A proven way to fast start your year and to make your kickoff more engaging is to crowdsource win stories before sales kickoffs. Don’t wait.
Jake Hofwegen (SVP Revenue Operations & Strategy) decided that he and his team wanted to crowdsource win stories across all their revenue teams. They challenged every sales channel and customer success professional at Yext to record a short video deal win story. Their teams recorded over 260 win stories which were peer-reviewed and watched over 1,500 times. They even showed some of the biggest and most creative deals wins at their kick-off event. Kudos to you and your team Jake!
