'Crossing the $100m ARR Chasm' with Joe Marcin

Episode 5
 

Welcome to the Scale with Strive podcast, the place where you come to listen to some of the world’s most influential leaders of the SaaS industry. 🚀 

I am your host, Adam Richardson and on today’s episode, I am excited to welcome Joe Marcin, CRO at FirstUp! 

With other 25 years’ experience in the Software Sales world, Joe is a 3 times CRO who has spent the last 10 years focussed on scaling companies across the $100m ARR chasm. 

 

Some of my key takeaways from our conversation were:

💡 How your Hiring Profile changes as you scale – and how get people brought into change.

💡 The importance of robust processes and to move away from tribal knowledge and the importance of cross-functional alignment.

💡 The importance of technology and how to evaluate, and in some cases, consolidate this to help you scale. 

 

Let’s Dive in!
