Most sales leaders run film reviews once a week. I ran them every single day.

Not to critique reps. Not to micromanage. To build the playbook — live, in real time, call by call.

That pace is why we found go-to-market fit at HubSpot faster than almost anyone.

New episode breaks down exactly how I did it.

Your VC says go from $1M to $4M. You say "Easy."

You hire as many reps as you can, as fast as you can. But as my best friend Mark Roberge says, "Matt, that's how 95% of founders do it. And they're wrong."

So let's just admit this up front: That hurt. I felt high on being in the 95% of founders, only to quickly fall back to earth by being a majority failure. A real rollercoaster of emotion Mark put me through, but that's what best friends are for. Right?

We're going to show you exactly what you need to do to scale predictable revue.

So Emily is back in The Sales Lab to break down the exact ChatGPT prompts her own reps use & she even writes a cold email outreach LIVE.
