We are going to talk about demystifying product LED growth within the enterprise and so really what I'm going to do is share with you 00:03 What are some of the common common truths that we are operating under in the growth teams around how it works? 00:11 What to do? 00:18 What are the strategies? 00:18
I'll talk about how that is different 00:20 when you apply it to an enterprise sales motion selling into a large organization and then I'll leave you with three things that we had done differently at game site 00:22 that allowed us to realize the value of that strategy. 00:32 Alongside of a traditional sales, 00:35 I strategy. 00:37 A little introduction to myself, 00:37 This is a picture of my younger self. 00:40
