My quest right now is to help people realize that selling is a game you can play and win.

I've closed millions as a founder who started in design. I used to think sales was an art form. It's not.

Sales is about finding people who believe what you believe—then turning them into champions. Champions do the real work: selling your product to their team from the inside.

Buyer enablement = equipping champions to actually navigate their internal buying process.

New guide for 2025, best practices included https://t.co/YintYJIvs3

"Can you share the meeting recording?"

If your champion is asking you this, they're trying to sell for you and you've given them nothing to work with.

Over the past few months we've been going deep on buyer enablement—what your champion actually needs to move a deal through a buying committee.

@rallyspace -> One link with the demo, mutual action plan, security docs, pricing, case studies. Everything organized. No permission errors. No hunting through email.

Here's how it works 👇

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

We are adding deal rooms to Rally — so now you can give your buyer champions more than a PDF and a prayer to sell internally. Let me know what you think!

[Rally @rallyspace]

The demo went well. Your champion needs to sell internally to Finance, Legal, IT, and their VP.

You send 3 PDFs and a Loom link. Two links are broken. Finance can't open the ROI calculator.

Your champion gives up. Deal goes to "nurture."

Until...

Remember fighting over who had to use the MadCatz controller?

ModRetro's newest product is M64. The best and most authentic way to play your favorite N64 games, bar none. Prepare your wallet and brace your mind.

Launches at the same price as the original Nintendo 64. Inflation isn't nostalgic.

Vibe marketing is about to get fun with @midjourney video.

Turn image into video clip/GIF -> add text = social post.

@benemx9 @midjourney See this thread! I mix in some video game/3d lighting phrases too "global illumination, pathtracing, detailed, subsurface scattering, rim lighting"

This was awesome for scenic shots too

Been using @midjourney for slide visuals and demo placeholders and we love the vibe

PS. Our website hero also got a lil' refresh this week. More incoming.

[Rally @rallyspace]

What did you make this week?

This update is all about team show and tell:

▶️ Team Playlists: record updates with your team and share them in one place.

💬 Text Overlays: Annotate your video, just like your favorite social apps

⚡️AI Summaries: Rally Boards now extract highlights and auto-summarize content. TL;DR: Nice.

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

@ghanbak The groundbreakers SVG is ✨

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

We're tuning the AI summary prompts for different types of team playlists - so please, if you want to help us dogfood it, I'd be thrilled: https://t.co/c98HCgXdhq

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

As a remote company, we've been dogfooding this internally @rallyspace for a few weeks now for "Demo Fridays". People add videos to playlist throughout the week, AI summarizes highlights. Super easy to follow along + completely async team updates.

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

@rallyspace And of course, you can make team playlists for anything. Onboarding, upcoming releases, team updates - your whole team can add to it (or not)

[Sam Dunn @sdunn]

You can ask GPT 4o to make a gif of image evolutions — great for sharing work

@9ranty @TellaHQ @screenstudio @rallyspace @supercut_video I think we're all on quests to nail "fast casual" video gap between Adobe/OBS <> TikTok/Instagram.
