“In the pain of trying to build pipeline for myself, I ultimately had to self-discover a new way.” (1:23-1:32)
“Along that journey sellers would ask me, you're teaching me to mine intelligent sales intelligence out of LinkedIn, why don't you just do this for me?” (2:52-3:01)
“It's kind of crazy that you ask your sellers to be researchers, so that's the problem we're solving.” (6:22-6:28)
