My client in Cincinnati stopped me from turning on my laptop. I was preparing to share my company’s slide deck, but before I could start, he told me to put it away. He had a list of questions for me. He also mentioned that getting the questions right would end up with him signing my contract. With that, I was forced into the world of conversational sales.

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.

So the funding platforms, law firms and data sources that track venture all use slightly different data sets, and come to slightly different conclusions. But they all align on one thing: venture investments post-seed stage are way down. How down? The latest CB Insights data I thought summarized it the most elegantly: Deals were down to a 5+ year low , not just lower than the go-go days of late 2020 to late 2021, but down from every single quarter in 2019 and 2018, too.

The modern-day consumers are buying differently. It doesn’t matter whether you have an online business or an offline enterprise. Most people will now do their research online about a business, product, or service before purchasing. Business reviews refers to what the consumers are saying. Take for instance a hotel. Before booking, many would visit TripAdvisor to check out the number of reviews for the hotel and find out what they are saying.

It has never been easy to lead a sales force, but it is increasingly difficult today. The idea that sales is broken is a way to describe the slow reaction of sales organizations who don’t recognize how buyers have changed. Those who still practice a traditional sales approach lose opportunities that require a modern sales approach.

My feeds are filled with new technologies, new selling models, new engagement strategies, new organizational structures. We have a fascination with exploring the latest, greatest tricks we can leverage.

So this survey and data won’t surprise very many, but I wanted to do it anyway to get the latest data back from the SaaStr community. The learning: your SDRs average tenure is about 14 months, and perhaps most importantly, 52% of you don’t see your SDRs last even 12 months. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise. SDR is an entry level role in most sales orgs, and many SDRs want to be promoted within 12-16 months, or look to move on to where they can get an AE role.

For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible.

A good sales manager drives their company’s success by leading their sales team and leading growth. Success is scarce in a period of strong obstacles. One problem in today’s current environment is that buyers are shunning salespeople and attempting to research their own way to success, a process that often leads to buyer’s remorse. The second difficulty is the high level of uncertainty and unpredictability in the business world.
