The New Feature and Benefits Sales Training

Iannarino

To understand how to talk about your features and benefits, you must start by identifying the level of value the stakeholder needs from you.

Seasoned VPs Cost 10x a Stretch VP Now. Is It Worth It?

SaaStr

So That VP That Has Done it Before always cost more than the stretch VP. They ask for more salary, and a bigger team. As they should. But in the past few years, the gap has grown and grown. Recently I talked with a founder who had hired a seasoned VP of Marketing at $3m that had an 8 person content marketing team. Not an 8 person team at $3m ARR, but just 8 on content alone!
