"Sell the alpha, not the feature": The enterprise sales playbook for $1M to $10M ARR with @jjen_abel Jen is GM of Enterprise at @StateAffairsUS, co-founder @jjellyfish_co, and one of the sharpest minds I've ever met on all things enterprise sales. In this follow-up to our first chat two years ago (covering the founder-led sales zero to $1M phase), we focus on what founders need to know to grow from $1M to $10M ARR. We discuss: 🔸 The dangers of pricing your product $10K-$20K 🔸 Why tier-1 logos counterintuitively make the best early customers 🔸 Why the “mid-market” doesn’t exist 🔸 How to find and work with design partners 🔸 Why you need to vision-cast instead of problem-solve 🔸 Why services are the fastest way to get your foot in the door with enterprises 🔸 When to hire your first salesperson and what profile to look for 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 • YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=37fKFW… • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/29WRTO… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sel… Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 @WorkOS—Modern identity platform for B2B SaaS, free up to 1 million MAUs: workos.com/lenny 🏆 @Lovable—Build apps by simply chatting with AI: lovable.dev 🏆 @coda_hq—The all-in-one collaborative workspace: coda.io/lenny

I may know a company building this, but instead of being the next Facebook it’s the next LinkedIn. And it’s doing pretty well.

@jordihays TBPN already causing TechCrunch to shutdown

TechCrunch has shut down their European operation. Europe might not recover from this

Four years ago this week. @becsherm and I talk through the future of community. Get @jamielightshed’s feedback on he concept of Workweek. And @jordihays sends over a first draft of a Workweek logo. Grateful for the Day Ones.

The tomato meter is useless. Professionally reviewers are usually out of touch with audiences. It’s all about the 🍿. @RottenTomatoes needs to rebrand to the “Kernel of Approval Meter”

Really, really excited to be a part of this startup ... If your business model and investment decisions are shaped by state-level policy, it’s a LIABILITY not to have this. State Affairs is your eyes and ears across — and inside — all 50 state Capitol buildings. BEFORE, you were limited to bill trackers and secondhand consultant notes. NOW, we are unlocking real-time, nonpartisan access to what’s really happening first-hand: the conversations, hearing meetings, and decisions inside our state Capitols.

@AdamRy_n @grok thoughts on Adam’s analysis

The tariffs are clearly not being received well in the market, but based on the current market we’re about to have the worst 3 day period in S&P 500 history. Why is this crash happening so fast? It’s all about how trading has evolved. In the past, options, contracts to buy or sell assets at a set price, were mostly settled quarterly. That gave the market time to absorb changes. But in 2005, weekly options were introduced, and by 2022, we had daily options on the S&P 500. Now, traders can make big moves in a single day, so small news can trigger massive swings. Then there’s the VIX, the “fear gauge” that measures expected market volatility. VIX options let investors bet on how wild the market might get, not just on actual stock prices. It’s like a derivative of a derivative, adding another layer of complexity. When traders react to bad news with these leveraged bets, the drop becomes even more dramatic. This is why we’re experiencing a 15% drop in 3 trading days. But it’s not always been bad. This same speed can work in reverse. The rapid trading mechanisms that accelerate crashes can also fuel rapid rebounds. We saw this in March 2020 when the market tanked on COVID news but rebounded just as quickly when stimulus packages were announced. The faster the fall, the faster the potential recovery because the mechanisms that drive fear can also drive optimism. Understanding these dynamics helps make sense of why modern crashes feel so sudden. It’s not just fear driving the drop, it’s how fast we can act on that fear.
