Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a trite saying, but “The only constant in life is change……” Let me go through a few more just to get them off my chest: Be the change you want to see in the world… Nothing changes if nothing changes… Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end… Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine… Thanks for your patience, I need to get those out of my system.

Back in 2017, I wrote an article for MarTech, “ Message to email marketers: Show me something different in 2018.” It popped up again while I was preparing a presentation, so I scrolled through to see if anything I advocated back then had become standard practice. The answer is, sadly, not much. Here’s what I was looking for: Stop depending on batch-and-blast.

If you want to win more deals, especially contested deals, you will need to be One-Up. Being One-Up means you have knowledge and experience your contact lacks. When you are One-Up, you can take advantage of this information disparity, allowing you to create value for your contacts in the sales conversation. This is often the variable that determines whether you win or lose a deal.

Andy Paul called my attention to a discussion in LinkedIn. It was, yet another, discussion on “sales math.” This one reported on research on win rates. It reported win rates declining from 2022 to 2024 from 23% to 19%, with win rates for deals with ACV over $100K declining from 18% to 16%. The data, by itself, is stunning. But the conversation related to the post was even more shocking, from too many perspectives.

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.

While typically lucrative, running a vacation rental business can be hectic, especially when you have properties in different locations. Unfortunately, vacation rentals aren’t scalable in the way manufacturing businesses are, where the relative effort to accomplish an activity tends to decrease with expansion. Owning more properties always means more houses to clean as well as more social media and online travel agency (OTA) listings to update.

It’s one of the oldest debates in lead generation: quantity vs. quality. Marketers who are judged by the number of leads they generate will push for quantity. But big-ticket purchases in B2C and B2B will help marketers see ROI with a small number of wins, which pushes some marketers toward quality. Even with new channels and new tactics entering the fray on a regular basis, the debate around how to do lead gen rages on, including on social media channels.

Dear SaaStr: What Do You Do When Your Startup is Not Growing Anymore? First, be honest about why. You can blame it on macro issues if you want, but if growth has radically decelerated, it’s likely because you are less competitive than you were before. You probably have fallen out of product-market fit, partially or entirely. Be honest. And go close those feature gaps, and get back to being ahead of the competition — not behind.
