In our business, one of the greatest sales challenges that most companies face is how to properly gain insight from the data. Some companies chase a bunch of data without any regard for the story that the data tells. Others struggle when they launch sales coaching without any data at all. One “must-have” sales data insight that all companies should understand is the “pull-through rate.

Relationships are important in selling, in business, and life. But what does that mean, at least for selling? The old stereotypes and some that were prevalent when I started selling include that backslapping sales person, with the latest jokes, who focused on becoming a “buddy.” They were the one’s that not only sent their customers birthday cards or took them out for drinks, but they also sent their customers’ kids birthday cards.

So it’s hard to get a sense of just what is happening in SaaS. “B2B2B” remains in a big funk, with Salesforce projecting a decline to single-digit growth for the first time ever next year. And in the aggregate, public SaaS companies are growing the slower they have in history. And yet … both AI and the consumer economy remain strong: Databricks is growing 60% at $2.4B — and that’s up from 50% the year before!

Recent studies show that the average tenure of CROs in SaaS startups lasts between 1.5 and 1.9 years. For commercial CROs, the average tenure jumps to two years, but the point remains: if you want to make a splash, there isn't time to spare.

Have you ever noticed how the way we work with ChatGPT and other LLMs tends to mirror so many of our customer and internal conversations? Too often, it might be similar to talking with a very knowledgeable person who is unengaged, uncaring, aloof. The typical conversation with a LLM is very one sided. It’s not very interested in us, it seems to be in a rush, as if it has someone or something more important to work with.

HubSpot’ s LinkedIn integration boosts sales efficiency with real-time data sync but presents new challenges for SMBs in marketing and consolidation. Salesforce has had a tight integration with Sales Navigator for a while, dominating the market by using LinkedIn data to target the right decision-makers.

Trust in business is not quite the same as trust in our personal lives. I think everyone recognizes that. You’ll never trust Salesforce or HubSpot the way you trust your family or your best friend, and I think the people at those companies would whole-heartedly agree on that point.
