How B2B Software Companies Are Selling Right Now — frequently asked questions

How can we leverage partnerships to accelerate pipeline?

Many firms are prioritizing embedded integrations and marketplace listings (e.g., Gong on Microsoft Marketplace, Expensify’s MCP) to reach new buyers. Sales teams should align with partners that offer consumption commitments or AI assistant integrations to expand reach.

What do positioning shifts mean for our sales messaging?

Rebranding and category creation (e.g., Velocity Global to Pebl, Cybereason to LevelBlue) signal a move toward ecosystem-wide value. Sales messaging should emphasize how your solution fits into a broader AI-first or managed-services narrative.
