Walk us through the last 6-figure deal you closed soup to nuts.
How were you able to move up so quickly in the competitive AE environment of Salesforce?
In the tech industry 18 months ago, every company thought their TAM was endless and enormous. Now prospecting is much more important, and TAM's are more realistic/focused.

Sales leaders still expect 60+ calls a day, but with a limited TAM, it's hard to understand how this is possible.
