(SalesOps perspective) Any decent size, scaled sales operation would want the enrichment data in their CRM, actually "burned into" the lead record, and then just displayed in Slack with a link back to their CRM. We use a combo of

I get persuasive writing, but calling "Slack: King of the Enterprise Tools" because it went from 0% in 2014 to 1.2% in 2016 is absolutely an over statement. Apples-to-apples on the chart? I'd bet a Tubman that 70%+ of the rea

The joke of this piece of content marketing is SalesForce, as a CRM, specifically does NOT gracefully handle reoccurring revenue in its product. So, if you want to run a SaaS business w/ SFDC, be prepared to jump through constant hoops

Here's a plan B based on several experiences with enterprise SaaS: Start with something that isn't awful. Get it up early. A/B test that crap out of out. Keep it simple -- Only have one unit of measure (UoM) or feature differ
