Sales Tech Stack
The sales tech stack is the integrated set of technology tools enabling B2B sales operations — CRM, sales engagement, sales intelligence, conversation intelligence, enablement, analytics — increasingly complex with 15-30+ tools at mid-market and enterprise companies.
Why This Matters
Modern B2B sales tech stack components: CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot — system of record), sales engagement (Outreach, Salesloft — outbound execution), sales intelligence (ZoomInfo, Apollo — prospect data), conversation intelligence (Gong, Chorus — call recording and analysis), enablement (Highspot, Seismic — content management), CPQ (Salesforce CPQ, Conga — quote-to-cash), and analytics (Tableau, Looker — performance reporting). Stack complexity creates integration challenges — modern revenue operations focus on data flow between tools enabling unified sales experience.
