The Science of Scaling
03/26/25 • 31 min
Start the GTM section of your investor pitch deck with three words: Predictable, Scalable, Revenue. I don't know why it works so well. It seems so intuitive, but like every investor's like, "I love this guy! That's what I want."
Yeah, , we all want that, but the question is how do you get there?
So many startups get that wrong. They think it's a sales deck. They think it's a pitch deck. And in fact, that hurts the GTM system. So with the help of Ron Gabrisko (CRO, Databricks) we unpack how to build an effective sales playbook.

What if I told you to build the sales team that doesn't talk about price or packaging? That doesn't even do discovery or qualification on budget or authority on the first call?
You'd think I'm crazy.
Chris Merritt (Founding CRO, Cloudflare) built a sales team that's a peer to its very technical buyer, whose first and only objective is to answer the buyer's questions.
He actually looked at the company's blog as inspiration on the type of salespeople he would hire and the type of sales culture he will build.

Sales is Not Magic, It's Math w/ Loren Padelford (Founding CRO, Shopify)
The Science of Scaling
03/19/25 • 34 min
Index on impact, not work. Care about the impact people have, not the work they're doing. It's something too many sales leaders forget.
Loren Padelford, who transformed Shopify Plus from zero to $1 billion in revenue in just seven years, is proudly a non-traditional sales leader. He positioned Shopify Plus as "anti-enterprise," instead looking beyond the current Fortune 500; saying "we want to build the next one."
Loren also reflects on the personal toll that constant grind culture had on his personal life and relationships. Something I encourage every sales leader to hear and reflect on themselves.
