The Revenue Formula

In Excel, Everyone Hits Quota (w/ Scott Domareck)


Listen Later

Most misses in sales are baked into the plan before the year even starts.

In this episode, Toni talks with Scott Domareck, a four-time VP of Sales who’s been through every phase of growth, exit, and burnout imaginable. Together, they break down the hidden mistakes that ruin annual planning long before execution begins.

From massaged Excel spreadsheets to unrealistic ramp times and compounding assumptions that look great to investors but kill execution, they get real about what actually happens inside revenue planning season, and how to build a plan you can actually hit.
