What Your Audience Could Learn
Sales Training Is Broken: How Hubspot, Gong & Outreach approach sales education

Traditional sales training doesn’t take into account the complexity of the modern GTM stack. Every year, sales is becoming more complex and one “sales trainer” simply can’t be an expert on nuances of being an AE, SDR, or other revenue roles. Yet, many companies fall into the trap of hiring “an expert”, thinking that it will yield significant results.

On your podcast, Paul can introduce a new way of approaching training on a continuous basis. And can share how revenue leaders at B2B SaaS companies like Hubspot, Gong, Cognism and Outreach approach sales education differently, making it an integral part of their GTM stack.

This isn’t just theory, Paul has generated over $500M in company value and contributed to Aaron Ross’s infamous book, Impossible To Inevitable and has the scars to prove it.

How leading B2B companies are structuring their GTM teams

Scaling a company fast is extremely stressful. CEOs / founders have to make the right decisions about their cap tables, product, positioning, people and much more. A mistake that is consistently made in these high pressure, high stakes situations is simply throwing bodies at sales targets and hoping that it works. The TL;DR is that this simply doesn’t work.

Having scaled two B2B technology companies from $0 to $70M in combined sales, Paul was able to avoid this mistake by setting up the right team structure from (almost) the beginning.

Paul can share how the modern GTM team structure should look like. From hiring the right roles and people at the right time to how it should all be glued together by a sophisticated RevOps team.

Lessons learned from 1000 SaaS companies

Not a week goes by without news of a tech company raising a colossal amount of Series B, C, D, E round of funding or ringing the bell as they go public. What these companies all have in common is that they’ve nailed their GTM strategy and ridden the wave of current technology trends. Over the last three years, Paul has met with over 1000 fast growth B2B technology companies through his work, as has unique insight into what’s happening on the ground today.

On your podcast, Paul can share the different trends that he sees in the market today and how these are likely to evolve in the future. From the rise of Product Led Growth (PLG), the effective utilization of sophisticated tech stacks to the orchestration of Revenue Operations underpinning these rapid GTM strategies.

He can also share common mistakes SaaS companies make as well as the typical characteristics of success.
