I try to avoid raw pitches at all at this point. Send me the deck ahead of time, with as much detail as possible. I promise to read it carefully, and have questions. Still, the pitch is part of most processes. Here’s what I love, that I don’t see enough. That make a good pitch and deck … great. A one-slide deck.

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.

Q: Can the majority of a SaaS company’s revenues come from existing customers? Yes, especially once you are at scale. In fact, as you get bigger, it gets pretty common with bigger deals and in the enterprise. Let’s take some examples: #1. 73% of Salesforce’s new bookings come from its existing customers. A bit more here. #2. UiPath is at $600m ARR now growing 65% a year … and 75% of its new revenue / bookings are from existing customers.

If you’ve worked at a B2B company that uses an ABM strategy for their Go To Market and has an SDR team you have inevitably run into the problem of lead attribution. In B2C or e-commerce these problems exist, too. Was it the Facebook ad that helped us drive the sale? Or was it the blog, or the TV ad? What’s the impact of each? It’s hard to know.

I told him I didn’t know the company that well, but from what I’d seen, some things might seem appealing. I bet the freemium metrics appeared good, with positive growth and solid conversion rates.

We all say this, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.” I don’t know how many times I’ve used that expression. I was reminded of it reading an article the other day.

A few thoughts if you haven’t raised venture capital before: 1. Remember you have to prove yourself, still. Yes, you got the $$$, and they really can’t get it back, and probably they can’t fire you if they don’t control the board. But remember your VCs barely know you, and they just wrote a big check (for them) most likely. You still have to prove yourself as (x) a great visionary, (y) someone able to recruit and retain a great team, and (z) a careful custodian of the investors

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Success in sales is a combination of the quantity of calls you make, and the effectiveness of each call. The reason we hire more reps is because we want to get a higher quantity of calls. The reason we train with coaches is because we want to get better quality of calls. Surprisingly, although sales people have more time now to do more calls, the quantity of calls has gone down.

There’s an exercise I’ve quietly done for about 6 months. Every time I talk to a top CEO, founder or VC over a Zoom catch-up, I first ask them, “How are you doing, 1-10? Overall?” They aren’t used to the question, but after pausing, most have done pretty well during Covid. It’s not that anyone wanted a pandemic, or the disruption.
