Then, he decided to double those already-insane growth targets. His VP of Sales, Sam Blond, corroborates the craziness in this SaaStr video hosted by Jason Lemkin and Aaron Ross.

5. Ago Cluytens Reveals How to Use Email to Follow Up Effectively
Ago Cluytens shares some sales email secrets you don’t often hear. He offers a better way to follow up with prospects than simply sending email after email saying, “Hey, just checking in.”
‘Cuz honestly, that’s kind of lame.
Your emails should offer value, so it’s a good idea to send useful, relevant information.
But Ago says you should go beyond sending information, and actually offer access to your network. It’s hard to get much more valuable than that.
