Hiring more sales reps will not fix your revenue problem in 2026 The best sales teams now aren't just hiring great closers, but engineering the whole system. Here's what that actually looks like: 📍 GTM Engineering - builds the machine Data → CRM → outreach, automated. ➡️ Stack: Clay · Reply · ZoomInfo · Clearbit · RB2B · Common Room · n8n · Make · Zapier · Grok · Claude · Perplexity ➡️ Follow: Maja Voje · Arpit Singh · Bill Stathopoulos · Douwe Wester · Dan Rosenthal · Michael Saruggia · Felix Frank ⚙️ 📍 Account Execution - runs the deals Research · multi-thread · personalize · close. ➡️ Stack: Attio · HubSpot · Salesforce · Reply · Outreach · Salesloft · Zoom · Calendly · Chili Piper · Qwilr · DocuSign · PandaDoc ➡️ Follow: Jan Benedikt Mundorf · Haris Halkic · Jonathan Molina · Douwe Wester · Alan Ruchtein · Sheriff Shahen · Jen Allen-Knuth 📍 RevOps - keeps it honest Pipeline · forecasting · alignment · process. ➡️ Stack: Close · HubSpot · Salesforce · Looker · Power BI · Tableau · Segment · Dreamdata · HockeyStack · n8n · Workato · Zapier ➡️ Follow: Jeff Ignacio · Sara McNamara · Janis Zech · Jacki Leahy 🪄 · 🐰 Jen Igartua · Jacco van der Kooij · Rosalyn Santa Elena 📍 SDRs - fills the funnel Prospect · outreach · qualify · book. ➡️ Stack: Reply · Jason AI · Cognism · LinkedIn Sales Nav · Unify · Smartlead · Clearout · FullEnrich · Findymail · Loom · Slack · Notion ➡️ Follow: Aaron Reeves · Christoph Karger · Sara Uy · Nia Secker · Luke Ross · Tom Boston · Collin Cadmus Four roles sound simple.
