We hear a lot these days about project-based organizations vs. product-based organizations. Much of what we do in software is in service of products. Products tend to evolve over time.

Today we’re publishing a brand new, four-part series on sales – The Sales Handbook. Sales is the lifeblood of every business. Without it, you have no way of acquiring new customers, upselling existing ones or of driving predictable, scalable revenue.

In 2012 we wanted to connect all those communities and share even bigger lessons, so we started a conference in London.
