Tweetables:
“What I recognized early this year was that there isn’t a very practitioner-led event that brings all of the disciplines of sales together with all of the sales tech vendors and sales tech solutions.” (02:27)
“The only way an event works is if there’s value on both sides. I think, at the end of the day, it comes down to experience. And events are successful when you deliver that experience.” (05:10)
“I’m a pretty good salesperson, but you know who’s better than me? My best customer telling their story of working with us.” (10:46)
“I’m looking to create a track called ‘Founders and Funders,’ where we can bring together the sales tech entrepreneurs, the C-level executives, the VCs, the angels, and those that are investing in the space and create this dynamic where they can all network.” (13:42)
“We’re well north of $1.5 billion of new investment that has flowed into this space. Sales tech is hot right now. It is attracting massive dollars because the investors see this is the new frontier.” (16:08)
