The pressure to grow revenue is higher than ever for today's company leaders. Externally, marketplace dynamics have shifted and buyers have redefined why and how they buy. Internally, revenue organizations have to adapt and align their message in a way that communicates their value in today's dynamic selling environment. Despite recent economic and cultural shifts, the primary challenge revenue leaders are faced with today is one we've been dealing with for over 20 years as we've helped over 140 unicorns achieve and sustain growth: How can leaders drive company-wide execution that moves the needle on their strategic priorities? The answer is evergreen: alignment. While the customer objections and the tech stack have and will continue to evolve, potentially impacting the behaviors and messaging you must align behind — the enduring truth of building and scaling high-performing organizations is that alignment is the foundation of consistent execution, productivity and revenue.

Many revenue leaders recognize the Sales Kickoff (SKO) or Revenue Kickoff (RKO) as a premier opportunity to build momentum and set expectations with their go-to-market teams for the upcoming year.
