Artificial intelligence has become the defining narrative across enterprise software. Nearly every briefing, product announcement, and marketing campaign now emphasizes AI capabilities, agents, automation, and the technological advances taking place behind the scenes. From an innovation standpoint, the excitement is […]
The Feature Pitch Is Not Enough B2B SaaS companies have spent years explaining what their products do. That worked reasonably well when the product was a system of record, workflow tool, or analytics layer. AI changes the sales conversation because […]
The Product Is Not the Raw Material One of the more useful ways to understand AI in B2B software is to stop thinking about it as a feature for a moment. AI is starting to behave more like a productive […]
Executive Summary SaaS pricing has evolved by expanding dimensionality. Seats defined the early era of subscription software. Secondary metrics such as contacts, storage, and API volume introduced more precise alignment between usage intensity and revenue capture. Cloud infrastructure later normalized […]
The Desk Is Moving The MCP story is useful because it gives us a concrete signal to look at. But after sitting with the broader market scan, I do not think the bigger story is really about a protocol. The […]
Most software and technology providers are not losing because of market conditions. They are losing momentum because they are stuck in a cycle of constant planning, reorganization, and strategic resets. In this video, Nicholas break down what we are seeing […]
For the last year, much of the AI conversation in GTM has focused on assistants. Sellers get writing help. Marketers get content suggestions. Customer teams get summaries. Those use cases matter, but a different pattern is emerging across revenue technology. AI systems are […]
The Signal People buy from people they trust. That’s not new. What is changing is when that trust gets built, and who is responsible for creating it. In a growing number of go-to-market teams, that responsibility is shifting earlier in the process. Not to sales, but to marketing. The SDR […]
In today’s software and technology landscape, one question continues to surface in our conversations with vendors and service providers: who is truly winning? Historically, this was a relatively straightforward question to answer. There were always clear market leaders, organizations that […]
From Alignment to Elimination For years, B2B companies have tried to solve the same problem: how to get sales and marketing aligned. Fifteen years ago, when I was at HubSpot, we called it smarketing. Weekly meetings, shared definitions, handoff agreements. […]
I was at Conga Connect 2026 last week and had the chance to witness something you don’t see very often in B2B technology. A brand redesign revealed live to customers. Not teased on social media. Not rolled out quietly through […]
This 3Sixty Insights infographic examines how one organization rebuilt a fragile SDR engine after realizing that its outbound motion had become overly dependent on email and weighed down by a costly “Franken-stack” of tools such as ZoomInfo, Groove, and Gong. […]
This infographic, based on analysis from Kyle James, examines the hidden cost of the typical “Franken-stack” sales environment where multiple disconnected tools handle data, engagement, calling, and analytics. This fragmentation creates a significant productivity drain as teams spend hours each […]
A Quiet Migration Play Reshaping GTM For more than two decades, CRM has functioned as both the filing cabinet where structured customer data lives and the desk where go-to-market work gets done. If you wanted visibility, you logged into CRM. […]
Kyle James and I recently had a conversation with Zuora, one of the early pioneers and leading platforms in subscription-based billing. They have spent more than a decade helping organizations operationalize recurring revenue models. What stood out in our discussion […]
Sales teams have more data and more recommendations than ever. What they have less of is confidence in what to do next. Across GTM organizations, a consistent pattern is emerging: sales intelligence systems are excellent at surfacing signals, but far […]
For most B2B SaaS companies, the SDR function is the daily engine of pipeline creation. For one Apollo.io customer, that engine had become fragile: over-reliant on email, constrained by tool sprawl, and misaligned with how modern buyers actually want to […]
For years, Apollo.io was seen primarily as a data vendor. Most people who knew the name placed it next to ZoomInfo and Clearbit, assuming it was another place to find company and contact records. That framing made sense at the […]
There is a reason sales reps still exist. There’s also a reason brands continue to rely on founders, executives, employees, and even public figures to carry their message. From celebrities lending credibility to consumer brands, to founders and operators becoming […]
Remember when social media felt creative? When brands experimented in public. When posts sounded human. When the goal was to learn what resonated, not just to avoid what might blow up. Maybe that’s just showing my age, or maybe it’s just having experienced a change in the way brands […]
