Is the Traditional CRO Dead in the Age of AI?
We had two employees that in February had already achieved the entire full year quota. Customer success needs to be a money generation function for the business. The role of a CRO is fundamentally thinking about like, not the revenues today, but the revenues of tomorrow. Let's do the things that no one is doing. That is what makes me passionate. And that is what a good CRO, I think, needs to be doing because we're not here to do easy stuff. It's like the fastest product in terms of revenues that we've ever had. It's just insane. If you want to do something, budget is never going to be a problem.
How is ElevenLabs Achieving a 20x Sales Quota?
with me, Harry Stebbings, and I'm so excited to welcome a dear friend, Carles Reina. Carles is the CRO at Eleven Labs, one of the fastest growing companies on the planet.
What Strategies Should be Used to Structure Sales Compensation Plans?
He was also one of the first investors there. He scaled the revenue org from zero to over 350 million in ARR. This is a masterclass in scaling sales in an AI-first world.
Is Customer Success a Growth Engine or 'Total BS'?
On top of that, Carles is also an incredible investor with his own solo GP fund, Baobab Ventures, which has backed the likes of Revolut and, of course, Eleven Labs in the early days. But before we dive into the show today, a quick shout out to a company I've been genuinely blown away by and have been tracking closely, Rock.

How to Forecast and Achieve a $1B Revenue Target?
And speaking of great companies, we have to talk about Monaco. For years, I've watched some of the best founders and early go-to-market teams struggle with sales. Too many CRMs, too many point solutions, too much manual work. Well, that changes with Monaco. Monaco replaces your legacy CRM and fragmented sales stack with a single AI native platform. Monaco's agents automatically build and score your entire TAM, lay in real-time signals, create and run outbound sequences, schedule calls, and record and transcribe meetings. Your pipeline practically manages itself. Monaco creates reminders, draws follow-up emails for you, and keeps deals moving forward. So that means more meetings, higher conversion rates, and faster revenue growth.
