In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Chris Vik, CRO at Leapwork, to discuss the critical role of pipeline generation (PG) in both sales and recruiting. Chris challenges the notion that PG is dead, emphasizing the relentless effort required from leaders to inspect, inspire, and engage their teams. He also highlights the importance of leaders taking ownership of recruitment rather than outsourcing it, ensuring they build high-performing teams. Tune in to learn why getting “in the pit” with your reps is essential and how to recruit top talent—even as a lesser-known company.
