How should you go into 2024 the right way? After tuning in to our newest episode of the Super Revenue Brothers (link in description), how about some of these: 1. Kickoff Event After working with well over 100 startups by now, I can practically guarantee that your team isn't as well aligned on your goals, strategy, comission plan, playbook and process for 2024. That's normal, it's what startups look like. But why not use the chance to kick this year off right? Make it as small or big as you need to, but take the chance to inject some "infotainment" (kudos to Toni Hohlbein) in your team and make sure you're all on the same page for this year. 2. Spring-cleaning While you're at it, why not use the chance with your team(s) to clean your data, mails, to dos? Those opportunities you've had in the funnel for 372 days - close lost them! The leads that have been sitting in MQL since October - move them to nurturing and try again! You know you should, and you'll benefit tremendously, beyond just making people more productive. Your ability to scale will be increasingly linked to your data quality as you're going about building predictable revenue, so any effort you make today in improving your data quality will pay off multifold. 3. Spiffs While not too common in the German-speaking sphere anymore, Spiffs are practically as old as the sale game itself. Use sales challenges to bring some fun and education into your team and immediately produce output to start the year. Spiffs can be a beautiful way to spend a little bit of cash and time for huge results right away, but they're a lost art around here. Contact me if you want to know more! Best Raul

Sales pros, the unsung heroes of startup growth? Just wrapped up an incredible chat on the #PredictableRevenuePodcast with Dom Odoguardi and Ajinkya Nene from Trellus (YC W22). Their story is a testament to the power of direct feedback and choosing the right audience. Discovering a strong connection with sales professionals on LinkedIn was a game-changer. It wasn't just about being open to new tools; their willingness to share insights truly shaped Trellus into what it is today - a platform transforming #SalesCallEfficiency. The lesson here? Persona-based outreach isn't just a strategy; it's a cornerstone of product development. By diving deep into the world of their users, Trellus harnessed the direct feedback loop, evolving their tool to meet the real, pressing needs of #SalesTeams. But don't take my word for it.

🤔 A VC recently told me that he thought Demo Days were obsolete. I'm here to tell you he's wrong! 🎉 We just wrapped up my 21st Demo Day at Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator and it was as relevant, as stimulating, and exhilarating as ever. 🎭 Of course our founders put on a great show. But in the end, Demo Day is a showcase for investors. And in the great tradition of "show don't tell", the founders showed their vision for the future, and investors showed how impactful their messages were. Company booths were jammed with investors (and not just because of the swag!) Founder calendars quickly filled up with follow-up meetings. Investors are already asking for documents to review. My colleagues here on the front-line, Jeremy Harper, Perry Solomon, Harman Kochar and Karen J. Novak did an outstanding job, as usual, prepping our founders for the big day. But of course, the biggest congrats go to the founders themselves. You are an inspiration, and you made me very proud!

If there’s one thing to keep in mind as a startup owner today, keep your business model and pitch simple.   To make sure you communicate your business model in a simple and effective way, focus on clearly defining your value proposition. Identify what problem your startup solves and how it benefits your target audience. This will ensure that your stakeholders understand and remember it, and they'll be more likely to reach out when they come across relevant opportunities. #opportunities #simplicity #startuptips #legalcircle #legalexcellence
