Description

Chris Merritt, Chief Revenue Officer of Cloudflare joined Cloudflare nearly a decade ago when annual revenue was around $1M with one sales person — and has since been scaling the sales organization and helping grow Cloudflare into the multi-billion dollar business it is today. When building a sales team and business at scale, organizations go through various stages of growth with key milestones along the way—from 1-10 million in revenue, to 50-100 million, to 100 million, and onward. While no two businesses are the same, we’ll dive into a few areas that are most likely to change, with Chris sharing some findings along the way to help others effectively scale their organizations.   Full video with Q&A: https://youtu.be/YkmDl59sDkg   Want to join the SaaStr community?
