A wave of consolidation is sweeping through the sales tech industry. I recently listened to a brilliant episode from the Topline podcast, featuring Salesloft CEO David Obrand, that shed light on the current state of the GTM tech landscape. As highlighted in the episode, key players like Clari, Gong and Outreach are expanding their offering to boost their TAM and offer more comprehensive solutions. Whilst the trend is understandable, the danger is long-standing partnerships start to fray as overlapping functionalities emerge - partnerships that were once the lifeblood of the sales tech ecosystem. For us, it begs the question. In a world of all-encompassing GTM suites, is there still a place for specialized, best-in-breed solutions? I believe the answer is a resounding yes - but only if they can offer extraordinary value. To thrive in this new era, point solutions must not only deliver great results but also seamlessly integrate into a company’s core tech stack and existing workflows. At MultiplyGTM, we’re laser-focused on providing planning intelligence that complements rather than competes with the everyday solutions revenue teams rely on, and goes deep in addressing a critical need - empowering revenue leaders with the confidence and clarity to achieve their goals. Whilst we may lack the resources of larger players, our goal is to provide unparalleled planning intelligence and insights that drive revenue, while growing sustainably and delivering immense value to our customers with our domain expertise. We're on the cusp of announcing some game-changing partnerships too that will extend our reach and impact, while maintaining our focus on delivering the revenue planning capabilities that drive profitable efficient growth. Stay tuned! 🚀

Sales ops, RevOps—what’s the difference? They both lead to revenue growth, right? Not always. 👎🏼 Despite the buzz around revenue operations (RevOps), it’s surprising that less than half (48%) of companies have a RevOps function. When companies use sales ops to run RevOps, they often make three common mistakes that impact territory planning, cross-functional potential, and strategic forecasting. Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/g5exJXVS Fullcast, The Go-to-Market Cloud Ryan B.

Top leaders live in three-month increments – that’s one quarter or 13 weeks. Essentially, you build your revenue cadence around that. Here at Clari, we’ve broken it down into four blocks with different themes. Watch Scott Peyser, SVP of RevOps, explain it below.

AI-native companies need to embrace new pricing paradigms (price based on work done, on outcome vs hours, etc). Inevitably, new pricing models are accompanied by new workflows, new ways of invoicing, and new challenges around billing. This makes Sequence's modern billing platform particularly relevant: Sequence helps finance and commercial teams automate manual billing and stop revenue leakage. Sequence has just launched their CPQ Product for B2B software businesses with hybrid pricing, designed specifically for AI, B2B SaaS and Fintech startups. This release empowers B2B teams to create flexible pricing proposals or contracts, including teams selling custom deals with usage tiers, minimum commitments, or ramped pricing, Sequence CPQ works for any pricing model or deal term. As a customer says: "Sequence is like a notion page supercharged with pricing tools." Excited for Sequence to build the critical infrastructure needed to enable new, flexible paradigms that are critical for the AI revolution.

An enterprise sales kickoff (SKO) is critical for aligning the sales team with the company’s strategic objectives, energizing the team, and setting the stage for a successful sales year. Beyond alignment of company goals, product and service education, motivation and morale boost, skills development, networking and team building, marketing and competitive insights, goal setting and accountability, inspiration and vision, strategic planning, and a feedback loop from the field, there are also several consistent mistakes/NOT-to-do many organizations ignore before, during, and after their SKOs! Here is my latest post on Ten Sales Kickoff Insights shared by GTMnow - https://lnkd.in/eQxQrKuJ GTMfund Sales Community #SKO #SalesKickoff #GlobalKickoff #KeynoteSpeaker #RelationshipEconomics #CoCreate #CurveBenders #ConsequenceOfAI

Gone are the days when sheer volume—calls made, emails sent—was the gold standard for evaluating an SDR’s performance. Today, the focus has shifted. Check out our new blog post to learn more. https://lnkd.in/d24RFiiQ

Great dinner and discussion on the cutting edge of outbound automation and signals. Two nuggets from the discussion: 1) Email deliverability is especially critical for GTM motions with large scale outbound automation (usually selling to SMBs and wide TAM). There doesn’t seem to be a silver bullet, and banking on one deliverability vendor / approach is risky. 2) Bulllish on signals and automation for up-market GTM motions, but needs to be done thoughtfully. Likely keeping reps in the driver’s seat and less end-to-end automation.

It will be interesting to see how this dynamic changes things. Even if the #SaaS pioneer changes their #pricing model, there are bound to be shifts. Customers for whom the old model was great may balk at shifting to the new, while others will jump at a pricing structure that is now better suited to them. Assuming that WTP will remain constant across the existing customer base regardless of the pricing configuration feels like a HUGE risk. While SFDC wants to extract the maximum value from its customers... evolutions in the tech will ultimately mean that customers NEED LESS Salesforce to accomplish their goals. Can Salesforce also evolve and retain its position as indispensable to customers? Pricing is often an optimization strategy. How can we get more by capturing latent WTP. If I were SFDC, I would add to this strategy (not replace it) a strong look at the market not currently served due to price. I'd want to know if #AI allows SFDC to serve markets that they currently cannot profitably serve? Opening new TAM > shuffling the deck chairs IMO. There's a pride to being the premium provider that can undermine your goal of maximum revenue. #cmozen

Marc Benioff can I introduce you to new way to accelerate growth? Seven revenue solution implemented in a day. How many business would move to salesforce. In my view all of them in time. Lets talk simple math: 250,000 customers x $100,000 (the cost of one employee) which is 45 licenses equals $25B/year. Best part everyone can self-implement. Gokul Rajaram would you like to see what I am talking about?
