#### FY20 Sales VPMOM&#x20;

Vision

* Be super responsive - Quick on leads, inquiries, asks–time kills all deals

Methods

* (Sales Ops) Upgrade sales ops infrastructure and automate low dollar customers
* (SA) Deliver core demos as foundation of GTM
* (SA) Support GTM with webinars, events, blogs and technical content

Obstacles

* Creating awareness in the G2000 to engage
* Prospects won’t talk to AEs for lack of compelling content
* Need actionable info from telemetry on open source users
* Onboarding (process, best practices, docs and training)
* Keeping the product competitive and differentiated
* Need top 5 most important integrations from Mattermost (e.g. WebEx)
* Meet product the demands of new G2000 customers
* Need to optimize pricing and packaging (repackage E10)
* Need for greater bottoms-up interest in EE within the product

Measures
