When I look across my investment portfolio for past 11 years , the #1 issue I think isn’t pricing, or TAM, or making a terrible mishire, or competition. Those all matter, but the best founders fight through them. No the #1 issue ends up being waiting too long to truly go multi-product. No matter what you do, if you are too slow here, growth stalls. I’m seeing all across my investments that are 5, 8, 10, 12+ years out.

When a customer begins the buying journey for a complex sale, they usually want to learn about their sales representative. This is true for both big-ticket consumer purchases as well as B2B products and services.
Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Dear SaaStr: How Can I Get The Attention of Software VCs? # 1: Get Out There: Get in TechCrunch. Get on Hackernews. Get on stage at any B tier or A tier event. Get warm intros from any successful founders or seed investors you know. Rent a cheap booth at an event lots of VCs attend. Don’t blow the bank, but this does work. Go to industry parties where VCs are and introduce yourself without being a stalker.

Storytelling is one of our oldest forms of communication and is an excellent persuasive tool. Stories do the job better than facts – you only have to look to the tabloid news cycle to see that. It’s also clear that, however fictional, stories can profoundly impact actions in reality, as the “Jaws effect” proves — a phenomenon where real-world policy around hunting sharks stems from an irrational overreaction to a scary, and fictional, Hollywood movie.

Conducting a successful negotiation where both parties arrive at a productive, mutually beneficial outcome is a delicate art — one that's every bit as screw-up-able as it is valuable. Thoughtful, effective negotiating skills are a “need to have” if you're going to hack it in sales, but developing them is rarely straightforward. And if you want to get there, you have to have a sense of the right points to cover and (maybe even more) the ones you need to avoid.
