Our Story
Lative was born out of a need to accurately measure sales teams’ true impact on business success. In our years of experience leading operations and enablement teams, we saw firsthand how organizations struggled with unreliable insights, missing the mark on sales performance and capacity. We founded Lative to provide a new way—one that centers on real, measurable contributions
Why we exist
Our mission is simple: we help companies achieve their sales goals profitably and efficiently by empowering them to make better, data-driven decisions. We believe that go to market leaders should be able to understand and improve their performance in real time, without relying on endless spreadsheets or siloed data.
The Lative advantage
Lative enables you to confidently answer the key questions that drive your sales strategy: Will we hit our number? How will we get there? And can we do it profitably? With Lative, you have the insights to optimize capacity, align resources strategically, and make informed, data-driven decisions for sustainable growth. We’re more than just a software solution; we’re a partner in your success.
