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.

Tech sales refers to selling technology as a product or service. As an illustration, I used to sell appointment-scheduling software — a single-function solution for easier meeting set-up. Hardware like laptops, televisions, and gaming systems can be sold both B2B and B2C to fulfill various needs.

How, if no one’s heard of you, do you sell to big companies? And the way you get it is whether it’s outbound, generally inbound events or whatever, solve a 10 X pain point, solve a unique pain point that a large enterprise has that other vendors don’t provide. So again, we could use it for any function.

I ask Jason why is this function so interesting? I feel like I hear that every day now because we’re all in that same lane, same pool and everyone gets a chance to meet her and they’re like, “Oh, wow. I mean, why is that function so interesting to you? What about partner marketing is so exciting? Appreciate it.”

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. Totally changes the game. The game has changed but we haven’t caught up. How often we run that meeting is how fast we learn. That’s easy.

Sometimes we’re not as founders, sometimes founders sell their company because they don’t end up being deeply passionate about what it does. So sell your product. A few can, Andreessen and maybe Sequoia, but 99% of the VCs you meet, legally, they can only invest in startups, whether they’re late stage or early stage.

We’re taking a ton of meetings, but I think in terms of quality, the best time will probably be… It hasn’t really started yet. Look, okay, let’s say half your business sells to eCommerce, but 20% sells to live events. Seed is just a totally different game, right? Jason Lemkin: Let’s just-.

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. And it really, it changed the game and people really embrace that, but we didn’t stop there.
