Is business booming right now for anyone else?

Our company primarily sells into the US.


With massive vaccine rollouts, given the industry we sell into, we have experienced an unprecedented influx in inbound business.


Is anyone else noticing this sort of growth spurt because of what they may feel is the world normalizes slightly?

Yup, but it's a hard-won game. We started making PPE so business is booming.

We’re seeing some strong market signals as well, the live event industry getting smashed has most certainly helped

I’m curious what industry are you in? Just because you’re benefiting from a lack of live events

Yes 100%. I’m in hospitality (restaurants, nightclubs, bars) so given the ability to reopen in most places, the owners are getting their confidence back. The tricky part right now is talking to people about how their current provider treated them during all of the lockdowns.

Yes, our inbound is insane - I am fully booked from everyday with demos. I sell a capital raising and investor management platform primarily to real estate firms.

Absolutely. I sell conversation intelligence and the number of inbounds we've been able to get since June last year has been insane. So much that we're bringing in another AE cuz my plate is full af.

Could be better but My primary market is energy. Low commodity prices = slow.

Business is strong right now. It started to pick up in January and has been steady since. We were hit really hard in 2020 so it's nice to see the rebound.

My personal take is if you need to train your sales team with outside sources, you hired the wrong people or have terrible in-house training. They all focus on what should be common sense and staying disciplined. Just my take. I learned more spending 30 minutes with peers than any 1-7 day course I’ve ever been on.
