Salesforce likes to talk about “Customers for Life”, and while that’s sort of catchy, it’s a little hard to grok what it really means. It finally sunk in for me a bit the other day.

Why create a custom attribution tool? Because with out-of-the-box tools, you’re limited by their functionality, data transformations, models, and heuristics. With raw data, you can build any attribution model that fits your business and domain area best. While few small companies collect raw data, most large businesses bring it into a data warehouse and visualize it using BI tools such as Google Data Studio , Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, Looker, etc.

The same study found that a quarter of people traveled 25 miles or more to stores with Black Friday discounts.

Why If You Can Get to $10m ARR, You Can Get To $300m ARR. Woah. That may sound controversial, or even silly. VCs may mock this. But hold on. Let me prove it to you. If you can get to $10m ARR, with positive revenue retention, you can indeed get to $300m ARR. In fact, the odds might even be seen as high. How can that be? It’s just math. Three factors combining together: First, the overall market for SaaS continues to grow.

Q: What are some no-no’s when it comes to funding a startup? Here’s my list: Never assume your existing investors will write you another check. They may, but it’s hard to predict if they will. Just assume any more money has to come from new investors. You’ll plan much better that way. This is my #1 no-no by far. Make sure the money lasts at least 18 months.

Sales is one of the few professions where we get to start over in the New Year. Regardless how we did in the previous year, we are now reset to zero. In reality, the concept of starting over in the New Year is more symbolic. The reality is most of what we are doing is a continuation of things that we have been working on for some months. We have or should have robust pipelines that we have been developing over the past months.
