Tuesday evening in September #muskoka

My sister who has three kids over dinner trying to convince me to have a second. “1 kid is 1, 2 kids is 3, and 3 kids is 187”

Favorite video of the year

You can see my collaboration with ChatGPT-4 here: shareg.pt/j2BLu51 In this case, I had already written a first draft. So I mainly used ChatGPT as an editor. In addition, by asking it questions, I was able to flesh out certain ideas and make the blog more complete.

New business blog: The Difficulty Ratio A fundamental principle in SaaS sales is that the size of a deal must be large enough to justify the effort required to close it. High-ACV deals can afford longer sales cycles, while low-ACV deals need high velocity. Exploring this simple idea, we define four quadrants based on deal sizes & sales cycle times. Find out which one your startup falls into and what it means for your sales strategy and growth. 🚀 If you find yourself in the losing quadrant, our blog offers actionable advice on how to get healthy by pushing ACVs higher or increasing sales velocity. On a personal note, ChatGPT has made writing more fun for me. Definitely a productivity boost! sacks.substack.com/p/the-difficul…
