Today HockeyStack is launching BLUEPRINTS. Our biggest product release to date. Here’s how it works:

Pipeline isn’t random. Each segment has millions of different paths to different stages of your funnel. HockeyStack’s BLUEPRINTS gives you the map to what is generating pipeline and what to do next.

For the last 3 years, our customers have been describing this feature in different ways like Recipes, Golden Paths or Blueprints.

They all wanted to see what are the patterns across millions of journeys in different segments and know what to do next to reliably build pipeline.

Starting today, they can with Blueprints.

If you struggled with understanding your Blueprints in 2025, Blueprints can help you retroactively figure it out for 2026.

Here’s how it works:

1. Map your Business segments
2. Map your scoring models
3. Start getting Blueprint data completed with actionable next steps for each Segment
4. Take action on all next steps automatically with HockeyStack Workflows

CRO @ HockeyStack | AI Agents for Account Intelligence and Marketing Reporting

Q4 started as one of our worst quarters ever. Then we hit 60% the first month, 120% the second and 250% the third. Closing more revenue than all of 2024. Here are 5 hard won GTM lessons I’m bringing into 2026:

1. Speed and a good sales experience > obsessing over sales process

Responding fast and giving a really good sales experience is almost always more helpful than obsessing over process details. 95% of our win/loss interviews say we were the best in sales process, and it made a difference in prospects’ decision.

2. Senior hires expose more problems than they solved (at first)

Founders (including me) think they will hire an exec, and their 30-60-90 will be all about solving urgent problems. But hiring execs expose 10x more problems than they solve, slow you down, and make you uncomfortable for at least a quarter. 

That’s why you hired them. You need to find a way to keep the momentum high while fixing the problems that you weren’t aware of. You can’ just go solve problems for a quarter and hope the momentum is there when you get back.

3. Maintaining a high bar is a daily struggle

With AI changing shit so fast, you cannot rely on monthly/quarterly performance reviews, win/loss analysis, or business review. You need maintain an extremely high bar across talent, product, GTM, etc. EVERY SINGLE DAY to win in 2026.

4. A top 3 priority for the GTM team is keeping up the company momentum

GTM teams don’t just build pipeline and close deals. They fire up the entire team. GTM leaders need to focus on consistent wins and have top-tier internal comms (sharing as much as possible on Slack about wins, allowing ICs to showcase how they won deals against competitors) to keep all teams motivated and fired up at all times. If the GTM team loses momentum, all teams lose momentum.

5. I’m stupid for not building out Revops properly 1 year early

I never truly understood RevOps’ daily impact on revenue until we hired Albert W.. We were brute forcing our way to revenue without a foundation for so long it just started feeling normal to have all types of operational problems. We are starting 2026, with a much cleaner foundation than last quarter. And now with Alex Choi joining the RevOp team we are unstoppable.

Q4 was unlike anything I’ve experienced. It was a roller coaster.

Everything from hitting our annual target a month early to closing our largest customer, it was truly exceptional.

Pumped for 2026!
