The Next Big Focus: The Buyer Experience With Ross Rich

Ross Rich was part of an outdated industry running the same playbook from 30 years ago. A move across the country landed him at Stripe where he helped grow the business from a self-serve model of 250 employees to a sales-led organization with over 7,000 employees. He shares how much he learned at Stripe and what became obvious to him: the market was missing a customer-facing collaboration platform for B2B sales. More specifically, one that would build a repeatable sales motion for companies that were rapidly growing.  From there, he and his brother got the idea for Accord. They have a keen understanding about a salesperson's point of view (including what they’re willing to do and what you’ll never get them to do) and they designed the platform accordingly to create transparency between a buyer and sales. Listen in for this episode to hear more, including our favorite quote from the episode: “Buyers don’t know how to buy."
