Just hire an ex Yext rep
Sales leaders are painfully hard hires to make. Experts in persuasion. Super high talk-to-walk ratio. If you mess it up, it can cost your business 12+ months and tons of revenue. I definitely haven’t figured making this hire out.

9:00pm EST. 996 disciples shut down their laptops & begin their long commutes home. But in a @roam Virtual Office, parents can put their kids to bed, or a dinner break with their friends, or celebrate a birthday and are back for work all night alongside their peers.

@benln Have you ever tried https://t.co/ODr6qnWy3u? Our team switched 8 months ago and never looked back. Virtual workspace, virtual offices/theaters, AI inbox (slack replacement), magicast (loom replacement), AI assistants etc. The most AI native virtual workspace I’ve ever tried!

Remote working apps like @roam may have the best product directionally aligned here. Ultimately platforms who can give workers the best AI VA will win here
