Rory, CEO of trumpet, catches up with Mark Goldberger, Head of Enterprise at Ramp.
"I think that anyone who is being really, successful in this market without having the best tool out there or the, the best product out there is doing something really great and I think anyone who's leading an org like that is, is worth your time and worth everyone to, to listen. Because it is hard out there, it's hard.
And so that means we just, we have to work harder, smarter, better, faster. And if you do those things, man, does it pay dividends? Because this macro environment is not going to last forever. There, there will be, the sun will come out tomorrow. And that means that everything you're doing today to strengthen is going to serve you so well down the road."
The true measure of success in challenging times
I've witnessed firsthand the ebb and flow of market conditions. What's become increasingly clear is that true success isn't solely about having the best tools or products—it's about how you navigate the choppy waters of a tough market.
The power of adaptability
Those who are thriving without the cushion of superior tools are the ones we should be watching closely. They've mastered the art of adaptability and demonstrate a level of grit that's truly commendable. At trumpet, we've learned that success often lies in how you use your resources, not just in the resources themselves.
Working smarter, not just harder
The current market demands more from us—we need to work harder, smarter, better, and faster. It's not just about putting in more hours; it's about maximising every minute, every interaction, and every opportunity. This approach isn't just about surviving; it's about laying the groundwork for future success.
Building for a brighter tomorrow
While the current macro environment is challenging, it's crucial to remember that it's temporary. The efforts we make today to strengthen our businesses, our teams, and ourselves will pay dividends when the market inevitably turns. By focusing on continuous improvement and innovation, we're not just weathering the storm—we're building a stronger ship.
