Google has started its enforcement of the new site reputation abuse policy by deranking or deindexing portions of websites from the Google Search index. This seems to have launched in the past hour or so, where sites as large as CNN, USA Today, Fortune, and LA Times are seeing their coupon directories no longer ranking for coupon-related keyword phrases.

For more than a decade of my career, I held various demand generation titles at multiple companies, and the function has evolved greatly in that time. However, if you’ve been listening to the chatter on LinkedIn over the past two years, that evolution has gained speed and influence. What was once a lead generation and nurturing function has now been rebranded into a full go-to-market (GTM) approach, often owning most of the budget, especially in smaller tech companies.

So Emergence Capital put together a great report here on B2B startups, “Beyond Benchmarks 2024” , with a ton of great data across 664 software startups. One piece I loved is how 2023 growth rates compared to 2022 for Top Quartile Software Startups. Now to be clear, and I know this is a bit brutal — “Top Quartile” isn’t in general enough to get funded by VCs.

I live in Texas, where the highway speed limits are more like minimums than maximums. Our interstates could pass for the Indianapolis 500 (AKA the “Idiot 500” here in Dallas). I contribute to this fast-moving culture because if you obey the law, you’ll get run over. The other day, I was cruising down the highway at traffic speed (at least 20 MPH over the posted limit), and I got pulled over.

Quotas need to be hit. Revenue goals need to be met. This reality makes shortening sales onboarding time a top priority. Organizations with a standard onboarding process boost employee retention by 58% and increase productivity by 50%. Unfortunately, many companies struggle with inefficient processes that lead to high turnover and missed revenue opportunities.

So there are times in startup life when it seems like a wave is just overpowering you, that there is only so much you can do. And so many times, you may quietly feel limited by the team you have. There’s only so much you can do, just so quickly. So many times you’ll default, partially, to Doing Nothing. For now. This works better at Bigger Companies, where real change is often measured in 5+ year chunks.

It’s important that everyone is clear on the definition of customer experience. There are so many incorrect uses of the term and misconceptions about the concept itself that create confusion and dilutes the work that needs to be done. What is customer experience (CX)? Customer experience is the sum of all the interactions that a customer has with a brand over the life of the relationship with that brand.

Dear SaaStr: What Are Some Early Red Flags That Your SaaS Solution Doesn’t Have Real Product-Market Fit? The biggest red flag I’ve found is when the “insertion point” you think is 10x+ better than the competition … doesn’t end up being something customers highly value once you launch it. Sometimes the 1.0 is cool, oftentimes it is clever, but many times it just isn’t quite the innovation customers are willing to pay for.

Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
