It’s no secret that we are working with the best presales and solutions teams in SaaS. Some of these orgs have over 300 SEs! Why are they partnering with us?👇 - These teams have very complex products and a very technically complex sale. New SEs/SCs take up to a year to ramp and often require a lot of domain experience. No one person can be an expert on everything — that’s where AI comes in. - SEs are the knowledge experts of the GTM org, and thus they have a much higher bar for response accuracy. We’re able to get sign-off from SEs with our answer quality, we know that anyone in the org can trust our answers. - We have the best technical team building in this space. If you are building an AI-first knowledge assistant or agent, you are going to win by having the best AI. The founding team must be deeply technical and understand what models are good at, bad at, and how they can be improved. Too often, teams over or underestimate model capabilities for different use cases, and customer experience suffers. - We have the best product. We have yet to lose a head-to-head evaluation. If you want to join some of the top solutions and technical sales orgs in deploying AI for GTM, shoot me a DM.

Am so AMPED to join Rodrigo Liang and the entire SambaNova Systems team. Coming from the app and data side of the business, i've had the opportunity to see agentic and production level development build momentum. As we enter this new world of pervasive agents in business and our personal lives, the ability to provide inference at radically faster rates with much lower power consumption is ESSENTIAL to effective production deployments of Generative AI. At SambaNova Systems the engineering and product teams have worked for years building silicon and software that provides incredible performance gains over GPUs. Think -> purpose built tech for GenAI that is 10x the performance of GPUs, and even more importantly, uses 1/10th the power. Some form of this outcome will become a requirement for any mission critical GenAI app IMHO and we've got the best tech for this coming wave. Over the last couple weeks alone, SambaNova was ranked #6 in Fortune's Future 50 with #5 being OpenAI, was recognized as the Most Respected Private Semiconductor Company by the prestigious Global Semiconductor Alliance, and i've seen more engaged customers driving transformational initiatives for their governments and companies than I could have ever expected. Best part of all of this is that we're just getting started with launch of our cloud product enabling simplified access to all. 😎 👍 A lot to do ahead and we will be building and moving fast. We will be forming partnerships with the leading enterprises, service providers, and governments driving new levels of engagement with their Developers and Changemakers to enable them to truly realize the promise of Generative AI. Future is extremely bright!!! Let's goooo!!!!! 🚀 🚀

Our watsonx.governance development team has been hard at work, and we are thrilled to announce the release of version 2.0 featuring generative AI hallucination detection! Kudos to Heather Gentile, Douglas Stauber, Ian Francis, and the entire team for their dedication and innovative work. Exciting news! In this latest release, we have introduced new metrics to enhance your experience, complementing the ~20 gen AI metrics we already provide: - Faithfulness: measures the fidelity of the model output to the reference data provided. - Answer relevance: evaluates how relevant the LLM output/response is to the user query. - Unsuccessful requests: calculates the ratio of questions answered unsuccessfully out of the total number of questions. To discover more about these new features and other updates, check out our article on Watsonx.governance 2.0 here: [Link to Article](https://lnkd.in/eRmA6upy) #WatsonX #AI #Innovation #DataGovernance #TechUpdates

It’s easier to see the breadth of a trend in the market than the depth, but it’s the deep trends that leave markets permanently transformed. 📈 Look at cloud sales partnerships. Every year, more & more B2B transactions happen through #cosell and cloud marketplaces. The lower friction and extra reach of the marketplaces are driving 70% YoY growth- we’re pacing for $45B in partner sales across the major cloud providers this year. A big portion of that growth is driven by broader adoption. ⏩ More companies are #listing their products and closing their first deals through the marketplace, and more companies are investing in tools like WorkSpan that list on marketplaces, #cosell and embed marketplace transactability into their CRMs to drive seller participation. That’s the "breadth" of the marketplace trend. ⏬ But we’ve also reached a point of maturity where growth is being driven by the "depth" of cloud marketplace adoption. Sophisticated cloud partners aren’t just using marketplace transactions to rescue stalled deals with pre-committed cloud budgets as a one off, they’re making the lower friction of cloud marketplaces a core part of their sales strategy & customer lifecycle. They’re creating dedicated partner overlay teams to drive effective co-selling motions at a global scale. They’re co-selling multiparty, services + software deals and closing them on the marketplace. They’re baking co-sell automation into their freemium / PLG product flows to automatically offer one-click upsell contracts through cloud marketplaces. A temporary surplus in cloud budgets might drive a market trend and a broad rush to participate in cloud marketplaces. But cloud marketplaces have unlocked much deeper ways to partner and powerful new ways of co-selling. ⚡ B2B selling now has Cloud GTM as a permanent pillar and it is never going to be the same!

Here’s No. 3 of the 10 best practices I've learned over 10 years building and leading #ABM programs. (Ten years have flown by because #ilovemyjob!) Create a program structure and process that constantly reinforces the importance of the message. Technology should enable your program, but not define it. Know your customer--what are their business objectives and what hurdles do they need to overcome to achieve them. Clearly identify how your company can help the customer achieve those objectives and overcome those hurdles. Focus on the message. Develop a UNIQUE value proposition. Create unique content. Then package/deliver that content in a way that its interesting, applicable and drives action by the target audience. Tools like #Draup, #6Sense, #SFDC, #Marketo, #Postal and #Folloze are excellent at informing, actioning, and making your content look beautiful. But they can’t make any impact if you start with a weak or irrelevant message. PS. Partner with a great ABM agency like #Hut3 to create your message! #accountbasedmarketing #contentisking

How do the best CROs in Fortune 500 companies stay ahead of the curve? It’s not luck—it’s their approach to revenue. After working closely with top enterprises, I’ve seen how they use AI and disciplined Revenue Cadences to eliminate revenue risk and drive predictable growth, quarter after quarter. Take G-P for instance—they cut slipped deals by 39% with a precise, data-driven cadence. And Nutanix? They freed up 50% more time for their sales teams to sell by streamlining their forecasting process. This level of precision is how winning companies stay ahead, and Clari has compiled all of these insights into the new CRO Playbook. Want to know how to run revenue like the best in the business?
