Scaling Sales - Insider Secrets w/ Rippling's Matt Loop and Matt Plank (Edu)

The Startup Podcast

Do you really understand sales? Learn how great startups grow from founder led origins to dynamic regional teams while maintaining a shared company DNA.

In this episode, sales team hyper-scalers Matt Loop (Rippling, Slack, LinkedIn, Salesforce) and Matt Plank (Rippling, Zenefits) explain how to build a sales team that doesn't suck.

Matt, Matt, and Yaniv discuss:
