Don’t forget to shed light on your c-suite partners and sales team, too. -  Marketers can't create messaging and think they're done. It's important to follow through and focus on generating leads, opportunities, and ultimately sales.  - “I think a company can be successful without creating a movement. I no longer think a company can be wildly successful without creating a movement or if they can, it will be for only a period of time.” - Kris Bondi  - “It's no longer us and them. It's more of we're all in this together, we're all going along on this journey and you can buy things from me along the way, but we're all going on this journey and if we end up that you are not buying from me, you still will learn things along the way. You can still get excited.” - Kris Bondi Bio: Kris Bondi is currently the CMO of LogDNA, a company that empowers organizations with a fast, scalable, secure way to centralize machine data, gain real-time insights, and pinpoint issues.
