The WORST sales call I've ever been on ($40M/year CEO)
In this candid monologue, Matt Ryder vents about a disastrous hour‑long sales meeting with Salesforce. He recounts that five Salesforce reps asked him fragmented, unrelated questions, making the conversation chaotic. When he tried to steer the discussion toward his current sales challenges, the reps offered a vague pricing proposal—first suggesting $25,000 per month, then, after mentioning an imminent departure, lowering it to $14,000 per month without clarifying what the price covered. Ryder labels the entire process as the "stupidest sales process ever," questioning how Salesforce could have achieved its multi‑billion‑dollar valuation with such a broken sales approach. The tone is angry and frustrated, emphasizing the disconnect between Salesforce’s market stature and the poor execution of its sales team.
