With all the doom and gloom on Twitter, you could be forgiven for thinking SaaS customers have somehow evaporated.

And perhaps they will.  But not today.  Not today.

Kyle Porter, CEO of Salesloft, was kind enough to share that well into nine figures of ARR, they are not only growing 53%, but hit the plan early for this quarter — and are seeing no signs of any slowdown, at least not yet.
