This week I was rewatching the Steve Jobs presentation from 2007 where Apple released a piece of technology that perhaps you have heard of. They called it the iPhone. Maybe you are like me and wonder how it is possible that 18 years have passed since then. I still remember having dinner in Philadelphia with a work colleague who had just bought the first version of the iPhone.

I joined my family’s staffing firm when I was seventeen, and since then, I’ve witnessed a complete transformation in B2B sales strategy over the decades. From landing clients like Express, Victoria’s Secret, and DHL to navigating modern decision-making challenges, my journey spans three distinct sales eras — each with unique buyer behaviors and selling techniques.

It requires hours and hours of sales practice to refine a successful prospecting approach with a unique and compelling value proposition.

We measure our success based on hitting our revenue and profitability goals. Even when we claim to be customer centric, too often, we organize our GTM motions and measure our success in ways that make customers collateral damage, or worse, a means to our ends.

The B2B tech marketplace operates at a lightning-fast pace. The companies that stay ahead of the competition do so by maintaining momentum even through internal changes their leaders make to keep up with the times.

Great discovery is foundational to understanding our customers and their needs. Too often, we skip it, instead rushing to pitch our products. When we do some nominal level of discovery, it’s actually a product pitch in disguise. Our questions aren’t oriented to understanding their needs or what they seek to change. Instead they steer the customer to express their needs in terms of the capabilities/features of our products.

We analyzed every major public SaaS company’s YTD performance through just about the end of the first half of 2025. The results may change how you think about building software. TL;DR: The SaaS market has clearly bifurcated in 2025. AI-native + mission-critical = strong performance (Palantir +165%, ServiceNow +12%). Traditional horizontal SaaS faces big headwinds (Salesforce -18%, Asana -31%).

The Challenge with Flows Today Salesforce flows sit at the heart of modern CRM automation, yet authoring them still requires a unique mix of declarative drag‑and‑drop and Apex know‑how. To ease this process, Salesforce has committed to incorporating cutting-edge Generative AI technologies such as Agentforce for Flow (A4F, now generally available ). A4F uses AI to generate complete Salesforce flows from a user prompt, which can then be readily deployed on Flow Builder.

Doing a great job is fine, but it’s not enough. The real question is … will you do it consistently? While we start out good, we may later become lackadaisical and it then goes downhill from there.

John Dougan posted something interesting on LinkedIn (There is so little interesting in LI that I treasure the moments when I find something.). It was his struggle with the word Enablement and the concept of what Sales Enablement has become. And John runs sales enablement at a great organization.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

For sales teams engaged in complex sales , the most common reason for a “no deal” is not that the prospect chose another solution. It’s that they decided not to make a decision at all. These can be especially frustrating if they drag out and waste a lot of salesperson time chasing a decision that the buying organization never makes.

According to ChatGPT, the term, “Close but no cigar,” originated in the 1920s-30s. Apparently at carnivals and fairs, cigars were given out as prizes for things like shooting galleries, ring toss, dart games and so forth. When someone missed the mark, the carnie would yell, “Close but no cigar.” We’ve seen the term used for some harrowing moments.

As AI-powered workflows become central to sales and RevOps, go-to-market (GTM) execution is increasingly dominated by high-volume, sales-led outreach. This change prioritizes short-term demand capture over long-term brand building and demand creation. While AI enables scale and efficiency, it often sidelines marketing’s strategic role and compromises customer experience, especially in enterprise settings where automated outreach can do lasting damage.
Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.
