One of the partners from General Catalyst, our investor, asked me to join a breakfast next week with a bunch of VP's of Sales who want to get to the Ceo level. I grew up through the sales ranks and was a VP of sales prior to being Ceo of HubSpot , so I guess I was not a bad target to join the discussion. In between Red Sox games, I spent a few calories thinking about some of things I could share with those folks and thought I'd share them with our readers as I suspect many of you might be vp's wanting to be ceo's some day.
