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.

Less than 1,600 companies have ever achieved Unicorn status, which means they achieved a $1B valuation benchmark without going public. While the number of Unicorns has tripled over the past six years, they remain incredibly rare—fewer than 1% of tech startups get there. The ones that reach Unicorn-level don’t just grow—they scale with precision through a go-to-market (GTM) strategy that elevates a great product into a market leader. At Force Management, we’ve partnered with over 140 of these elite companies. Across these engagements, three common strategies consistently emerge: cross-functional alignment on customer value, managers are equipped to coach, and executive buy-in that drives the initiative from the top down. Here’s a breakdown of how our Unicorn clients implemented these strategies:

What Is a Sales Role Play? Sales role play is a simulated sales conversation designed to prepare reps for real customer interactions. It allows salespeople to rehearse key parts of the conversation (like discovery, objection handling, or negotiation) before stepping into a live selling situation. Role playing helps identify gaps in preparation, test out messaging, and gain feedback in a risk-free setting. When implemented correctly, it's one of the most powerful tools for improving sales execution, confidence, and agility.

Great sales leaders know how to make the number, but the ability to do that consistently requires more than just great sales skills. The best revenue leaders understand the critical need to equip individuals with the proper tools for revenue success and drive organizational outcomes. A great sales leader understands the importance of a structured sales discipline while reinforcing methodologies that drive measurable results. Veteran Sales Leader and Current Shopify Chief Revenue Officer Bobby Morrison recently joined the Revenue Builders podcast with John Kaplan and John McMahon to talk through his lessons learned and his blueprint for great sales leadership. Morrison knows how to grow and scale companies; from his sales leadership roles at Verizon, where his leadership helped drive $8.3B in revenue, and at Microsoft, where his segment increased revenue from $15B to $25B. Now, at Shopify, he’s led their shift upmarket to an aggressive 30% revenue growth rate in Q1 of this year.
