Really informative Mid-Year Update from Succession Resource Group last week. Thanks to David Grau Jr, MBA, and Parker Finot for the external thought leadership. Key takeaways: - Retail practices 1B & under are available (up for grabs) for successors/purchasers with bandwidth & a strong value proposition - Over 85% of sellers don't seek open market valuation - Practices over 1B are evaluated on an enterprise level with different pricing models, often aligning with top-line revenue valuation Whether you're a buyer or seller, I highly recommend listening for yourself:

New Revenue Leader? Here's a framework for making revenue impact quickly: 1. Form a belief about the business (e.g. we discount too much) 2. Make a bet (e.g. if we form a 'deal desk' for discounting approval + enable our sales team with other levers for negotiating such as 'value adds' that will reduce the frequency of discounting) 3. Provide evidence (e.g. document the data that demonstrates 1) that this is a problem + 2) that 'your bet' will fix it) 4. Quantify the bet (what is the revenue impact? e.g. if we reduce discounting frequency by 10% that will increase revenue by 10% = $456K in revenue)

This first quarter was a real rollercoaster of emotions and challenges. Sales is mentally demanding but I firmly believe these obstacles make us stronger and more prepared to face whatever the future holds. 💪✨ Today I would like to thank some incredible companies that have decided to embark on this journey with Echobox and me. From Enterprise to Mid-Market and SMBs, each of these partnerships represents not only a closed deal but also an enriching and inspiring collaboration. 💼 Medialivre, Media Capital - Juntos criamos o futuro, and NZN: Together, we will be raising the standard of digital communication and opening up new horizons for the future. 📊 CMA Mercados: Lets propel your business to the next level. I'm excited to see what we can achieve together, where innovation, automation and creativity meet. 📰 Revista Pós-Venda and Jornal A VERDADE: You are living proof that size doesn't matter when it comes to vision, adopting new strategies/tools and passion. I'm honored to be part of your growth and ongoing success. Let's face the challenges of the next quarter with the same spirit of determination, resilience, and humor that has brought us this far. I certainly have an exciting pipeline to work on this quarter and I am thrilled with whats coming up 🚀💥 #PowerfulPartnerships #ChallengesOvercome #LetsGoForMore

A question has been lingering in my mind while the conversation about Klaviyo's recent pivot continues to unfold. Shoutout to Rishabh Jain’s original post for getting my wheels turning here… As someone with a history in the CDP game, here’s my thought process (let me know if you agree): Could Klaviyo have launched professional services first to concentrate on adopting the CDP? Instead of doing this, they went straight to email and now, here we are. I tend to agree with Rishabh, this kind of feels like a VP bonus grab to me. What do you think?
