Slow Down to go Fast (and Win!)

A day in the life of a Sales Enablement leader is hectic. There is always: a task to complete, content to review, a conversation to be had, or a fire to put out. The best leaders – the ones who win – know when to hit the brakes, reevaluate, and position for success. Professional marathon runners know how important it is to slow down at the right moment; The break is more important than the accelerator. If you pace correctly, you'll have an advantage. The practice of resting at the right moment is how professional marathoners win. The same applies in business: Slow down at the right moment to accelerate faster than the competition, and win.

CRO Perspectives on the Future of Revenue Generation

The Post Pandemic and Recession have shifted the focus on Revenue Acceleration and Revenue Operations for B2B Businesses. The rise in RevOps and Revenue Engine strategies is resulting in a seismic shift in the way Revenue Leaders view their roles and responsibilities.

Companies are using more channels and activating revenue growth through more models than ever. This looks like it's only the beginning of a new approach toward growth that is only going to increase over the next 12 months.

This increase in operational complexity will demand even stronger alignment among disciplinary functions – sales, marketing, customer success, and operations – in order to accelerate growth and drive predictable revenue.

The function of Revenue Operations is now at its highest. There are over 5000 “revenue operation” related job listings on Linkedin. This is evidence that B2B companies recognize the importance of data-driven fundamentals in building aligned revenue teams.

In this provocative panel discussion, seasoned CROs will discuss the future of revenue growth and how shifts in both priority and economies are impacting the approach to revenue acceleration and optimization.
