318: How to Grow Revenues with Great Account Management - with Alex Raymond

EPISODE SUMMARY

In 2024, the software industry is experiencing what I like to call "The Big Squeeze." Sales leaders and Chief Revenue Officers (CROs) are being asked to achieve more with fewer resources. Goals and quotas remain unchanged, but teams are shrinking, leads are drying up, and customers are less responsive. This pressure cooker environment is causing significant stress across the board. These issues were prominent during a recent conversation at the SaaS Open conference in Austin, Texas.

That’s why in this week’s episode of Scale Your SaaS, host, and B2B SaaS Sales Coach Matt Wolach sits down with Kapta’s Founder and CEO, Alex Raymond, to discuss how to grow revenues with great account management to counter these challenges in SaaS. Read more to find out how you can apply these tips to your business.
