Most founders build their go-to-market strategy around the next customer, not the company that will one day acquire them. Host Midori Verity, Founder & CEO of FireCoach, sits down with Richard Terry-Lloyd, Chief Revenue Officer at Netlify and an early Salesforce rep when it had about 50 employees, to unpack the SaaS sales lessons that cut churn, helped Salesforce move upmarket, and still hold up in today's AI-driven market.
In this episode of Revenue Rearview, you'll learn:
- How switching from monthly contracts to annual contracts paid monthly reduced churn at Salesforce and surfaced the real economic buyer, at no extra cost to customers
- How to use inbound leads as a map for outbound prospecting and move upmarket with lookalike accounts
- Why your exit strategy should shape your go-to-market strategy today: know your number, your timeline, your acquirer, and your moat
