I held off for 6+ years and 3000+ Quora answers on writing a post on Board Meetings. Why? Because every investor in the world writes lengthy posts on How to Have a Great Board Meeting. How to Have a Great Pre-Board Meeting. How to Have a Great Board Meeting Week. Etc. etc. etc. etc. VCs, once they have been doing it a while, basically become professional Board Members, and they write a lot about that.

Guest post by Caroline Tien-Spalding CMO at Aptology. As of this writing, there are over 211,000 jobs on Indeed in the category of “product marketing.” On the flip side, there are only 19,000 jobs under the “demand generation” category. How can it be that the need for marketing a product can be so much higher than pipeline creation and lead gen? .

By Payal Parikh , Director of Client Engagement at Heinz Marketing. With technological advances we’ve seen over the last two decades on data visualization and integrating data from various sources, there are still gaps in how we process that data, how we present it, and how we tell the story behind it. In my early career days I had been guilty of presenting all the data I could find into ‘pretty’ charts and would scroll through my slides in a room full of executives.

Recently, I was on a road trip. I knew where I needed to end up and what time I had to be there. Before leaving, I looked at Google Maps, got a rough idea of how to go and how much time I should allow. I sent the destination to my car, so the nav system could guide me on the best route. I was a little worried, I saw there was some construction, and the weather report said there might be snow over the mountains.

While these are both excellent traits for salespeople to have, there’s a lot more to it if you want to succeed in sales. If I had someone tell me this when I started my career in sales, I would have avoided a lot of unnecessary stress and self-doubt.

Q: Does the wise advice to always say no to sponsored features would also apply to a SaaS startup selling to mid-market (ACV 20k to 50k+) and has yet only 2 clients? No. This is not wise advice, it is bad advice in many cases. As long as the deal size is big enough. If a potential deal, is > $20k-$50k-$100k+ in the early days, you should consider one-off features if: the paid feature would also benefit other similar customers , now or in the future; the feature is or should be on your roadm

The relationship sale is on its way out. I know this sounds like blasphemy, but hear me out before you start throwing sarcastic memes my way. All I mean is: the way people buy has changed drastically. In the past, strong relationships were the main way to get in front of a prospect and close a deal. Now, data, media, and technology allow us to get in front of prospects and convince them that a complete stranger has a better solution than their incumbent partner.
