    "I think the lesson that I'm only just learning...is how to say no with grace...and I've been the guy who has said yes more often that no. And it's gotten me into a rough position where I've over extended myself, my team, my resources...and that doesn't leave anybody where they need to be." Keith Jones
    Keith is a SaaS veteran who has gone the full circle, from ops to sales and back to ops. A start-up warrior through and through, Keith is now at his fifth-venture backed company, running go-to-market systems at Mural.
    Keith also runs a non-profit community called Ride and Raise, organizing virtual athletic events every month and raising money for some amazing causes.
    Tune in to hear the lesson of saying no, and pick up many other great tips in this episode of The Revenue Architect.

  • Revenue Operations Supporting the Full Donut Funnel, with Allye O'Brien
    This episode is brought to you by Growth Forum - sign up for 30-days free, use the code: GROW30
    Director of Revenue Operations at Chief, Allye O'Brien is responsible for all things Salesforce, sales enablement, sales engagement and sales ops, Allye manages from lead to renewal and all the data points in between. With years of experience building sales teams in startups, Allye transitioned from Sales Director to Rev Ops, finding her sweet spot as an optimizer of Chief, where she not only feeds her data passion, she works in an oganization with a mission she's passionate about.
    What an epiphany - we're loving Allye’s idea that we should start looking at our funnel not as linear "cake" with a definitive start and definitive end…but as a donut! A circular funnel that feeds itself and as she says, “when a lead doesn’t convert into an opportunity, you should always be revisiting it when an opportunity doesn't convert to a customer, you should always be revisiting it when a customer churns, you should always be revisiting that.”
    Tune in as Allye and Jeff discuss the donut funnel and all things in between.
