Fifty leads at the top of your queue. Sort them newest-first, the CRM default, and about 2 ever buy.

Re-rank the same 50 on the funnel's own ladder (a test drive beats a long call beats silence) and about 13 buy.

Same leads, same reps. The label was the lever, not the model.

@TrustVanta went from under $20M to north of $100M ARR in about 3 years against 40+ copycats. Same product, copied 40 times.

@KillCreek ran it, and her read is the least romantic in the CRO literature: execution is the only moat.

The strategy was never the problem.

@kylecnorton cut half his sales team 45 days into the CRO job at @owner , then hired a VP-caliber RevOps leader at six reps, and only then turned AI loose.

That order is the whole thing. Talent first, plumbing second, agents last. Most teams run it backwards and wonder why the agent scales the mess.

Full arithmetic in Issue 01 https://t.co/c4K3ny5EM0

[Thomas Cornelius @graph8tc]

Every quarter someone tells me the fix is more activity. It almost never is.

Pipeline multiplies, so one rate beats all the volume: take your conversation rate from 15 to 20% and the same list books like a team a third bigger, with zero hires.

@Jason Get in the arena @Jason ✌️

@dhh right product, right market > and you outwork anyone. That's the formula. Everything else factors luck of the draw more which means no agency or directive construction.

@bcherny @a16z keep shipping 🔥

Opus > Deepseek 250 x cost reduction.

We just ran some teacher/ student runs. Opus teacher, Sonnet benchmark and then kimi/ deepseek etc as student.

50x cost reduction over Sonnet with a 2.5 improvement in quality.

This is only prompting, not even our own distillation. Tipping point is here.

Wish I had some US based os models that can match that performance.

@kevinweil Congrats. On to the next one!

@howard Now this is a plot twist for the VCs narrative.

@brackin @bznotes That’s insane considering AI velocity. We do hundreds of of PRs per day. Won’t be sustainable at that PRICE.
