Dean Yates reposted thisDean Yates reposted thisWhat are you being asked to prove right now? Most CPOs are sitting in a difficult reality: Boards and CFOs are demanding "AI results," yet teams remain stretched and significant spend remains unmanaged. Generic AI tools were deployed, but for many, the progress has stalled. You need a credible, data-backed answer for your next conversation with the Board. At Keelvar, we don't lead with promises; we lead with proof: - 200x average ROI in 1 year across our customer base - 80% reduction in sourcing cycle times - 85% of sourcing events in Keelvar are agent-operated This isn't a new product announcement – this is the track record of agentic sourcing that was already happening at Keelvar before we called it that.

Dean Yates reposted thisDean Yates reposted thisFantastic insights from ProcureTEX recently, where the conversation was led by procurement practitioners. I came back with further validation that digital transformation in procurement is accelerating, driven by practical AI applications and the imperative for seamless system interoperability. The focus is now on execution efficiency, intelligent orchestration, and a fundamental shift in workforce skills. Three major shifts procurement leaders must address today: 1️⃣ Agentic AI which can break down complex processes into smaller, specialized tasks handled by interconnected bots, offers a powerful path to high-quality outcomes, especially with complex data.. 2️⃣ Orchestration is becoming non-negotiable and stand-alone systems are becoming an impediment. The future demands Procurement Orchestration—seamlessly interconnected systems that feed data and intelligence to AI agents. When systems talk to each other, they simplify complex processes for users, ensure high compliance, and deliver better business outcomes. 3️⃣ The New Competitive Edge is Talent + Data with most of execution being automated, where is the competitive advantage? It's in training the AI to deliver optimal outcomes. We must start treating AI as a "critical employee" and allocate our best talent to data stewardship and AI training. The human role is shifting from transaction processing to insight translation for activating the right business levers. We must evolve quickly, growing confidence in interpreting data, challenging assumptions, and communicating strategic insights. Our training models must follow suit as current training methods will become obsolete. This is a fundamental shift in our operating model. How are you preparing your teams and your tech stack for the age of human-agent hybrid collaboration? Thank you Alan Holland and Vel Dhinagaravel along with Zip for conceptualising and realising this fantastic event. I enjoyed being there along with Sourav Das.

Dean Yates liked thisDean Yates liked thisIt was a pleasure to be back at the World Procurement Congress in London. I’ve finally had a moment to reflect on the insightful conversations and the energy from so many peers and leaders. The congress reinforced a central theme: while Agentic AI is set to rewire our function, its success hinges on building a rock-solid foundation today. A huge thank you to Procurement Leaders | A World 50 Group Community for inviting me to speak on the main stage keynote panel: "3 Days. 3 Months. 3 Years. How Agentic AI Will Rewire Procurement." It was an honor to share the stage with Ludovica Lardera, Diego Barillà, Bahige El-Rayes, and our moderator, David Rae. I'm also grateful to Zip for inviting me to co-lead a Procurement Excellence workshop, "Assessing transformation readiness: Building the foundation for AI-powered procurement," with Michael Rooney. We had a fantastic discussion on what AI readiness truly looks like in practice. Here are my consolidated reflections from both sessions: 1. The 3-Year Vision: From Digitization to Delegation In a world shaped by geopolitical shifts, our goal is no longer just savings; it’s about building a competitive edge. Agentic AI will be the key to moving at the speed of the market, making procurement a real-time, strategic capability that drives business acceleration and resilience. Our suppliers are also on this journey, and deep collaboration will be critical for mutual success. 2. The 3-Month Action Plan: Fixing the Fundamentals The journey starts with targeted investments in our biggest pain points—manual processes, disconnected systems, and data gaps. For us in Mars Procurement, the 90-day AI priorities are clear: Contract Intelligence: To embed compliance by design and prevent value leakage. Process Orchestration: To connect our tools and create a seamless user experience. Automating Tail Spend: To manage the long tail of over 15,000 indirect suppliers and free up our teams. 3. The 3-Day Reality: Proving the Value Today The impact of this foundational work is already clear. We are seeing real value in hours saved, stronger compliance, and a better user experience for everyone. Our partnership with Keelvar has been a key enabler, with autonomous sourcing bots now running 50% of our indirect sourcing events. Alan Holland Since launching our first orchestration workflow with Zip in November 2025, 50% of our Mars Inc spend across direct and indirect procurement now flows through the system, giving us an audit-ready trail and a new level of process visibility. In the age of AI, the greatest risk isn’t moving too fast; it’s being left behind while the market changes around you. We must focus on building the foundation—people, process, and data—to earn the right to scale. What were your biggest takeaways from the congress? How are you approaching the agentic AI shift in your organization? #WPC2026 #Procurement #AI #AgenticAI #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #SupplyChain #Leadership #Orchestration

Dean Yates reacted on thisDean Yates reacted on thisSome posts are harder to write than others...and this is definitely one of them! After 8 unforgettable years, I'm closing out my journey at Rubrik. How do I even begin to do this place and its amazing people justice?! Well... I'll try 😝 I still vividly remember my very first Caltrain commute down to the old office on Page Mill as a kid from the East Coast. I stepped off the train and was flooded with a sense of awe, thinking “I can’t believe I’m actually working for a unicorn startup in Silicon Valley!!” 🤩🤯 Back then, Rubrik was under $100M ARR. Today– after 8 years, 3 different roles, 2 international moves, one massive IPO and more incredible friendships than I can quantify– I still feel that exact same awe and appreciation for this company, the people that placed bets on me, and the opportunity to have been a part of its story. 🚀 There is a unique alchemy at Rubrik. Always has been. The collective intelligence in every room forces everyone to sharpen their thinking and be bolder. This place and its people challenged and trusted me to grow and push the boundaries in ways I never thought possible. I close out this chapter with a huuuge smile on my face (and ok a few tears too) mostly because we had an absolute HECK of a lot of fun building together along the way! Oh maaaan the friendships and storiesss..! There’s too many I can’t even begin to list them, but to all of you who were a part of the late night launch QAs, the piano and karaoke bar serenades, the two-stepping fiascos, tuktuk rides, newspaper kiosk runs, go kart crashes, acapella restaurant takeovers, presentation prep music parties, limoncello tastings, QBRs, offsites, SKOs and so much more over the years, I’m sure you have some of the same memories I do 💙 💫 To the unparalleled Global Field, Partner, and Strategic Account Marketing Team, Rubrik MLT, and all the leaders, mentors, business partners, and teammates past and present who placed their bets on me, taught me soooo crazy much and rolled up their sleeves with me over these 8 years: you are absolute legends. I am so grateful to so many of you for the trust and deeply proud of what we've built. I can only hope the world is as small as they say and that we’ll cross paths again and until then you all are going to continue to crush it!! 🫶 While I may no longer be a Rubrikan on paper, I will always have that teal in my veins and will be cheering this company and everyone in it the loudest from the sidelines! I cannot wait to see the Rubrik teal above even higher mountain tops!

Traditional sales systems were designed to track performance. Modern sales teams need systems that improve performance. There is a difference. Tracking tells you what happened. Guidance helps you change what happens next. Legacy sales models rely on dashboards, manual prioritisation, and late-stage intervention. By the time action happens, value is often already lost. Sales 2.0 uses AI to change that dynamic. → Forecasts become proactive signals, not retrospective updates. → Dashboards become decision tools, not passive reporting layers. → Coaching becomes personalised development aligned to performance outcomes. → Data becomes real-time commercial guidance embedded in every seller action. At Priorise, we help organisations build AI-enabled sales operating models that turn data into faster execution and stronger revenue performance. #SalesTechnology #AI #SalesTransformation #RevenueOperations

Most sales teams track the wrong metrics. They watch call volume and email count — then wonder why quota attainment stays stuck. Sales enablement KPIs are different. They measure whether your training, content, and tools are actually working before the damage shows up in revenue. The metrics that matter most: Quota attainment rate reveals whether your enablement investments are paying off, or whether reps are failing for systematic reasons. Ramp-to-productivity time benchmarks how fast new hires start closing. Top teams get there in 60-90 days. Average teams take twice as long. Video watch completion rate is one of the most accurate buying-intent signals available. A prospect who watches 80%+ of your video and clicks the CTA is your hottest lead right now. Meeting-to-opportunity conversion shows whether reps are booking meetings with the right people. If it drops below 50%, the problem is ICP fit, not volume. Win rate by rep exposes your coaching opportunities faster than any other metric. Full breakdown in the article below.

Our take: This represents an opportunity for revenue organisations to tighten alignment between sales and presales, reduce friction and accelerate close cycles with consistent, insight-driven product stories.

"Do more with less." Sound familiar? It’s the reality every presales team is facing. But the real risk isn’t resource strain. It’s losing visibility and control over the buyer journey. In today’s market, the pressure is on with more prospects, fewer resources, and faster cycles. But here’s the kicker: "AI isn’t collapsing your sales cycle, it’s taking a part of it out of your visibility and control." That’s the shift we’re seeing. Presales is being pulled earlier into the process. Not just to show features, but to shape the story. The real question isn’t "How do we do more with less?" It’s "How do we stay relevant and help our buyers solve real problems?" Watch the clip with Ron Whitson 🎾 to hear more about how modern presales teams are adapting and why it matters.

Presales Leader

We’ve learned something over the last year working with dozens of companies: Presales isn’t just a support function — it’s a growth driver. When you embed strong SEs into the sales process, three things happen: 1️⃣ Discovery gets deeper 2️⃣ Demos get sharper 3️⃣ Deals get bigger That’s not theory — we’ve seen it play out across multiple industries, partner types, and sales cycles. It’s why Presales as a Service continues to deliver serious ROI for our clients — without the overhead of full-time hiring or the lag of long ramp-up times. We’re grateful for the companies that have trusted us to be part of their go-to-market motion. And we’re just getting started. #PresalesThatPerforms #PSaaS #TechnologyLeader #SalesGrowth #B2BSaaS #PresalesLeader

Are your sales leaders spending more time on manual call scoring than coaching? Over the past few months, we spoke with hundreds of sales and presales leaders who run complex demos with lean teams. They record calls and score them manually to improve coaching. It results in a small team spending days manually identifying the right calls, watching lengthy recordings, and updating scorecards. By the time they finish, deals have moved on, and reps barely get any guidance for their next calls. Offload this work to AI scorecards that are based on sales methodologies like MEDDICC, SPIN, or BANT. This saves your team over two days of manual review as they can scan the scores, see which parameters are low, and align coaching. Want to see where you stand? Run a simple check this week and track how many hours each manager spends on scoring versus coaching. #salescoaching #AIscorecards #avoma #conversationintelligence
