Who doesn’t talk about artificial intelligence nowadays? Some find it fascinating; some use it for daily activities, and others fear losing their jobs to AI. Yet, almost everyone will engage in the conversation if you ask their opinion on AI. You may have already tried some AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. Whether you like them or not, you may have noticed how they can speed up various tasks, from content generation to planning and researching.

It has never been easy to lead a sales force, but it is increasingly difficult today. The idea that sales is broken is a way to describe the slow reaction of sales organizations who don’t recognize how buyers have changed. Those who still practice a traditional sales approach lose opportunities that require a modern sales approach.

Some of these guru-types will focus on not needing to “be liked” if you can help your potential clients solve their problems and pain points. Others will suggest the industry is a contest between relationship selling versus consultative selling.

So the funding platforms, law firms and data sources that track venture all use slightly different data sets, and come to slightly different conclusions. But they all align on one thing: venture investments post-seed stage are way down. How down? The latest CB Insights data I thought summarized it the most elegantly: Deals were down to a 5+ year low , not just lower than the go-go days of late 2020 to late 2021, but down from every single quarter in 2019 and 2018, too.

So this survey and data won’t surprise very many, but I wanted to do it anyway to get the latest data back from the SaaStr community. The learning: your SDRs average tenure is about 14 months, and perhaps most importantly, 52% of you don’t see your SDRs last even 12 months. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise. SDR is an entry level role in most sales orgs, and many SDRs want to be promoted within 12-16 months, or look to move on to where they can get an AE role.

A good sales manager drives their company’s success by leading their sales team and leading growth. Success is scarce in a period of strong obstacles. One problem in today’s current environment is that buyers are shunning salespeople and attempting to research their own way to success, a process that often leads to buyer’s remorse. The second difficulty is the high level of uncertainty and unpredictability in the business world.

Over two-thirds of DTC brands use these channels, and 57% plan to increase spending in CTV/OTT in the first half of 2023.
