I’m not very useful in the kitchen until it’s time for cleanup. While I’m a grill master outdoors, meals that involve recipes, seasoning, marinating, flavoring, fry pans, sauce pans, stove tops or ovens are a challenge.

My wife is a gourmet cook and her food is better tasting and healthier than what the best restaurants serve, so it’s OK that I’m useless and incompetent at cooking and baking.

Not long ago, I was speaking with a group of sales managers. They were struggling with the performance of their people. We were talking about their account planning process. They showed me some current account plans. They weren’t great, but they were better than most I see.

A dramatic shift has occurred in the B2B landscape. Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge. For SaaS companies relying on traditional sales strategies to grow revenue, these trends will only become worse, as they now falter in the face of modern purchasing paradigms.
