So the other day Colin Cadmus, who was VP of Sales at Aircall, summarized a career question I’ve thought about many times over the past 10+ years. If you are a great AE, a great sales exec … I know you might want “more” … but is it really better to be a VP of Sales? I’ve met with so many ambitious AEs over the years who wanted to make the jump straight to VP or “Head of” Sales.

Long ago but close by, the leadership style was to have an arrogant leader in charge demanding how work is to be. Worse was the inherent need to accept new ideas on approaching prospects and clients on a perceived better footing, but the idea was scorned. But the worst scenario was the lack of willingness to listen to someone who wasn’t a white male.

Dear SaaStr: What’s a Good Benchmark for B2B Sales Cycles? To overgeneralize, but to give you a pretty rough sense: Sales cycles are very much impacted by the intent of the prospect. Intent varies from High Probability / Intent Opportunities (“I Need to Buy Now” — this exploded during the pandemic) to Very Low Intent and Probability, and this is important to factor in, especially during the earlier days when you’re not as strong as lead scoring and lead management.

We need to develop a deeper understanding of the value creation/realization process. Too many sellers tend to think about value creation as something sellers create “for” customers. Sellers focus on the value customers receive in the implementation of their solution, or “value realization.” Sellers focus, often using sophisticated analytic tools, on the return customers would get in implementation.
