Qualified closes record-breaking year with 800% revenue growth

FY21: A year of momentum

Qualified just wrapped our Fiscal Year 2021 on January 31st. It's safe to say FY21 was a banner year as we experienced growth across every part of our business. Looking back, a few major highlights come to mind: we secured our Series A Funding, made key executive hires, tripled the size of our team, welcomed enterprise hitters to our customer roster, and achieved 800% year over year revenue growth and a 175% net revenue retention rate. What a year.

Thank you to our customers‍

None of this would have been possible without you, our customers. Thank you. You are incredible. You rode the wave with us this year. You tackled conversational sales and marketing head-on, and delivered feedback that helped shape new features, lay the vision for our roadmap, and push us to deliver our best products and services. 

The corporate website––the new place to sell

We entered FY21 bright-eyed, and like every other business, we had to take a beat and watch the world’s events unfold. In that moment, we saw a shift. It was a tipping point, one that forever changed the way B2B companies buy and sell. We saw companies ditch their old strategies, and embrace digital channels. We saw them rework budgets and invest in new tactics.  

As in-person meetings and events went out the window, B2B companies needed new ways for sales teams to meet with buyers. Many companies went back to the drawing board to answer the question “How can we use our digital channels to connect with buyers and generate more pipeline?” This dialogue shifted the focus to the corporate website, and revenue teams realized its untapped potential. The conclusion? The website is no longer just a place for marketing. It’s now the place for selling. It’s the place for sales teams to meet with target buyers at the exact right moment they’re looking to connect. It’s the place for conversations.  

We always knew that conversational sales and marketing was the future, but it turns out, the future is now.
