Good content, poor audio quality
The content is good and the speakers are interesting. But for a podcast of this caliber, the audio quality of the guests is very poor, which makes it sometimes impossible to understand anything.

Why does the host sound like he’s recording on a potato? Otherwise neat concept.

content rich
Each podcast is packed with insights I do not get anywhere else. The podcast format introduces interactivity in a way that business books simply cannot. The length and editing are well done, and the guests - the real focus - are outstanding.

Great Show
Great show with lots of valuable information and fantastic guests. If you’re a Customer Success professional or involved in SaaS in some capacity, you should be listening to this. My only complaint is the 6+ minutes of ad content at the beginning and end. This feels like just wasted minutes I always skip. And intro and outro is fine, but I’d much prefer short, 30-70 second breaks during the podcast itself.

- SaaStr 645: Why GUIDEcx is Betting Big on In-Person Events with SaaStr Head of Partnerships Poya Osgouei and GUIDEcx Co-Founder and VP of Sales Todd WhiteSignificant strides in digital technology combined with the COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted the world of corporate summits, events, and tradeshows. Many businesses changed their strategy to incorporate virtual or hybrid events recently. Before the pandemic, hybrid and virtual gatherings accounted for only 18.9% of all events. But after the pandemic, the number shifted, with 59.5% of event planners stating that they will focus more on hybrid events. Is there still room for in-person events in 2023 and beyond? Further, can it drive value for your business? For Todd White, Co-Founder of GUIDEcx, the answer to both questions is a resounding yes. In this episode, Todd shares with SaaStr's Poya Osgouei why GUIDEcx finds live events so valuable, even beyond sales, and the playbook he uses to ensure his team gets the most out of events.

Conversely, sales-led growth puts human interaction at the center of sales processes. But sometimes, choosing a single path when it comes to a sales-led or a product-led growth model isn’t enough. In this session, Amplitude's Mark Velthuis will share how companies can embrace a mix of the two strategies, how it will affect our traditional understanding of sales, marketing, and product, and how leaders can get everyone on board.
