In this weeks’ Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Monica Stewart.
Monica is a transformational GTM Consultant with 15+ years of experience, empowers B2B startup founders to achieve sustainable success on the journey from $1-$10M ARR.
In today’s episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, Monica shares valuable insights on why the jump from $1M to $10M in annual recurring revenue is more challenging than many anticipate. She outlines the critical stages of growth, the risks of scaling too soon, and the importance of staying focused on proven strategies. Monica also emphasizes the need for strong alignment between product, marketing, and sales, while offering practical advice on benchmarking, system scalability, and making the right hiring decisions—particularly when considering candidates from larger organizations.
