I obviously have a biased opinion since I was involved in this project, but holy s$%# there are some amazing insights in here. @mattsornson @maccaw and the rest of the Clearbit team are relentless about cutting fluff and getting straight to the meat of a story. It's a sales book written by engineers and writers sick of reading terrible sales blog posts that say the same crap. In this book there are tons of great examples of how to grow revenue, measure experiments, and follow best practices. There are benchmarks, example strategies, templates, etc. This is the book I wanted to read when I led sales development at Highfive and when I started SimpleData. Can't recommend reading this enough for sales leaders and entrepreneurs.

A must read. Especially valuable for a new VP Sales at an early stage startup.

Pros:

Detailed, specific advice

Cons:

No women. The boys club lives on in sales.

Instant download...printing within seconds of seeing that this had been released. Anyone with a SaaS business will probably need this...

I'm a simple marketer – I see Clearbit, I press like.

Clearbit team, you are doing great job. I can't understand how most brands live without sales-analysis or selling without learning client's background.

I'm super excited (and humbled) to have been involved in a project like this. What I'm most excited about is implementing the amazing advice that my fellow authors wrote in the book! This is an excellent handbook for anyone in SaaS sales who wants an edge over the competition.

great book

Pros:

advice that can be actioned to improve on sales process

Cons:

No female sales leaders
