Hey y’all, wanted to write a quick note—after 9 years and 9 months, today is my last day at Salesloft. It has been quite a run, huh?
Ten years ago when I was interviewing at Salesloft, friends would ask how the job hunt was going. When I mentioned Salesloft, their eyes would light up. I had a friend who was an SDR tell me, “That product has changed my life.” I was looking to join a talented team and work on a product people loved. There are more nuggets like that in my post on joining Salesloft.
I spent several years doing our core values interviews. For the last 5–10 minutes of those interviews, I’d let the interviewee ask me anything.
One of the more common questions was—well, what keeps you at Salesloft? I’d tell them that I stayed because we were a great team. Everyone cared deeply about the product and the company and our customers. Often we’d have disagreements (I certainly had plenty lol), but I knew everyone wanted the same things. We just had different opinions about how to get there. Being able to disagree without taking it personally makes for exceptional, high-trust teams.
It was very cool to watch the business grow from 100 people to well over 1,000. To watch it invent and then redefine the sales engagement category. I’m extremely proud of the work I’ve done over the years and all the sellers I’ve helped.
You know, I’ve been thinking for a while that it’s time for a new chapter. The world has changed pretty dramatically in the last year. I don’t know what comes next quite yet, but I feel good about it.
To all of you Salesloft folks and customers I’ve worked with, learned from and had the privilege to serve—it has been an honor.
