Klue

Klue is one of Canada's fastest growing tech companies for the fourth year in a row 👊 And how about that for timing... no better way to celebrate this than having the crew and all of our customers in Vancouver for our annual event, Compete Week. Getting to see our customers that are at the heart of our growth connecting with the Klue Crew and their peers was an uplifting way to see what we've built at Klue play out in real life (and not just a Zoom screen 😉) A quick pause to celebrate, but plenty in store! Check out the full list of winners at Deloitte Fast 50.

Feeling speedy today… THANK YOU to the Klue Crew, you did it again – your hard work has placed us in Deloitte’s Tech Fast 50 🤯 And it’s our 4th year in a row being listed amongst some incredible Canadian companies 🇨🇦 It fills us with a lot of pride to be a Canadian company, we know how hard the companies on this list work and to be recognized is very humbling. Cheers to fast Canadians 🏎️💨

What an amazing week last week! Thank you to the Klue team for inviting to the inaugural in person #CompeteWeek event. I can't wait to get my hands on the slides and replays to plan out how to elevate my #competitiveintelligence program plans for the future! So much to unpack! Biggest challenge will be distilling the 1001 ideas in my head into some actionable tasks 😁 Thank you! #CompeteSmarter

60% of salespeople are completely or partially wrong about the reason for losing a deal. This stat really surprised me (it’s a bit alarming, TBH). It was one of many stats I scribbled away in my notebook last week at Compete Week (hosted by Klue). I rarely take the time to go this deep on the topic of competitive enablement and win loss, and I’m starting to realize that it’s a missed opportunity. In yesterday's edition of my newsletter, I shared a full run-down of the most impactful lessons I took away from the event. Here's the tldr 👇🏻 → Own your data collection blindspots (Clara Smyth) → Connection is a competitive advantage (Emma Stratton) → Companies that consistently conduct win-loss analysis see an 18% increase in win rate (Jason Smith) → Differentiation fights commoditization (take the Moccamaster, for example) (Anthony Pierri 🎸) → If you want truthful answers from customers, you first need to build trust (Jen Doyle) Check out yesterday's edition for the detailed learnings AND 5 of my favorite slides: https://lnkd.in/g-UXc2vp

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Search, positioning the product as a direct competitor to Google. We broke down their GTM strategy 👇

Klue knocked it out of the park with their first in-person Compete Week in Vancouver last week. The agenda was chock-a-block full of amazing CI content and speakers, and Adam McQueen and Katie Berg did a great job emceeing the two days of sessions. It was so much fun to be a part of "The Things We Wish We Knew About Compete" panel with my friends Alysse Nockels, Huzeifa Adamally and Jay Nakagawa (yes, champagne was involved) that turned into so much more than just reminiscing. Compete Week gave me the chance to meet new people as well as so many people IRL I've known via Zoom and LI for years - Benjamin Gaudet, Jenn Delconte, Ryan Sorley, Adam Houghton, Dejan Gajsek🤘, Mara Konrad, Mindy Regnell to name a few, as well as to connect with old friends like Zaven Gabriel, Jason Smith, Clara Smyth, Patrick Wall, Alex Cook and Matt K., to name a few more. I am looking forward to Compete Week 2025 - who doesn't want to visit Vancouver, eh?!?

Is it normal to have nostalgia even though Compete Week wrapped up only two days ago...? A few of the different faces bringing the Compete community coming together IRL here in Vancouver 🫶 You can check out more pics of the event in the Compete Network community, and the countdown for next year has already started ⏳

All good things can become LinkedIn posts. As I’m still soaking up everything I learned and figuring out how to fold the new knowledge into my work, there’s one thing I know will stick: the people and the moments we shared. Mindy: Thank you for letting me touch the 2025’s champion quilt. Clara: "I am the beep, beep, beep" will be my daily mantra before opening the laptop. Dustin: I'm glad your son chose track and not the other thing that rhymes with it. Zaven: Who knew a person could make the supply chain sound exciting!   Alysse: Did we actually briefly meet, or did I dream this part up? Thank you Klue crew for organizing the Compete Week. Kelly, Hunter, Morgan, Jenn - you were the best audience for my questionable humor. Matt - thank you for setting me up with the swag! And bossman Dejan - thank you for following through on that intrusive thought to invite me along for the ride. P.S.: Can anyone spot a beautiful healthy competition story in one of my photos? Here’s a klue: None of them are fans of Postscript.

What a week of insights and uplifting conversations! Kat Vaughan and I got to pour into our product marketing team plans while partnering with industry peers in fruitful sessions at Klue's Compete Week. Our cups are full. Connections have been made. The wheels of inspiration are turning. The vision and mission have never been clearer. What a way to put a bow on 2024's business travel - yes, I'm ending the adventures and when the wheels touch down, I'll settle in for November & December!

Just spent a couple of days with 150+ closest friends at Klue's Compete Week in Vancouver. Shared the stage on a panel with Alysse Nockels, Huzeifa Adamally, and Tracy Berry who are not only special friends but also notable competitive intelligence practitioners. Thanks Jason Smith, Katie Berg, Adam McQueen and the great team at Klue for having us! Great seeing old friends and making new ones at this conference.
