I spoke at DreamForce 16 this year. My presentation was about coaching. You can watch it here. The key quote from the presentation was this; “Nobody Brags About Developing Somebody” When I said it on stage, it was a powerful observation. I didn’t build it into my presentation. It just came to me as I was speaking. It’s been retweeted several times since, so it clearly affected others as well.

Career pathing is something I seldom hear sales executives and leaders talk about (unless it’s their own). Part of it is driven by our focus on the here and now. We’re worried about today’s, this month’s, this quarter’s, this year’s numbers. We don’t think about our people and their aspirations and dreams of growth.

The night before the 2016 Presidential election, Gary Vaynerchuk, business mogul, investor, author, and top keynote speaker gave a keynote at INBOUND. It was a coincidence that INBOUND, a large annual marketing conference - started on election day this year. By the time the keynote began at 6PM, voting had been going on all day. The stress level was high – so many people "knowing" their candidate would win and getting ready for a celebration later.

Content marketing has seen a lot of changes over the past few years, in particular around the way that marketers have went about actually developing their content. A lot of this has come down to the rapidly evolving search engine landscape, as well as a huge shift in the way that people are discovering content. All that said, I still hear the same pain points coming from content producers that I did over five years ago: "I struggle to measure the ROI of the content I create.".

A position relatively new to the modern sales family, the sales operations role is a crucial data bridge across the entire company, but what is it about data that drives almost 100% of their focus?
