Strong potential not without its growing pains

Sales manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

New CRO brings a culture of solid work ethic, togetherness, tackling issues head-on, and competitiveness. Advent of AI is really a sweet spot for this industry and company - existing to see how the market adopts to it.

Cons

Lots of roadmap promises - expected to create sale results with features not yet available. Continual issues with payroll mistakes, and confusion around comp plan YoY changes. Some leaders still haven't committed to a partner first selling motion.
