Gartner has its latest Cloud report out , and while one can always pick at any report, it’s at least a well-resourced and reasoned source on the size of SaaS and the Cloud. The big learnings for SaaS founders and execs: Cloud overall will grow 17% next year to $266 Billion. That’s a lot of growth, and it means we’re solidly in the mainstream phase but not the mature phase.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

Cart abandonment is a huge issue in ecommerce. So cart abandonment emails are often a top revenue generator. And discounts and offers within those emails are proven tactics for increasing conversions. All standard wisdom. But we wanted to see how ecommerce brands deployed their offers. Are “best practices” for offers prevailing? Which strategies are brands using—or neglecting?

Let's talk about social media metrics. When counting engagement, there are two terms you should know: reach and impressions. Reach is used to define who sees content. It's the total number of people who see a tweet you make, an Instagram story you post, or a Facebook event page. Let's say you have an ad that was displayed 500 times on social media pages.

Q: What is the proper way to do due diligence on a VC firm? Here are the things IMHO and IME that are most important. First, if you want to do it right, you should diligence both (1) the firm and (2) the individual partner leading the deal. Importantly, these days, more and more established firms aren’t able, or choose not to, raise another fund. And these days, more and more partners with “hot hands” leave and start their own firms.

"Sell me this pen." That might just be the best sales one-liner in history. It's a favorite for sales professionals from used car salespeople to Wall Street wolves. And for good reason -- it's an exciting, accessible way to test a salesperson's fundamentals. How someone responds to those four words can tell you a lot about how -- and how well -- a candidate is going to sell.

There’s a big problem in B2B sales right now. The sales cycle for nearly half of all B2B sales is at least 7 months. The average tenure of a sales rep in 2018 is 18 months. So, what’s the problem? Because it takes time to get a new rep up to speed, the actual productive time you gain from those 18 months is far less. In fact, it’s often less than the average 7-month sales cycle.

The period from Thanksgiving to New Year’s can be a tough time in B2B sales. You still have goals and quotas, but instead of workplaces abuzz with activity, you encounter tapped-out annual budgets, vacationing decision-makers, and an overall atmosphere of wanting to take time off. The holiday season is huge for retailers, representing up to 30 percent of annual sales, but sales departments in B2B tend not to expect much from this time of year.

Q: What does a lead investor do? A lead investor : Is expected to lead any bridge round. This is super important. If the company does OK but Not Great, the investors will often be willing to do a bridge round (i.e., a smaller, second, all-inside round). But the lead investor has to … lead it. If they don’t do their pro rata or more, a bridge is really tough.

But he hasn’t done that, and continues to blindly send emails to me, provoking a conversation. The first two emails were product pitches.

Who should go first in a negotiation when it comes to offering a price, solution, and agreement to key terms? Do you ask for a budget and then craft what you do from there? Or do you, once you know what the needs and major parameters might be, suggest a solution and a price before talking about budget? It’s a common question, one that continues to baffle many sellers.
