I worry most when leaders start to limit their expectations to what is realistic. To me it seems like a license to just keep doing what they’ve always been doing – something that marketing teams are every bit as guilty of as sales. <br /><br />Perhaps the reason SaaS revenues are up is because they had to somewhat reinvent the sales and marketing process for this delivery model. Of course, SaaS is also becoming a much more attractive option to those who would previously only have looked at on-premise solutions.<br /><br />All the best!<br />MelissaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975146450107615036noreply@blogger.com
