“I had the great pleasure to work on Wayne's team and eventually partner with him during multiple roles at AppDynamics. Wayne is a seasoned marketing executive, but what truly differentiates Wayne from others is his uncanny ability to deconstruct complex business challenges with ease and provide direction to executives and his teams. Wayne quickly established himself as a trusted advisor to our executive staff and Cisco's leadership team. In addition to re-building the Product Marketing function at AppDynamics, he also established best practices within and beyond the marketing organization that drove better alignment among Product, Marketing, and Sales to shift towards more customer-centric releases and campaigns. Above all, Wayne has been a great mentor. He is one of the smartest leaders I have had the opportunity to work with. I have greatly benefitted from every one of our interactions.”

2025 is the Year of GTM Signals. Henry Schuck, Founder & CEO of ZoomInfo, once open-sourced an Airtable of GTM plays that helped scale his company into a billion-dollar category leader. That resource lives on today as something more: The AI GTM Signals Library - the world’s largest collection of actionable buyer signals. 60 playbooks covering signals like: → Job changes → Funding rounds, IPO prep, and M&A → Tech adoption & hiring plans → Podcast mentions & earnings call themes → Post-sales signals like user expansion and at-risk customers Why it matters: Most teams buy data and spray and pray. The best teams act on signals. They intercept intent before the competition even sees it. This library highlights what is possible with ZoomInfo’s GTM Intelligence Platform, where real-time signals, AI, and automation come together to turn information into a true edge for revenue teams. 📊 Grab the Airtable for free here: https://lnkd.in/de3fkHV8 In 2025, whoever masters signals… masters revenue. #zoominfopartner

When quotas are hit, most leadership teams take that as proof their system works. But what if hitting quota is actually a red flag? In Varicent's 2025 SPM Market Spotlight, we surveyed over 1,400 revenue and operations leaders and uncovered a surprising contradiction: 90% of sellers say they expect to hit their quotas. But only 31% of sellers believe those quotas are realistic. Why does this gap matter? When teams consistently hit unrealistic quotas, it doesn’t mean the plan is working. It means something else is compensating. Often, that looks like a few top reps pulling most of the weight, rushed deals at quarter-end, or margin-eroding discounts. It’s not a sign of sustainable growth. It's a sign of friction. High-performing organizations approach quotas differently: ● They align targets with actual market opportunity, using territory data, account potential, and realistic benchmarks. ● They measure median attainment, not just the average, to see whether success is spread across the team or carried by a few. ● They monitor the ratio of activity to outcomes to make sure seller effort translates into sustainable pipeline and revenue. Real growth is not about whether the number is hit. It’s about how it’s hit. If you're using quota attainment as proof of strategic alignment, it might be time to take a closer look. Access the research here: https://hubs.ly/Q03sG4kD0 The 2025 SPM Market Spotlight unpacks how top-performing companies are redesigning quota models to drive scalable, equitable growth.

Most sales leaders talk about AI...almost none actually use it. Why do leaders keep telling reps to adopt AI without showing them how? On the latest SellMeThisPen Podcast, I sat down with Marcus Chan, LinkedIn Top Voice, 4x Salesforce Top Sales Influencer, WSJ bestselling author of Six-Figure Sales Secrets, and founder of Venli. This guy’s helped teams unlock $2M–$10M in hidden revenue by doing one thing differently: Leading from the front, not the ivory tower! "The best leaders don’t just say 'use AI' - they show their teams exactly how to do it." Marcus doesn’t just “recommend” ChatGPT. He pulls up call transcripts, runs a live prompt inside GPT, and shows the team step by step how to qualify deals, get rated 1–10, and surface missed gaps. Then he hands them the same prompt and watches the lights turn on. 1️⃣ Show, don’t delegate. You want your reps to use AI? Start by using it better than them. 2️⃣ Tear down friction. Give them the tools, the workflow, the exact copy-paste prompt. 3️⃣ Make it safe to learn. If you screw it up first, your team knows they can too. This is how real adoption starts. Not with another sales kickoff slide but with a leader in the trenches. In the full episode we cover: – The “ADVANCED” framework that beats MEDDIC – Where reps actually get stuck in pipeline (hint: stage zero) – Using AI to educate your champion – Prospecting playbooks for SDRs drowning in noise What’s your take, should sales leaders be the first to adopt AI or the last? P.S. Link to the full episode in the comments!
