The Impossible Paradox: Amanda Kahlow, CEO & Founder, 1mind

Growth is getting harder. Sales cycles are slowing down. Teams are expected to do more with less. So what happens when the old go-to-market playbooks stop working? In this RevvedUP session, Amanda Kahlow, Founder & CEO of 1mind, breaks down what she calls the Impossible Paradox: revenue is becoming more expensive to generate, while expectations for growth keep rising. Her argument is direct: you cannot fix a broken system by adding AI on top of it. Instead, Amanda introduces a new model for go-to-market transformation powered by AI-native “superhumans” that can qualify, sell, demo, and support customers across the entire lifecycle. From redefining SDRs and AEs to rethinking the entire buyer journey, this session challenges leaders to stop optimizing old workflows and start redesigning the system entirely.
