Is waiting two years for equity to vest now for suckers? Boutique recruiting firms are popping up everywhere full of “former operators ready to build your GTM Machine”. Seems staffing is the new/faster road to a piece of the exit pie @thedealdirector
1) My take on playbook orgs (multi-tweet) as someone who has worked for them and now works for a hyperscaler.
At its core, this debate is about what xAI and OpenAI want to be.
Playbook sales is a proven way to get net new logo ARR deals and it DOES WORK. No denying that.
The biggest problem I see with Salesforce as a hub for agentic AI is that at every company I’ve ever worked for, or alongside, the data in Salesforce falls somewhere on the spectrum between ‘chaotic mess’ and ‘completely fake & generated for optics.’
It’s collective denial across all levels of GTM orgs everywhere. Any acknowledgment of bad data in #SFDC is putting one’s own place in the bread line at risk - it is quickly spun back on the individual: “is your orgs data messy? That’s unacceptable…”
