Jason M. Lemkin

The one hire I don't need, and none of my portfolio cos need, is a "Strategist"

I know at certain stage in many folks' career, that's what they want to do

Advise on strategy more than do work themselves

No criticism

But most startups only need a few hours of this at a time

SaaStr AI 2026 is May 12-14 in SF Bay!! See You There!!

My #1 piece of advice for GTM leaders in January 2026: Deploy an AI agent yourself.  Now.  This month.  Don't hire an agency. Don't tell someone on your team to do it.  Do it yourself.  Roll up those sleeves again. 

Deploy an AI agent into production, for real, yourself. with Lenny Rachitsky

And for junior sales & GTM folks? Embrace it. Be the one that embraces every bit of output from AI Agents.

Advisor

Goodbye spreadsheets, hello Spiff. With Spiff your commissions are automatically calculated in real time, displayed on beautiful dashboards, and integrated with your CRM. I would’ve saved countless hours as a VP Sales with this incredible new tool. Every sales org needs this.

9 months in CEO tells VP Sales if they don't hit their number they're fired.

VP Sales immediately changes from long-term strategy to short-term.

VP Sales puts aggressive pressure on their team.

VP Sales micro-manages pipeline and gives best leads to top reps.

VP Sales pushes team to be overly aggressive with prospects.

AEs call and email prospects 3x more than usual with high-pressure tactics.

Prospects get turned off.

AEs get burned out.

This scaleup just became a startup again.

Congratulations on the failure, CEO.

VP Sales never stood a chance.

Short-term pressure on executive leaders rarely helps.

It's more beneficial to build their confidence than to shatter it.

Leadership VS Dictatorship 101.

Who would've thought this lesson needs to be taught in 2026.

But it does.
