“You can create a great orchestrated product. But if sales isn't on board, if SDRs aren't on board, if the creative team isn't on board… Everybody has to be on board to believe in this vision that you're executing, you can't just execute against something that nobody wants to be a part of. So at the end of the day, it has to be business-focused. It has to be outcome-focused. And the tool or the platform just becomes a mechanism to help you get to that goal faster.” – Hillary Carpio
