  • #609 - How to Hire SDRs Who Are Actually Built for the Job | Sam Nelson

    Sam Nelson breaks down how elite SDR leaders hire, onboard, and motivate reps to build consistently high-performing teams. Learn the interview signals that predict top performers, how to structure a 90-day SDR ramp, and the incentives that actually keep reps motivated.

    Armand Farrokh breaks down the system he used to build a high-performing SDR organization, fixing culture, installing operating rhythms, sharpening targeting, and creating repeatable hiring and messaging processes.


    ⚡ Fix the energy first: Create buy-in, make tough personnel decisions fast, and build visible momentum.

    📅 Install five weekly rhythms: Use Monday commitments, Tuesday and Thursday teardowns, Wednesday 1:1s, and Friday team dials to drive accountability, coaching, and culture.


    🎯 Fix targeting before activity: Get reps focused on the right accounts and personas before demanding more calls, emails, or better copy.


    🧠 Build simple systems that compound: Standardize calls, emails, sequences, and hiring, then improve them through real market feedback.

  • #605 - How to Build a Cleaner Sales Pipeline in the Age of AI | Stevie Case

    Stevie Case breaks down how modern sales leaders can use AI, clean CRM data, and human judgment to inspect pipeline, improve sales forecasting, and rethink outbound strategy.


    Learn how to separate real pipeline from automated outreach “slop,” uncover what your best reps are doing differently, and build practical AI sales workflows without waiting on engineering.


    🧱 Clean your data before layering on AI. Put governance around accounts, contacts, and opportunities so your AI systems are analyzing reality instead of CRM slop.


    🔍 Inspect before you correct. When a rep misses activity benchmarks, figure out what they’re actually doing and whether they’ve discovered a better play before simply demanding more calls or emails.


    🤖 Use AI to inspect deals, not replace sales leaders. Pull qualification evidence directly from call transcripts, surface gaps automatically, then use human-led forecasts to investigate the areas that need judgment.


    🛠️ Start building instead of waiting for engineering. Block a few hours to create a simple Clay signaling or pipeline workflow yourself. The fastest way for sales leaders to become competent with AI is to actually use it.

  • #604 - Upsell & Expansion Masterclass: 7 Lever to Grow Any Account

    Most account managers wait for upsell opportunities. Mark Kosoglow and Armand Farrokh break down how great AMs create expansion pipeline by proving value, owning executive relationships, and systematically finding whitespace across their accounts.


    🎯 Create expansion pipeline through value: Treat value delivery like prospecting: identify the executive outcome, deliver the proof, communicate it back, then earn the right to uncover what’s next.


    🤝 Own the executive relationship: Partner with your CSM to keep execution on track while you stay above the weeds, connect the work to executive priorities, and turn customer success into expansion opportunities.


    📈 Map whitespace with 7 expansion levers: Look for product attachment, scope expansion, and commercial changes, then activate them through new use cases, modernization, consolidation, and M&A or organizational change.

  • #603 - How to Partner with Exec Assistants to Tilt Enterprise Deals in Your Favor | Laura McDonald

    Laura McDonald breaks down how to multithread enterprise deals, reach the C-suite, and build buying committee consensus without getting trapped with one champion. Learn how to leverage executive assistants, map the real power base, and neutralize blockers before they kill your deal.


    🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


    🪑 Build the three-legged stool: Get every critical stakeholder group to “green” instead of treating enterprise deals like a linear sales process.


    🤝 Sell the executive meeting: Broker peer-to-peer introductions between executives instead of asking the C-suite to meet with another salesperson.


    🗺️ Map the real power base: Whiteboard the org with your champion to uncover who matters, who has influence, and who you still need to win over.


    🚧 Neutralize blockers fast: Find out why they’re blocking, how much influence they have, and either win them over or build enough support around them to overpower their veto.

  • #602 - My Exact Prospecting Process That Got Me To President's Club 3X (Live Screenshare)

    Three-time President’s Club winner Charlotte Johnson breaks down the exact prospecting process she uses to work her territory, prioritize the right accounts, and consistently build pipeline. She shares how she segments accounts, researches Tier 1 prospects, leverages signals and partners, writes messaging, and organizes her calendar so prospecting actually gets done.


    🎯 Segment your territory by effort: Divide accounts into Signals, Tier 1s, and Volume so your time and personalization match the opportunity.

    🤝 Use every path into Tier 1 accounts: Combine account research with internal connections, channel partners, previous conversations, and relevant trigger points to create warmer ways in.

    📅 Turn prospecting into protected calendar blocks: Decide exactly which accounts you’ll work, link the necessary notes, time-box the activity, and treat prospecting time like a customer meeting.
