New Go-to-Market Resources 🌟

Earlier this month, we introduced the Beta version of ChatStage2, a go-to-market chatbot 🎉

ChatStage2 is powered by sources from Stage 2 Capital, our LP network, and other top go-to-market thought leaders, providing real-time, 24/7 guidance. Users get tailored responses to questions like:

👥 Who's the perfect fit for my first sales hire?

📈 Which demand generation channel suits my business best?

🔄 How can I gauge the effectiveness of my customer renewal strategy?

📊 What KPIs should I focus on for unstoppable revenue growth?
