What challenges does a fully remote SaaS sales team face and why go all‑in on AI?
Welcome to the official Saster Podcast, where you can hear some of the best Saster speakers. This is where the cloud meets. Up today on the Saster Podcast.
So in this day and age, you've got to run twice as fast as you did before to keep up or even get ahead of where you thought you wanted to be. So I cut. I started cutting. I knew I had to de-bloat. Very delete, delete, delete. The path to rigor, as I like to call it, is always going to come from some traction. I go full ruthless. Some of my team members like to call me the pitfull. I go, ham. We consolidated everything into one operating system. And today I'm gonna show you that new reality. We're gonna dive into the layers of how I created visibility. Uh, and this is really where we started to see that everything changed. We've increased across our team our win rate. Seven percent in two quarters, just by creating complete clarity around how to access the things that you actually need to be disciplined within the organization.
Hey everybody, Saster Annual will be back.

Today we're gonna dive into some tactics, but also the actual layers of how I have built a remote native leadership organization and grown a company from employee number five to 150. So I'm Marshall Mooney, VP of Sales at Mangomint. We are vertical SaaS for salons and spas. And not only do we serve an SMB market, I like to say it is very SMB. So our software alone is roughly a 4,000 ACV. We also have payment processing built in. So I'll talk a bit about that. But today I'm going to show you how I built a remote revenue. Organization with such rigor that we're creeping up on a 7.2 X ARR to OTE, which is unheard of in the very SMB market. So we're gonna pop into it because the reality is AI is here to expose you.
And it's going to show your entire organization what you're good at and what you're absolutely terrible at. But the idea that the revenue's growing. But we don't actually know what's going on. Not necessarily in the day-to-day, but those things that keep you up at night. So my CEO likes to say, I only like to think about one thing in the shower. And I know if he is not deeply clued into what's happening with win rate, what's happening on the layer of if he wakes up and notices that one AE's win rate has plummeted, he needs to know where he can go without having to send me a message. So This is the real fear. Not productivity, but actual visibility into the organization. So this visibility gap has only grown since many of us, not natively, moved into remote companies over the past five years.
Some of us are hybrid. How many of you are hybrid? You've got some remote, some in office. Okay, great. I'm opening a sales office. So that might be contradictory to everything I'm saying right now, but we're going to employ the exact same rigor around that in-office experience where we're incubating BDRs into our sales team that we do in the remote revenue organization. So We need a single source of truth.
How does Marchelle define the three‑layer AI Rigor Stack (Clarity, Cadence, Co‑Pilot)?
That's true. Nobody's really got it from what I've experienced. I sat at dinner last night, but what I've heard is that meetings are happening everywhere, especially in a hybrid environment. You've got some people who are in meeting in office, you've got some trying to zoom in. All of this creates decisions that happen in people's heads in those eight inches between their ears rather than on paper. Tasks live across different tools. I like to say, if I walked into your office and I slipped you a note, you weren't in there. When you return to the office and you read the note, you're probably going to get back to me at some point or acknowledge that you received it.
