Key Highlights:

4:30 – 5:36Buying Groups – Regarding buying groups, these represent accounts for a collective group of individuals who each have their own goals. It’s a collective decision, but it’s based on different motivations, and you need to speak to each of those when you work with an account.

5:54 – 7:34Enabling Speed of Growth – The number one thing is talent density. You need to hire and build a group of good people. But most important is commercial alignment across marketing/sales/CS teams, starting at the top, with a clear definition of what it means to win to create a collaborative environment. If each team has its own definition of success, they’ll each work towards a different goal. Everyone should win together and lose together.

7:34 – 9:25What Metrics Should the Leadership Team Focus On – Revenue is a centric piece of the puzzle, but understanding what makes successful and happy customers and being able to replicate that is crucial. So many SaaS companies have a land-and-expand approach, so customer success is critical. If you look at the overall puzzle of what a successful customer journey looks like, each commercial segment needs to own its part, but those parts need to be aligned into the bigger picture.

13:52 – 12:38Operational Support– The new market is an opportunity for RevOps to shine. Efficiency is a big part of a company’s success. So helping them understand the where, the who, the when, and the how is critical. Also, iteration and testing are significant parts of growing a company.

15:12 – 16:09Measuring the Impact – As buying behaviors change, we should move to an influence over an attribution model. There are so many influencing factors, and building an influence-based model is very important.
