I was not given any training, just a script and a list of phone numbers. That said, I was the only person to win two deals. Before that job, I washed dishes, where I learned the discipline of working. Making calls was no different than washing dishes.

Is your marketing team tired of hearing about AI? To some extent, we all are. It’s part of the hype cycle of any new technology. Marketing teams now find themselves surrounded by AI.

Your opportunities, especially at the enterprise level, are rarely ever sold to a single decision-maker. Top-performing organizations have go-to-market teams that successfully navigate buying committees of multiple stakeholders, as well as the parties who influence them, to sell deals at a high value. The best revenue teams have the cross-functional credibility and willingness to have multi-faceted sales conversations that drive a collective “YES” from all stakeholders.

Dear SaaStr: How Do I Best Prevent Churn? You don’t. Instead, you drive it down. Each quarter. You can’t eliminate churn. It’s a fact of business life in selling a product with recurring revenue and thus recurring sales. You can hide churn (e.g., by signing multiyear contracts). And you can drive it down. But you can’t eliminate it. My top suggestion is: Measure churn carefully, and consistently.

It’s human nature to have biases. We tend to see things the way we want to see them. We find facts and evidence that support our experience or what we want to believe. Our propensity to do this causes us, perhaps unconsciously, to defend the status quo. But this doesn’t mean we are right. The doesn’t mean we are seeing things the way they are.
