange (FX) Transparency: Allows for end-to-end FX control, which includes transparent costs with a single clear FX markup and one low per-transaction fee to help manage costs at scale. With this, clients can schedule bulk conversion for ease and control, lock FX rates to manage FX fluctuation, and configure fees at the customer level for flexibility; Beneficiary Pre-screen and Confirmation of Payee: Minimizes potential returns with verified payee information and keeps the payment process quick and smooth; Scheduled Payouts: Enables clients to disburse payments to their workforce on a certain date. Provides predictability to their clients' employees on when to expect to receive their salary payouts; Direct Debit in the US, UK, and EU: Provides the ability for platform clients to pull funds from their customers' primary bank accounts into their Nium wallet to fund payroll payouts, this improves cash flows and reduces friction. The global payroll outsourcing market was pegged at $9.9 billion in 2021, according to U.S.-based Allied Market Research. Growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031, the market is expected to reach $19.5 billion – making it one of the largest and fastest growing opportunities in global payments. The need to hire at scale across borders is rapidly becoming a key competition for companies. But, adding remote workers adds significant cost and complexity to payroll operations, simplified by the growing number of third-party payroll platforms. Specifically, 80% of companies believe that transparent foreign exchange rates are important for payroll providers. By making Nium's fees transparent, its clients can have more control over their finances. "Global payroll is complex," says Robin Gandhi, CPO of Nium. "Every country has different regulations, including tax laws, employment laws and data privacy laws which make the compliance process tricky, and that's what payroll platforms do best. However, getting money to every employee or contractor on payday in their preferred account, on-time, and across multiple geographies is not easy. With our global payments network and payroll specific functionality, we make payroll seamless, so platforms don't have to worry about the technical and legal lift to send money across the world knowing that their employees will have access to funds when they need them." "We trust Nium to move funds reliably, quickly, and compliantly around the world and across different corridors," said Matt Redler, CEO and Co-founder of Panther. "We consider their payroll solution a trusted component of our engine. Specifically, their transparent FX capabilities allow us to price our FX revenue stream in a competitive way. We're excited about Nium's payroll enhancements and our continued partnership." Nium's payroll solution goes beyond the ordinary, offering a comprehensive suite of products to empower global payroll platforms and businesses to seamlessly onboard, transact and manage payroll for employees and contractors worldwide, including competitive FX, built-in compliance, real-time payments, security offerings, zero-deduction wire transfers, and multiple market coverage. However, the company understands that payroll is not merely a transactional process; it is mission critical money movement that holds the power to impact lives and it's important to have a partner businesses can trust. By leveraging Nium's global payment platform, platforms and businesses can put their trust in Nium while they focus on growing globally with improved operational efficiency and exceptional customer experience. About Nium Nium, the leader in real-time global payments, was founded on the mission to deliver the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today.
