This has been an incredible roller-coaster for us in SaaS and Cloud since March 15, for some even more than others, but an incredible amount of change for all of us.

Previously, many businesses have conceptualized their sales and marketing teams and functions as two separate entities. In this context, marketers’ job is to produce content and promote the company to bring in as many leads as possible, while the sales team are left to attempt to convert these leads into customers.

I remember the first time I worked directly for a CEO. I’d reported to leaders before, and a VP before, but never the CEO. It was also my first start-up job. The start-up I joined had about 60 people and just 1 office, a big shared office like a fishbowl. My desk was in there. In there, sat the CEO, the President, the Controller, and as of my first day … me.

Ahhhh, objections. The bane of salespeople’s existence. Red flags, hurdles, deal crushers — whatever you like to call them, they often surface at the worst possible time. . If reps aren’t careful, “harmless” questions can knock a deal back a couple of stages or, even worse, derail it altogether. For sales teams, there’s simply nothing worse than progressing a deal through the pipeline only to have a no-go objection come up at the 11th hour.
