When I was a kid, my father taught me how to sail. At first I sailed in racing dinghy’s never far from the shore. In high school, we graduated to cruising boats. While we never intended to do oceanic cruising, but the shoreline was beyond sight, and one of the challenges was knowing where we were and if we were going in the right direction. My dad’s solution to this was to teach me celestial navigation.

For more than a decade of my career, I held various demand generation titles at multiple companies, and the function has evolved greatly in that time. However, if you’ve been listening to the chatter on LinkedIn over the past two years, that evolution has gained speed and influence. What was once a lead generation and nurturing function has now been rebranded into a full go-to-market (GTM) approach, often owning most of the budget, especially in smaller tech companies.

This morning, clearing my inbox and feeds, I noticed a headline. It referred to the average tenure of GTM executives being 17 months… The article offered sound advice on how to deal with a career living in 17 month increments. My thought, in reading this was, “Why do we settle for this? Why do we consider this acceptable? Wouldn’t we and the organizations we lead achieve much more with longer tenures?

So UiPath was early to what we now think of as “AI”, but blazed the path in automation. Which is what a lot of SaaS and B2B AI is really about. Automating away human-driven processes. And its “Robotic Process Automation” did that to an extreme, rocketing it from $1m ARR to $1000m ARR is close to record time. Growth slowed a bit, but now is re-acclerating.

Audience at Salesforce Connections, Chicago. The latest Salesforce Shopping Index data suggests that shoppers are holding onto their purse strings until later in the year — at least, if 2023 is any guide. The consumer caution exhibited in 2022 and 2023 will continue through 2024. As far as ecommerce goes, this doesn’t mean it’s not showing YoY growth; it’s just that the growth is very modest so far — just 2% in Q1.
