The Power of Setting and Achieving Goals. New Year resolutions are nothing more than rhetoric. Despite the initial eagerness you may feel for the goals you have set, that enthusiasm tends to wane over time, often leaving you right back to where you started.

Helping your word spread to more decision makers. The best marketing emails are not meant to be read by one decision maker at one company. Viral marketing emails are meant to be read by the whole account. While you may cringe because the word viral reminds you of the Covid world we live in, the benefits of this email strategy far outweighs the non-existent disadvantages.

The sales effort is useless unless you are 100% behind an idea, product, or service. Hence, selling to yourself proceeds selling to clients. Anyone on a sales job has no doubt paused to question what they are to sell upon hearing a new announcement. Integrity is everything, as clientele seeks it out before committing. It’s easy to dismiss a new offering as not worthy of anyone’s time.

Q: Dear SaaStr: What Are The Top Things Consistently Missing from Series A Pitches? The biggest problem I find with Series A pitches is simply that they are still Series Seed pitche s. Your company, and time, have moved on. The pitch often hasn’t. It needs to. In other words, CEOs don’t update the pitch approach to align with what post $1m ARR investors want to see.

Data privacy is arguably the most pertinent topic in marketers’ minds these days. Whether it’s GDPR, CCPA, or upcoming U.S. federal privacy laws, brands know they may face legal jeopardy if any of these pieces are out of place. Yet it’s more than that — consumers are demanding privacy. “As consumers demand more transparency and new laws and regulations come into effect, brands must reconsider their data practices and think beyond legal compliance to stay in the game,” said Priscilla Debar, Acous

We know empathy is important in working with others, whether it’s our customers, our peers, or our people. If we can’t understand what they face in doing their jobs, what they care about, what their hopes, dreams, or fears, doubts might be, we can’t connect with them in meaningful ways. Too often, however, the concept of empathy is absent in our interactions.
