20 top sales_leaders_reveal_their_biggest_productivity_secretsMiguel Spencer
This document summarizes insights from 20 top sales leaders on important shifts in sales strategies, technologies, and processes. Key points include:
- Sales professionals must adapt to changing buyer behaviors and implement fact-based research and briefings rather than just value propositions.
- Cross-functional collaboration, understanding how revenue flows through organizations, and focusing on long-term customer sustainability are important.
- Specializing sales roles into prospectors, market response reps, closers, and account managers can dramatically improve pipeline and scale.
- Qualifying sales prospects thoroughly and providing sales enablement infrastructure helps reps focus on closing deals.

It emphasizes building depth in leadership and operational teams and taking a "franchise-model" mindset. The GTMF system should be optimized for speed and deliver a whole product solution. Key components include recruiting top talent, refining marketing, sales, product development and customer success based on metrics as the company doubles in size, and establishing a winning culture.

B2B SaaS Revenue Growth: How to Accelerate Sales VelocityNemanja Zivkovic
Learn how to accelerate sales velocity and close more deals faster. This webinar covers the definition of sales velocity, factors that affect it, as well as tips on what you can do right now to increase your own company’s revenue growth.
A startup. SMB. A long-standing corporation. It doesn’t matter. You got sales objectives you gotta meet and the majority of sales goals include more deals closed in a shorter time frame. This is also known as sales velocity.
But how can we accelerate sales velocity? And how can we define it first?
Sales velocity is a sales metric. It explains the amount of revenue you can probably close on a particular day. In essence, the higher your sales velocity, the quicker your business growth.
Webinar covers three reasons why Sales Velocity is your key metric, five key reasons why your Sales Pipeline is slow, 11 different strategies for improving the Revenue Growth, and nine Closing Tactics to improve Sales Velocity.

This document provides advice for companies in their early stages (0-5M revenue). It recommends:
1. Clearly defining the target market through segmentation to improve marketing and sales alignment.
2. Resisting quick wins and distractions to stay focused on one target market and go-to-market strategy.
3. Starting outbound sales efforts sooner through proactively contacting potential customers, rather than solely relying on inbound leads.
The document discusses how TravelPerk applied this advice when focusing exclusively on the European market in its early stages, rather than being distracted by the larger US market, helping it become a leader in the European market.

Creating Actionable Product Strategy by Turo Director of ProductProduct School
Main Takeaways:
- Measure what matters – Establishing the right metrics and KPIs early on can provide tremendous clarity. Driving towards the wrong goals can result in team misalignment, at best, and a failed product strategy, at worst.
- Distinguish the highest impact ideas from the good ideas
- Most companies have lots of good ideas. PMs must separate the great from the good, and craft product strategies that yield the highest impact outcomes for their customers and business.
Iterate, based on customer feedback & data – Great product strategies should evolve over time, with the ongoing incorporation of customer feedback, data, and stakeholder input. Strategies developed in a vacuum are unlikely to succeed, as are strategies that fail to evolve with the changing needs of customers.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

I am going to change the world with my idea. Its going
to revolutionize XYZ.
First, I am going to quit my job, then raise money, then
build my team and product and then sell to customers.
Then exit for $10bn!

First, we are going to identify our customers, test our

13. 1. If nobody’s buying your product, it’s because the
gap between price and perceived value either
doesn’t exist or it’s not large enough
2. Price can serve as a proxy for quality
3. Coming up with packages that appeal to different
customers will be more profitable for you and allow
customers to feel better about their relationship
with your company
4. Figuring out what goes through a customer’s mind
when she first sees your product can help you set a
price.
5. Your price needs to stand up to scrutiny
6. People tend to overvalue things they already have,
a pattern known as the endowment effect. This is
something that enterprise companies should be
particularly aware of

business. Good models can be used for strategic planning by taking management assumptions and

revenue based on KPI assumptions
such as:
• How long is sales cycle?
• What is the close rate (by sales
person)?
• How do we add new clients to the
pipeline?
• What is the value of each sale?
• How often do customers return?
• Cost per acquisition
Once you have a sales forecast met,
start to think about how many
people you need:
• How many developers are needed
to finish phase x? phase y? phase z?
• How many deals can each sales
person close? Does it scale?
• What is needed for support?
Logistics?
What do you need to support
your headcount and sales
efforts?
• Rent space sqft by employee
• Warehouse space needed
• Software subscriptions
• Marketing needed to support
sales
• Consultants
