From the episode: Developer Focused Go To Market Strategy at Twilio (With Arthur Johnson And Yasmin Razavi)

Answer

Twilio separated their sales teams into Hunters and Farmers. One group of sales people were tasked to find new leads, while the other were solely focused to upsell their existing base. That strategy, combined with marketing focused around specific enterprise pain points, was what enabled Twilio to transition from individual developers and move into enterprise.
