5 Takeaways from this Year’s Pulse Conference premium
Just before Pulse, I shared my (slightly biased) opinion on why Pulse is the Best SaaS Event of the Year. And our time together at the Moscone Center proved that again ten times over. We laughed together. We suffered through far too many of my dad jokes and Taylor Swift references. We celebrated all the […]

5 Reasons Pulse Is the Best SaaS Event of the Year premium
Pulse is one of my favorite times of the year, and if you’ve attended one before, you know why. In addition to hearing from fantastic thought leaders, spending time networking with peers, and growing your career, the puppies, parties, and parody videos tie it all together.

Pulse Everywhere: 21,000 People Together At My Home premium
Look around you. What do you see? I see a guest bedroom. I see a desk crammed in the corner. I see a webcam. I see a screen that’s gotten pretty old. And occasionally, I see a kid come running in. That’s it. There are no colleagues around to brainstorm whenever I have an idea. […]

Pulse Is a Community, Not a Conference premium
Middle school. Whose idea was it to put 12 and 13-year-olds in a new school with new social structures and new challenges while they’re basically getting new bodies all at the same time? Did anyone like middle school? Okay, I know some people did. My wife for example—she’s been a beacon of happiness throughout her life. […]

Why Pulse 2019 Will Be Even Better Than Last Year premium

14 Things We Learned From 800 Survey Responses After Our 5,000 Person Event premium
Anyone that knows me knows that I’m obsessed with feedback. I’m that neurotic CEO that reads every Net Promoter Score (NPS) response (Promoter or not), responds to every Glassdoor post (good, bad, and ugly), and even engages on Twitter (speaking of ugly). Why? Partially, I do it because I believe Customer Experience (whether the “Customer” […]

How B2B Can Avoid the Fate of the Music Industry premium
I’ve always been a crazy music fan (emphasis on crazy). When I’m at my desk at Gainsight (which these days is less often than my team would like) you could find me wired-in with Spotify. Although many can poke fun at my musical tastes, one thing is for sure, the ability to stream even the […]

[Video] Nick Mehta | Turn your Revenue Funnel into an Hourglass: Driving Growth through Customer Success premium
Customer Success, when done correctly, can be a major driver of growth. The fastest-growing subscription businesses have renewal rates far greater than 100%; they can grow multi-dimensionally (through new clients and through additional spend from existing clients).
