In this episode of the RevOpsAF podcast, co-host Matt Volm, CEO of RevOps Co-op, chats with Garrett Stanton, former sales leader at Salesforce and Okta, about why so many startups stall on the journey from $1M to $10M ARR—and how to beat the odds.
🚨 Less than 4% of SaaS companies make it through the so-called "Valley of Death." Garrett has been through it multiple times and now advises early-stage companies on how to scale go-to-market with intention and operational rigor.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
↳ Why product-market fit is a continuum, not a destination
↳ A 3-part framework for surviving the $1M–$10M ARR stage
↳ How Okta used customer language to reshape their GTM narrative
↳ Who to hire (and who not to) during high-growth
↳ Why RevOps is your growth engine—not your support function
💡 Perfect for: RevOps leaders, startup founders, early-stage GTM teams, and anyone scaling a SaaS company past its first million in revenue.
