When you start growing above 50 employees, and certainly get to 100, things change, you now have teams, which means you have functional leaders. Rather than having this feeling of disconnected functional areas, everyone in the company knows what to work on. To me, that’s what the cadence says. I learned this operating myself.

I don’t know if it’s 20 percent per month or did you just go 20 percent last meeting. Greenhouse followed a similar path to Talkdesk and should cross $10 million ARR later this year, up from almost nothing at the start of the year. What I mean is that even to sell let’s say, to a customer in London.

We’ve got a lot of training to do with our sales teams to get them to start to speak in these types of terms versus feature function. That doesn’t mean to say, you’re going to do away with the functions. Jay Snyder: That’s an enablement exercise that is not to be minimized, right? I mean, what do they do?

Awesome revenue growth on the X axis, awesome revenue retention on the Y. And I think it comes out of the 80s and 90s and how we used to sell with shelfware. It was all about getting the contract. If you ever asked me to come to your board meetings, I want this to be the first slide. That’s easy. We sold software.

We shut down something called the Evernote market which was selling physical goods, sunset some nice products like Evernote food which had nice followings, but I felt were distracting from the larger priorities. If your kids or your dog walk into a Zoom meeting, embrace it. There’s millions of different ways to do it.
