How we got 7,827 B2B leads with a 5-day virtual summit

Pretty much every sales team and startup needs more quality leads. That's true for us at Close.io as well. So last year, we decided to try something new: launch a virtual summit with more than 50 experts on inside sales. In the latest post on the Close.io blog, we share everything we learned during the two months leading up to the summit. You'll even see the emails we used to recruit speakers, traffic stats, how many leads, trial signups and paying customers we got for our inside sales software. Check out 9 steps to create a virtual summit: 7,827 subscribers and 55 interviews (Be warned: this is the longest post we've ever published on our blog. It covers everything you need to know if you want to launch your own summit, we're not holding anything back here.) Go get'em! Steli PS: Once you're getting quality leads into your funnel, the most important thing is to follow up with them effectively until they make a buying decision. That's where our sales software comes in—it'll help you never let a sales lead fall through the cracks, and ultimately close more deals in less time. Try it out free today, it takes just a few minutes to get started.

Remote startup culture? Here are 7 crucial lessons I learned in the past 2 years

3 years after we released Close.io, we shut down our Palo Alto office and became a completely remote company.  Making the shift to a 100% distributed team with members all over the world wasn't easy—but it was worth it! Here's everything I learned about running a remote startup and fostering a strong culture. If you think it's not possible to grow a tight-knit team spread out over a dozen countries all across the globe, you definitely want to read this. I'm not going to lie and say it's been easy. You need to proactively work toward building the right culture, and you constantly have to over-communicate.  Here's an overview of 7 crucial lessons I learned in the past 2 years: How weekly written team updates and monthly reports help us spend less than 30 minutes per week on team meetings Why we have a "Guide To You" for everyone on the team What a weekly question for everyone on the team does to help us surface issues and ideas that might otherwise go unheard Why someone on your team needs to OWN culture (and how to pick the right person for this role) Why we take shenanigans ridiculously serious Why being remote is actually NOT saving us money How we ensure employees actually get work done when no one is looking over their shoulder + some more practical tips Check out my latest post on the Close.io blog. Go get'em! Steli PS: We're hiring our first-ever Director of Marketing. Do you know someone amazing I need to talk to? Please send them my way and I'll owe you one.

Why does it take Close.io 3 months to plan a team retreat?

Even though we started out as a tiny team in a little office in Palo Alto, over time we've transformed into a 100% remote startup. But every six months we all get together as a team: pick a city, fly everyone in, and spend an intense week working and bonding together. But with almost 30 team members in 11 different countries, it's not just expensive, but also quite complex. So why do we do it? Why spend all that time, money, and energy for a week of being together? And how do we make sure it really pays off? That's what I talk about in my latest video. We share the details of how we plan, organize, and lead winning team retreats, with a practical day-by-day breakdown, and much more! Check out my latest post on the Close.io blog. Go get'em!
