As you may know, I am not shy about sharing how much Salesforce sucks. And, since ranting loves company, I was delighted in April when I found out that a major technology research company agrees with my opinion of this (former?) leader in the CRM space.

So we took a look at Toast just after it IPO’d. Times were good then, and Toast was worth $24B. Fast forward to today. and there’s not much to criticize Toast for. They dominate a large market, and are growing almost 60% at $800m in ARR! And yet, the markets are tough today, and Toast is now worth less than $10 Billion, despite executing admirably.

When designing a website or app, most companies focus on making it visually appealing and adding lots of cool, fancy features. That makes perfect sense if we bear in mind that research studies have shown that 94% of first impressions are design-related. In other words, visitors form an opinion about website credibility based on its aesthetic. But, all this is in vain if your design is not aligned with users’ needs.

Dear SaaStr: Why do big companies buy small companies instead of competing? Well, first of all, they often do both. They often start of competing, at least a bit. Salesforce paid $27 Billion for Slack. But that came years after they spent tens of millions on “Chatter”, a failed collaboration tool. Facebook competed with Instagram before it bought it.

Nearly all (86%) B2B buyers want to be sold to virtually, according to a new survey. However, most salespeople say their sales organizations aren’t yet able to handle this.

Every act of giving has the potential to change someone’s life. Whether it’s time, money, or resources, it takes little to have a big impact. I know, it’s hard to look at your heaping to-do list and add “give back today” to the pile. As sellers, we’re all long on tasks and short on time. But the benefits from supporting a charitable cause can be huge.

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.

When software startups are in their early stages, most rely on their ARR as their primary indicator of success. However, according to Eléonore Crespo, co-founder of Pigment, it’s not all about ARR. Founders should give an adequate amount of focus to picking their first customers and building their network. What’s more promising than a positive ARR is a trustworthy product with a significant amount of credibility.

Some years ago, I was responsible for leading sales/marketing for IBM’s manufacturing sector. Those were the years when we were introducing software solutions, not just selling naked hardware. We had invested in developing relationships with key suppliers of engineering design tools, ERP, process control systems, and others. We went to market with a solutions focus, helping manufacturers solve their toughest design and production problems.

In my past life I was a pre-sales engineer and the resident subject matter expert or SME before it was called that. I was one of those rare birds that could sell and build solutions. I could be “salesy” if needed or as technical as it gets. I also, as a left and right brainier, could ascertain some of the trending marketing directions easily to become instrumental in helping the sales team focus their efforts accordingly.
