Focus on your habits. 💪 Small gains = big wins over time. Especially in customer success. CS is critical right now. Not convinced? Listen to Marilee Bear, Chief Revenue Officer at Gainsight: Around 40% of SaaS revenue now comes from expansion. And CS teams are in the best position to identify and influence those opportunities. Think about that for a second... Nearly half your revenue comes from customers you already have. THAT is the power of great CS. According to our 2025 State of Customer Success Report, 67.3% of CS teams now track expansion revenue as a core KPI. That number was 52.1% just two years ago btw. The companies investing in their CS motion are seeing it pay off. Teams with structured daily habits report 34% higher net revenue retention compared to reactive CS orgs. Friendly reminder: Your CS team already has access to the customers. They know the pain points. They see the use cases. They understand where value lives. Make sure you INVEST in your CS team. CS is just as important as sales and marketing. Thx for coming to our TED talk ✌️ P.S. Agree? Repost to share

“Our average rep hits 50% of quota.” Oof. That's not a rep problem. It's a process problem. If your SaaS sales team's performance is consistently unpredictable, you’re missing real gaps in your ops. Reps manually scoring leads in outdated CRMs. No automation for routing or segmentation. Etc. AI can help, but before you add it to the mix, you need to define 4 things for every sales process: ⭕ Who is responsible for the process  ⭕ What tools are used to execute, track, and facilitate the process ⭕ The value the process brings to the organization  ⭕ The cost of the process Analyze these details and you can to identify gaps that AI can help close. Performance doesn’t break at the report. It breaks in the workflow. Fix the gaps first. Then AI can do what it’s supposed to: make the system even smarter. ➕ Follow for more insights on using AI in your SaaS ops.

When your sales org is a well oiled machine, it performs like a flywheel. Leadership guides. Enablement equips. AI scales. Each one builds on the other, creating momentum across the revenue org. Deals move quicker and new targets flow into the pipeline. But, take one piece out and your flywheel stops spinning. Without strong leadership, enablement has no direction. Without enablement, AI scales the wrong things. Without AI, you’re relying on brute force instead of efficiency. High-performing revenue teams are built by connecting leadership, enablement and AI so each makes the other stronger. This is how we build high-performing revenue teams. If your flywheel isn’t spinning, let’s fix it. #SalesLeadership #SalesEnablement #RevenueAI #B2BSales

Most AEs spend their days reacting.   To leads. To timing. To whatever hits their inbox next.  But top performers don’t just react — they *engineer control.*  They protect their time.   They prepare with intent.   They measure what matters.   And they stay on the line.  Sales Caddy gives you the guardrails to make that discipline repeatable — prompts that drive action, data that reinforces habits, and clarity that compounds.  Because revenue doesn’t reward effort.   It rewards control.  #sales #b2b #revenue #salesleadership #ai #salescaddy #revops #salesprocess #salesperformance #accountexecutive

How do you really know when you’ve found product-market fit? In the Science of Scaling framework, product-market fit boils down to defining and targeting leading indicators of retention for your business. In this clip from the Science of Scaling podcast, Founder and CEO Henry Schuck shares how ZoomInfo knew they had found product-market fit. Not through a perfect model, but by watching one thing closely: repeatable demand. After launch, the signals were clear. The same inputs kept producing the same outputs, year after year. Demand scaled, and revenue followed. And the system held—well past $50M. Want a deep dive into the stories and data behind the Science of Scaling methodology — in print or eBook form?

Almost every sales org has the same problem. Their process is built around what’s CONVENIENT for the SELLER. Stages, gates, activities. A pipeline that tells you where your rep thinks the deal is, not where the buyer actually is. Buyers don't move in neat, linear stages. They loop back, go dark, and bring in three new stakeholders at the last second. They make decisions in hallways and Slack threads you'll never see. That gap between your sales process and the buyer’s journey, is where deals die. Stop asking “What stage is this deal in?” And start asking “Where is the buyer in their decision?” It sounds subtle, but it isn't.

Dialler Infrastructure, Compliance & SDR Efficiency — Field Notes from a Recent Roundtable As pressure builds to do more with less, revenue teams are re-examining the dials behind the dial: what tools actually connect, what workflows scale, and what practices stand up to scrutiny across global markets. An independent session this week brought together GTM leaders and RevOps to compare experiences. Key signals below — zero hype. Infrastructure > InterfaceMost diallers rely on third-party carriers (Twilio, Bandwidth, etc.). That means performance is often a black box — with up to 9 carrier-level hops before a call connects or fails. Ask your vendor: • Who controls your carrier infrastructure? • Do you monitor and manage spam flagging? • How much of the stack is built vs. borrowed? Sentiment: ConnectAndSell vs. Parallel DiallersIn regulated markets — think DACH, Southern Europe, and parts of APAC — ConnectAndSell stands apart. Human-assisted outreach avoids early recording, navigates switchboards, and clears legal reviews (including German works councils and corporate counsel sign-off). It’s not built for volume blitzing. But it is built for trust and precision. By contrast, US-style parallel diallers (Nooks, Orum) perform well in North America. Outside that, success is patchy — particularly where recording or line spoofing laws require careful handling. Call Behaviour Still Matters • Office lines are making a comeback. Teams training SDRs to navigate reception outperform those relying on scraped mobiles. • Persistence wins. Most meetings are set on the 2nd, 3rd or even 7th attempt. One-and-done is a mindset issue, not a strategy. Common SDR Time-Wasters • ‘Admin’ that’s really last-mile enrichment • Tool fatigue and constant context switching • Overthinking messaging mid-sequence Solutions: Pre-enrichment, tighter call blocks, cleaner workflows. Compliance as a Competitive Advantage Navigating regulated markets isn’t just about avoiding penalties — it’s about gaining access. • Human-led calling = better deliverability + legal clarity • Early recording and heavy automation = red flags in some jurisdictions • Local trust matters — especially in multi-region GTM Final Word: Don’t be distracted by dashboards. Focus on infrastructure, behaviour, and legal fit. Velocity is great — until it trips compliance. Sometimes the best strategy is to slow down just enough to land the call and keep the door open. — If your dialler strategy needs pressure-testing — or you’re balancing multiple regions with mixed results — happy to compare notes.

One of the biggest myths in GTM: “If it works for Sales comp, it’ll work for Customer Success.” Not anymore. Thought leaders across RevOps are now asking a better question: What behaviors strengthen customer loyalty, adoption, and lifetime value—and how should we design compensation around them? In this article, we explore the emerging best practice, which uses ✔️ NRR as the north star ✔️ GRR as the stability metric ✔️ LTV as the strategic outcome ✔️ Simplicity as the trust-builder At Fullcast, we believe the future of CS compensation is not about paying more. It’s about paying smarter, in a way that reinforces a durable, recurring revenue model. Here’s why: https://lnkd.in/gSSrDCXG Fullcast Ebsta (now part of Fullcast) #plantopay #revops #gotomarket John Nelson Jelena Trickovic Roxana Arias Maureen McGinness Whitney Drazovich Celine Grey Alyssa Suchy Jake B.
