If your revenue team is hitting a ceiling despite adding headcount and new tools, the problem isn't your people - it's your architecture. In this episode, Mike Allton sits down with Amanda Rubin, SVP of Revenue at Frameplay and former EVP of Growth at Enthusiast Gaming, where she drove four consecutive years of revenue growth. Amanda unpacks what she calls the "architect's mindset" - the long-view, systems-first approach that separates true Revenue Leaders from sales managers who are simply trying to hit this quarter's number. You'll hear how Amanda built scalable GTM frameworks from the ground up - first with nothing but a color-coded Google Sheet, and now with an AI-powered tech stack that eliminates admin drag and gives sellers back the time they need to actually sell. She breaks down exactly how she structures account lists, ladders sales teams, and deploys tools like We Flow, Fyxer AI, and Apollo to create a revenue engine that scales without breaking. What you'll walk away with: Why the difference between a Sales Leader and a Revenue Leader changes everything about how you build your org How to structure account tiers so no opportunity falls through the cracks The AI tech stack Amanda is architecting right now at Frameplay - and the honest truth about what it takes to implement it Connect with Amanda Rubin: LinkedIn Resources mentioned: We Flow - AI-powered activity tracking and pipeline intelligence Fyxer AI - AI email organization and post-meeting draft automation Apollo - Sales sequencing and outreach automation Download the free Executive Guide to Shadow AI: theaihat.com/shadow-ai CHAPTERS: 00:00 Meeting Follow Up Basics 00:23 Podcast Intro Theme 01:32 Welcome and Mission 01:56 Scaling Chaos Problem 02:33 Meet Amanda Rubin 04:05 Sales vs Revenue Leadership 05:53 Revenue Architect Mindset 07:07 GTM Narrative and Positioning 08:01 Designing the Sales Org 10:21 Frameworks That Break 11:14 Account Lists and CRM Discipline 12:44 Tiering and Activity Tracking 13:36 People Roles and Incentives 15:18 Enthusiast Gaming Playbook 17:29 Packaging and Storytelling 19:41 Building Seller Pods 22:07 Diagnosing Capacity Leaks 23:27 Support vs Sales Spend 24:29 AI for Spec Sheets 24:52 Wildfire GPT Brain 25:59 Shadow AI Governance 27:15 Fix Workflows First 27:42 WeFlow Setup and CRM 30:51 Conference Intelligence Dashboards 33:33 Fyxer Inbox and Followups 35:09 Apollo Sequences and Outreach 36:37 Frameplay Pitch and Audience 39:06 WeFlow Activity Warnings 41:25 Fail Fast Tool Decisions 42:56 Story Before Headcount 44:01 Connect on LinkedIn 44:42 Final Shadow AI Reminder Learn more about your ad choices.

Most reps treat every account in their territory the same. Same sequence, same effort, same time. That's why most reps run out of time before they run out of accounts.Brian LaManna, 7x President's Club winner and founder of Closed Won, built a three-tier system that protects his time and focuses his energy where it actually moves the needle.In this show, Brian walked through how he tiers his book, operationalizes research workflows using Google Alerts and Sales Navigator, and shows up to every Tier 1 account with a strong POV before the first touchpoint.If you're spending time on accounts that will never move, this is the session that fixes that.You'll Learn:A three-tier account model to help you research each account when signals appearHow to set up Google Alerts and Sales Navigator so account intelligence comes to youThe research framework Brian uses for Tier 1 accounts to build a POV before any outreachThe Speakers:Will Aitken, and Brian LaMannaIf you want to catch The Daily Sales Show live, join hereFollow Sell Better to get the latest actionable tactics from sales pros at the top of their gameExplore our YouTube ChannelThank you to our sponsors: Gong and Quotivity

Chips Ahoy! On this episode of Baconsale, we're chewin' (Oreo, rather, crunchin') a bunch of store-brand cookies. We bravely navigated the cookie aisle in the supermarket and purchased 21 of the popular snacks. Joel binge-ate them with his family, while Zack and Kent (the cookie bullies) spread their taste testing out over a week or so. Now, we're ready to rank and tier Famous Amos, Keebler, Little Debbie, Pepperidge Farm, Royal Dansk, Moon Pies, Newtons, Tim Tams, Lorna Doone, Nutter Butters, and more. We don't always agree on what tastes good, but we can agree that many of these cookies remind us of our grandmas.   Ignore the calorie count.

Kennst du diese Situation im Team: Jemand sagt "das skaliert nicht", und plötzlich steht der Datenbankwechsel schneller im Raum als die eigentliche Frage nach dem Warum? Genau da packen wir an. Denn in vielen Systemen entscheidet nicht das nächste hippe Tool von Hacker News, sondern etwas viel Grundsätzlicheres: Datenlayout und Zugriffsmuster.In dieser Episode gehen wir einmal tief runter in den Storage-Stack. Wir schauen uns an, warum Row-Oriented-Datastores der Standard für klassische OLTP-Workloads sind und warum "SELECT id" trotzdem oft fast genauso teuer ist wie "SELECT *". Danach drehen wir die Tabelle um 90 Grad: Column Stores für OLAP, Aggregationen über viele Zeilen, Spalten-Pruning, Kompression, SIMD und warum ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake oder Redshift bei Analytics so absurd schnell werden können.Und dann wird es file-basiert: CSV bekommt sein verdientes Fett weg, Apache Parquet seinen Hype, inklusive Row Groups, Metadaten im Footer und warum das für Streaming und Object Storage so gut passt. Mit Apache Iceberg setzen wir noch eine Management-Schicht oben drauf: Snapshots, Time Travel, paralleles Schreiben und das ganze Data-Lake-Feeling. Zum Schluss landen wir da, wo es richtig weh tut, beziehungsweise richtig Geld spart: Storage und Compute trennen, Tiered Storage, Kafka Connect bis Prometheus und Observability-Kosten.Wenn du beim nächsten "das skaliert nicht" nicht direkt die Datenbank tauschen willst, sondern erst mal die richtigen Fragen stellen möchtest, ist das deine Folge.Bonus: DuckDB als kleines Taschenmesser für CSV, JSON und SQL kann dein nächstes Wochenend-Experiment werden.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Season seven of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast centered on one core ambition: how to grow from early validation at 10K MRR to meaningful scale at 10M ARR. Across the season, founders, operators, and leaders shared practical guidance on product-market fit, hiring, go-to-market systems, partnerships, pricing, revenue operations, community, expansion revenue, and more. This summary distills their insights as shared in the episodes—nothing theoretical, nothing added beyond what they discussed—into a single, coherent narrative designed to help you focus, execute, and build momentum.From the outset, the thesis is clear. There are patterns you'll hear repeatedly—focus, alignment, ICP clarity, hiring for stage-fit, segmentation, community, and systems. There are also points of debate that reflect the realities of stage and context. What follows is a structured walkthrough of the advice discussed in the season, episode by episode, following the journey from 10K MRR through the climb toward 10M ARR.Season 7 Full Episode listS7E1: How to Build SaaS Partnerships That Actually Drive Revenue with KaraLynn LewisS7E2: Why 80% of Outbound Sales Fails, and How to Fix It with Besnik VrellakuS7E3: Building SaaS Partnerships That Actually Drive Revenue with Hugo PereiraS7E4: Why Your SaaS GTM Isn't Working And How to Fix It with Operational Discipline with Garrath RobinsonS7E5: B2B SaaS Sales Growth: Outbound Strategies to Scale Revenue with Joey GilkeyS7E6: How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS with Maja VojeS7E7: Why Human Psychology Still Wins in B2B SaaS Sales (Even in the Age of AI) with Desiree-Jessica PelyS7E8: Building a Community-Led Growth Engine for SaaS with Michelle GoodallS7E9: The Future of SaaS Content: AI, Personal Branding, and Authority with Tommy WalkerS7E10: Scaling SaaS Sales: From Founder-Led to High-Performance Teams with Kevin “KD” DorseyS7E11: How to Use Signal-Based Selling to Drive Efficient SaaS Growth with Shoaib G.M.S7E12: SaaS Pricing Strategy 2026: Hybrid Models, AI Costs & Value-Based Pricing with Tjitte JoostenS7E13: Building a Global SaaS GTM: Cultural Nuances, Local Teams & Expansion with Varun ThambaS7E14: Scaling SaaS in 2026: AI Adoption, Pricing Shifts & Efficient Growth with Romy Kotler-de GrootS7E15: SaaS Monetization in 2026: Tiering, Usage, AI Add-Ons & Pricing Experiments with Krzysztof SzyszkiewiczS7E16: SaaS GTM in 2026: AI, Hybrid Sales & High-Performance Revenue Engines with Richard SchenzelS7E17: How PLG Will Change in 2026: AI Agents, Onboarding & Hybrid GTM with Roelof OttenS7E18: Preparing Your SaaS for an Exit: Valuation Drivers, Buyers & Metrics That Matter with René de JongS7E19: How SaaS GTM Will Change in 2026: Thought Leadership, Intent Signals & AI-Powered Growth with Glenn MiseroyS7E20: How SaaS Companies Will Scale in 2026: GTM Efficiency, RevOps, and Word-of-Mouth Growth with Koen StamS7E21: How AI Will Rewrite SaaS GTM in 2026: Pricing, Efficiency & Sales Automation with Jacco van der Kooij

Tiering out the rest of the NFL after the Pats take the top spot

SaaS monetization in 2026 is being reshaped by smarter tiering strategies, flexible usage-based models, AI-powered add-ons, and bold pricing experiments that help companies grow revenue while meeting evolving customer expectations. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, host Joran speaks with Krzysztof “Chris” Szyszkiewicz, the co-founder of ValueShips, a boutique pricing consultancy that works primarily with technology companies, particularly within SaaS and AI. The conversation, recorded live at the SaaS Summit in Benelux, explores where SaaS pricing is heading in 2026 and how companies can gain an advantage by rethinking monetization, packaging, and expansion strategy.Chris offers practical insights on output and success-based pricing, the rise of AI add-ons, the importance of structuring tiers based on willingness to pay, and the need to view pricing as a continuous process. He also explains how to run pricing experiments, avoid common traps, and use straightforward frameworks to protect margins, especially in AI-driven products where usage costs can escalate quickly. For any SaaS company preparing for growth in 2026, this discussion provides a grounded and actionable blueprint for building a pricing system that supports scale.Key Timestamps(0:00) – SaaS Pricing in 2026 Is Gonna Get Wild(0:53) – Live From SaaS Summit Benelux(0:57) – Meet the Pricing Guy Behind ValueShips(1:11) – What Will SaaS Pricing Look Like in 2026?(1:19) – Expansion Revenue Is the New Growth Hack(2:32) – Scale Smarter With Usage Metrics(3:45) – Stop Guessing: Do Real WTP Research(4:10) – Switching to Hybrid Pricing Without Chaos(4:23) – Test AI Add-Ons Before Going All-In(5:43) – The New AI-Native SaaS Models(5:58) – Freemium Isn't Free(7:08) – Booking.com-Style Pricing Comes to SaaS(8:04) – Pricing Is a Process(9:44) – Ad Break: Reditus(9:57) – A/B Test Your Pricing Like a Pro(10:30) – How to Test Pricing on Existing Customers(11:38) – The Churn Math You Must Know(12:41) – The Most Expensive Pricing Mistakes(13:45) – Don't Blow Up Your Pricing Model for AI(14:47) – When Credits Pricing Works(15:01) – Keep AI Costs From Killing Margins(16:10) – Utility-Style Billing 101(16:48) – Early-Stage Pricing to Hit 10K MRR(18:15) – Scale to $10M ARR Without Revenue Leaks(19:24) – Final Takeaways(19:27) – Connect With Chris(19:40) – Outro & Subscribe

Sean Owens hosts another exciting dynasty trade show w focus & insight on your #dynastytrades from Dynasty Dad & Snoog with emphasis on recent news & #fantasyfootball events

Bill Diggons, managing partner at Qittitut Consulting (yes, named after a fast-growing, healthy Inuit bear), shares 24 years of pricing wisdom earned across 182 projects in 57 countries. A disciple of pricing legend Tom Nagle and former oil industry marketer at Schlumberger and Halliburton, Bill reveals why single-column bids are leaving 3-5 margin points on the table and how tiering transforms B2B pricing. From Wagyu beef pricing psychology to semiconductor de-specification strategies, Bill and Mark debate whether prices should be easy or hard to compare, why "Boss Hog" beats techno-nerd names, and the counterintuitive power of ending prices in odd numbers instead of zeros. Plus, why Bill charges $5,000 extra just to read client contracts.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why tiering consistently delivers 3-5 margin points minimum—and how three-column bids with strategic naming force buyers to make trade-offs instead of price comparisons. Learn the "no zeros" pricing rule that generated $8 million in three months by making prices look carefully calculated rather than negotiable. Master the art of non-compliant RFP responses with alternatives that disrupt tender processes and win on value instead of lowest price.   "Not profound, but no zeros on the quote. It's so often that we can get half a margin point just out of stuff like that. And then beyond that, try some naming and tiering because it's going to work for you." – Bill Diggons   Topics Covered: 02:09 - The Qittitut Origin Story: Why a Dancing Bear Beat "Bill & Bob's Consulting". 05:39 - What is Tiering? Moving Beyond Single-Column Bids. 10:07 - The Restaurant Menu Masterclass and Boss Hog's Emotional Appeal - How to Decide What Features Go in What Tiers. 19:02 - Responding to RFPs with Tiered Alternatives and Non-Compliant Bids. 20:02 - The Power of "Networking Best Practices Meeting" vs. "Presentation". 26:23 - Final Advice: No Zeros on the Quote (And Why It Generated $8 Million). 28:12 - Contacting Bill and Why He Charges $5,000 to Read Contracts.   Key Takeaways: "Tiering to me is having at least a three-column bid, naming the columns, and then having some names on the products or services to imply added value. Whenever we've introduced this, it always results in three to five margin points minimum." - Bill Diggons "I demand the right to segment that price to the outcome, the value the buyer gets. Even though the variable cost of the motor is identical, I want to be able to sell it at an economy price in a benign environment and at a premium price in an extreme environment because I put billions of dollars into creating this thing." - Bill Diggons   People / Resources Mentioned: Tom Nagle: Author of "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" - pricing authority who transformed Bill's approach in oil and gas. Schlumberger: Oil company where Bill worked in marketing. Halliburton: Oil company in Bill's background. QSales: Where Bill was practice leader for 20 years. A.T. Kearney, McKinsey, Deloitte: Consulting firms mentioned in the RFP rejection story where Bill's price was "too low". Starbucks: Referenced for tall, grande, venti tiering strategy. iPhone/Apple: Used as two examples - 99-cent pricing psychology AND customers not comparing to Huawei when upgrading. Huawei: Mentioned as iPhone competitor that iPhone users ignore when upgrading.   Connect with Bill Diggons: Company: https://www.qittitut.com/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billdiggons/  Email: bill@qittitut.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Data management in high-performance computing (HPC) and AI environments presents unique challenges, especially with heavy file usage and evolving data lifecycles. This edition of the Pure Report podcast delves into these complexities, exploring how data transitions through development, simulation/training, inference/optimization, and long-term retention phases. Together with Pure technologists Bikash Choudhury and Don Poorman, we'll tackle the critical problem statement: reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by automatically moving inactive data to different tiers without sacrificing accessibility or performance during crucial operational stages. Join us as we introduce Pure Storage's innovative Zero Move Tiering (ZMT) solution. Discover how ZMT delivers dynamic Service Level Agreements (SLAs) across performance and capacity tiers without data movement, leading to lower TCO and zero operational overhead. We'll also examine how ZMT fits into various data lifecycle stages, from development build workloads to AI-augmented modeling and simulation, and compare Pure's approach to the common deficiencies seen in other vendor solutions.
