QUOTES

The importance of flexibility - Jon: "What a lot of people don't really understand is, not every deal is going to look exactly the same. Your one million dollar deal, your nine million dollar deal, your fifty thousand dollar deal, there's a lot of permutations and a lot of things that are very different."

Building trust is also about telling the truth - Jon: "There's going to be times in your career and sales cycle where you need to stop pushing customers and say 'you gotta trust me.' That's important, right? To be able to have that painful conversation."

What selling software could look like in 10 years - Jon: "A lot of these industries that invest in technology, focus on customer experience and accessibility, and democratizing the product, those industries, and companies, in particular, are going to win the race. If you see what Netflix did to steaming media and what Expedia did for travel agencies, we want to do the same exact thing for software sales."
