SEASON 3 PREMIERE! Chief Growth Officer at Emplifi, Vijay Gupta

In the Season 3 Premiere of Blindspots—the win-loss podcast for and featuring executives, founders and investors—host Ryan Sorley sits down with Emplifi's Chief Growth Officer Vijay Gupta.

At Microsoft, Adobe, Salesfiy and Emplifi, Vijay has led GTM teams with two strategic pillars in mind: 

• Understand the buyer way better than anyone else.
• Understand the competition way better than they understand you. 

Win-loss analysis has been the vehicle for unlocking and reaching both strategic goals. And Vijay joined Ryan to talk about what it takes to get there.

Blindspots is brought to you by the Compete Network: the #1 community for competitive intelligence and enablement professionals.
