It’s SKO season, yesterday I was leading a discussion with a great sales team. One of the sellers asked a question about dealing with customer questions and queries about the products, particularly deeply technical questions.

Many companies mistake sales negotiation as a function conducted exclusively by sellers. We consider negotiation a team effort. In a complex B2B sales environment, it is rare for an individual seller to negotiate an entire deal on his/her own without the support, guidance and active participation from the rest of the organization.

It’s now cutting that back a bit to 12.7% growth in 2024, basically flat with 2023. But that’s still a lot of growth. To over $1 Trillion in software spend worldwide — for the first time ever.

Dear SaaStr: What Are The Most “Evil” Things That VCs Do? I’ve been on every side of the table, and had challenging experiences with my investors. I think what founders get wrong is not understanding incentives. VCs really do want you to be a big success. They can’t make money otherwise. No one is out to get you. So really, the ‘worst’ things VCs do are simply around incentive dis-alignments.

The best sales processes make selling easy by helping you optimize sales conversations, delivering the right value at the right time.
