Today I'm excited to introduce Keyplay Org Insights. ๐ฏ Itโs a new way to understand the size and density of any team, role, or function within your accounts. For example, I'm tracking the size of AE, SDR, and Rev Ops teams. I can now segment and prioritize my target accounts based on this kind of data:๐ Then I have custom signals for account scoring like this: I've been wanting to build something like this for a long time. While doing ICP work with our customers, Iโve noticed that headcount often doesnโt correlate with fit. If you sell to a specific function, you need org details. You want to understand the specific function, role, or team that you serve.
Keyplay Org Insights uncovers the next level, customized for you. From a PeerSignal research perspective Iโm excited about this because it will unlock benchmarks and deeper insights about how to build a modern GTM org. For example letโs look at sales headcount across a sample of B2B Software companies with 500-2500 employees. Each company is plotted on this chart: From this analysis, we see that sales teams at B2B software companies of this size are typically 8-17% of total headcount with a median of ~12%. This is just an example of the kind of research we plan to explore, but I hope that itโs illustrative for how we can use the new data. This opens the door for 3 big research questions about modern GTM org:
Next newsletter, Iโm going to dig into the Rev Ops and Marketing Ops functions from this perspective. Anything youโd like to see us tackle with this new data?

Personal update: Katie is back (katie@keyplay.io). Please consider asking her how proven ICP principles + Keyplay = your best accounts for outbound & ABM. ๐ฏ๐ Ok, now that I fired myself from the sales team, this newsletter is about the SDR in 2024... The SDR/AE model has been the standard for B2B sales teams. Since Aaron Ross published the playbook in 2011, SaaS leaders have studied and practiced the "Predictable Revenue" model from seed to scale. But, only 9% of our 479 survey respondents...
Before diving into today's analysis, could you quickly hit reply with โgot itโ so I can confirm deliverability? I made some DNS tweaks and want to make sure big tech still puts us in the inbox. ๐ค๐๐ค G2 published their Spring 2024 grid reports last week. I was excited to see Keyplay land as a High Performer in our first grid with 4.8/5 stars, amongst the highest satisfaction in our category. This got me wanting better understand the top companies on G2 -- who they are, how they go-to-market,...
Did you hear that LinkedIn Sales Insights (LSI) is shutting down this year?! ๐ข If you are an LSI customer, we've got something to fill the void at Keyplay. Talk to me about a free POC and then you can be the judge. ๐งโ๏ธโจ Last time I shared RevOps org benchmarks. We found that B2B Software companies have 1 RevOps headcount for every 12 sales reps and showed how that varies by size/stage. Today we looked at RevOps hiring data... Not surprisingly, RevOps is way down the list of GTM roles when it...
