When a great SaaS business starts to come together, and crosses Initial Traction ($1-$1.5m), growing nicely (8-10%+ Month-over-Month Growth) … often times, the founders start to see the first bit of real economic returns on the model. It finally starts to make sense, this SaaS stuff. As you cross $2.5m, $3m in ARR, you can start to see a path to real cash flow and financial independence, even though you aren’t there quite yet.

We are facing a crisis in sales retention. Average tenure for sales people and managers has plummeted to 16.5 months. As I speak to sales executives and managers about the reasons for the increasing voluntary turnover, too often, they respond, “It’s all about compensation! Sales people are coin operated, if they have the opportunity to make more money some place else, they will go after that opportunity.” But the data shows a completely different picture.

Questions are an excellent way to win sales – because when asked correctly, they achieve three distinct outcomes for you. First of all – they identify if the potential client is qualified or not for your offer. By qualified, I mean can they afford your offer, fit into one of your buyer personas , and benefit from your offer. Secondly, when asking effective questions (like the questions to ask a prospective client you’ll learn here), you open up and understand what really it is that they’re wanti

Sales is the most important function with any company, and the sales manager plays a critical role within it. That said… The importance of your sales manager cannot be understated. The sales force drives the company’s revenue and it’s the sales manager’s job to drive the sales force. If your sales manager does not perform, you won’t generate cash — which you MUST do to survive!

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.

A few years ago, our developers rolled out Angular on a few key web pages—without consulting the web analytics team. The pageviews on some of the pages suddenly dropped to almost nothing. I bought two books on Angular to try to find a solution. Meanwhile, my manager stumbled on an alternative syntax for tracking pageviews in Adobe Analytics. As we found out, a similar alternative syntax also exists to track clicks (and anything else).

Mark Zuckerberg once said, "Move fast and break things. Unless you're breaking stuff, you're not moving fast enough.". However, that tendency in startups can lead to burned-out sales reps and a business ill-prepared to scale. That's why the goal shouldn't be to grow fast but to grow better. So when you experience slow business, remember that slow and steady wins the race.

The first time a sales manager made this statement to me, in frustration, was about 20 years ago. Since then, it’s become the common complaint I hear from managers (If I had a nickel for every time…… ). It’s what happens next that explains a large part of the problem, I always ask, “Let’s sign onto your CRM system and take a look at what’s going on… ” You can probably guess what happens.
