Interesting data callout from @gavinsbaker 👇 @martin_casado and I have been hearing this anecdotally from several CIOs we spoke with but illuminating to see it across a broader survey. Would love the double click on *why* expectations are at an all-time low over last 5Y

5/There's no single right way to scale top down GTM...but two takeaways: the path from $20 to $500M ARR will be very different than from $0 to $20M & introducing top down sales can't be done in isolation. It will impact every aspect of the company when done right
