“Working for Ryan Barretto was the most transformative experience of my career and I will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him. Having a front row seat to see the impact he has had not only on the Sprout Social sales organization, but also on the entire company, is tough to summarize in a LinkedIn recommendation. His leadership style is the total package. His communications are inspirational yet clear and concise. His expectations are high and he shows his team this everyday in the hours and intensity he works with. He simultaneously is looking at every area of his business to understand where he can create more efficiency while also looking for ways to completely innovate. He’s constantly connecting with those in the SaaS industry that he admires to learn from their experiences and he graciously shares these connections and learnings with his team. With all the business savvy he brings he also one of the most compassionate leaders I’ve ever had the privilege to serve. He knows the work is challenging and he’s always looking to support and understand the people that work for regardless of their level or tenure on his team. His leadership is a level I will aspire to for the rest of my career. ”

The most valuable sales data isn't in your CRM. It's in your conversations. At Paychex, Mike Bohner’s team is turning those conversations into a competitive advantage with the help of Chorus by ZoomInfo. By capturing insights from every interaction, they’re not just understanding their market better. They’re planning smarter plays, prioritizing the right accounts, and building strategies that scale.

The True Cost of “Just One More Rep” Most organizations underestimate the real cost of a sales hire. Fully loaded, a mid-market or enterprise rep often costs $225K–$300K per year, once you include compensation, benefits, tools, enablement, and management overhead. For a single additional sales rep!!! Add 6–9 months of ramp time, performance variability, and attrition risk, and year-one productivity is rarely optimal. Now compare that to a productive partner who already has: 👉 Customer relationships 👉 Buyer context 👉 Sales capacity you don’t pay for The economics are fundamentally different.

Everyone wants the AI edge in sales. The trick is making it work for you, not just adding another shiny tool. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. When your ICP is clear and your steps are dialed in, AI becomes a force multiplier instead of just more noise. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗼𝗼.
