#RevenueUnscripted #JennicaDixon #SalesLeadership #RevenueGrowth #B2BSales #SalesStrategy #SalesPerformance #ForecastAccuracy #SalesManagement #RevenueLeaders #FounderInsights #SalesCoaching #MarginProtection #SalesDifferentiation #RevenueOptimization Revenue Unscripted is the podcast where sales fiction meets reality. Hosted by Jennica Dixon, President of Slattery Sales Group, this show pulls back the curtain on what really drives revenue growth in complex B2B sales environments. Through candid 30-45 minute conversations with founders, CEOs, and revenue leaders, Jennica explores the real stories behind sales challenges, breakthrough moments, and the blind spots that quietly drain growth, margin, and valuation. Jennica brings over 40 years of combined client experience working with more than 2,400 companies across 170 industries. Her firm specializes in behavior-based sales transformation, helping organizations turn unpredictable pipelines into reliable revenue engines. From forecast accuracy and margin protection to sales team performance and competitive differentiation, Revenue Unscripted tackles the messy realities of human selling that traditional sales training glosses over. Whether you're a founder scaling your first sales team, a CRO rebuilding forecast credibility with the board, or a revenue leader trying to protect margins while accelerating growth, Revenue Unscripted delivers practical insights from leaders who've faced the same battles.

What happens to B2B sales when AI starts buying on behalf of buyers? Vince Burruano, fractional sales leader, consultant, and author of A Daily Dose of Sales Wisdom, joins Revenue Unscripted to dig into the future of the sales profession and why the human element isn't going anywhere. With nearly 30 years leading sales teams across the moving and office technology industries, Vince brings a sharp, practical perspective on what separates elite sales professionals from the rest - and what leaders need to do right now to protect and grow the value of their sales teams.
From the psychology of buyer resistance to the cultural cost of tolerating toxic top performers, this conversation covers ground that every sales leader and CEO needs to hear. Vince and Jennica explore how AI and RFP-driven procurement are accelerating commoditization, why hiring for cultural fit and intellectual curiosity matters more than ever, and how the sales professionals who do the unglamorous fundamentals consistently will be the ones who thrive as the landscape shifts.

Key Takeaways:

Handwritten notes and thank you cards still differentiate sales professionals in ways that digital communication simply cannot replicate
Asking permission to take notes during a sales meeting slows the conversation down in a good way and signals genuine listening
AI will increasingly sit between sales professionals and real decision-makers, making it critical to sell through and past procurement gatekeepers
The transactional sale has largely been absorbed by digital channels - if you're not selling something complex and relationship-driven, price will always win
Ultra high performers do all the small things consistently that average performers skip
Cultural toxicity from a top performer is never free - what you tolerate, you signal is acceptable
People don't change until the benefit of changing outweighs the perceived cost by at least 2x
Sales professionals who operate like true business professionals - bringing industry insight, preparation, and genuine curiosity - will be the ones AI cannot replace
Culture is not what's in the employee handbook; it's what people do when no one is watching

Most salespeople lose deals by talking too much about their product. Michael Galloway, Region Vice President at EnableComp, reveals why people write checks to solve pain, not chase upside, and how asking the right questions early can save months of wasted effort in complex healthcare sales cycles.
Michael shares his journey from reading the Wall Street Journal in middle school to becoming an elite enterprise seller who thinks like an owner. He explains why competing against inertia is harder than competing against other vendors, how to guide prospects through change without calling them incompetent, and the counterintuitive strategy of going for the no as early as possible to protect your most valuable asset: selling time.
Key topics:

Selling to solve pain versus selling upside
Competing against status quo and inertia
Asking business-appropriate challenging questions
Protecting seller time and opportunity cost
Thinking like an owner in sales
Healthcare revenue cycle management
Complex enterprise sales strategies
Avoiding unpaid consulting while being consultative
Scaling revenue without scaling meetings
Building sustainable company valuation through sales

When you're selling to hedge fund managers and quants who are smarter than you, traditional sales tactics fall flat. Farah Ruthnam-Sandys, Head of Sales at Neudata, reveals how she built a high-performing sales team that competes against inertia in the alternative data intelligence space without needing to outthink their prospects.

Farah shares her unconventional path from supporting her mom's food business to leading revenue across the Americas for a market-leading data intelligence platform. She explains why humility beats knowledge in complex sales, how to help prospects see problems they never planned to solve, and the single question that reveals whether a deal will actually close.

Key topics:
- Selling to highly technical and intelligent buyers
- Competing against status quo when you're the market leader
- Building sales teams that don't rely on technical expertise
- The power of humility in enterprise sales
- Transitioning from individual contributor to sales leader
- Value selling versus relationship selling
- Training sales teams for complex B2B deals
- Building a sales function versus relying on star salespeople

Kevin Onarecker spent 30 years rebuilding broken sales teams in med tech and pharma, and he'll tell you straight: when leaders say "we just need to close more," they're missing everything. 

After leading sales orgs from rep to VP, Kevin reveals why promoting your top performer destroys teams, how Fortune 500 companies train customers to expect discounts, and the brutal math that makes quota-setting either your secret weapon or your biggest liability. He breaks down why confident reps who "porpoise" (up one year, down the next) don't actually have a plan, how one executive killed a deal by offering a discount too early, and why the best sellers radiate quiet confidence instead of cockiness. This isn't about motivation speeches or ABC (Always Be Closing). It's about the assumptions hiding in your recurring revenue model and why your top three accounts might be producing 60% of territory revenue while you're spread across 150 hospitals.
Key takeaways:

Quota-setting is make-or-break - bad assumptions about recurring revenue and customer retention destroy forecasts and kill morale
Top performers bring attitude first, then knowledge and skills - hire for resilience and self-confidence that comes from preparation, not ego
The optimal sales team size is driven by what managers can actually coach - focus on the 3-5 accounts producing 50-60% of revenue, not spreading thin across 150
Reps miss quota because they lack strategic plans - break annual goals into monthly benchmarks and reverse-engineer the behaviors required
Discounting without strategy trains customers to wait for deals and crushes your math - it takes more than 25% additional revenue to overcome a 25% discount

Why does promoting your top salesperson to manager usually backfire? Paul Fuller, CRO at Membrain, has watched this pattern destroy sales orgs across 80+ countries. He reveals how Fortune 500 companies massage forecasts through three layers of Excel because nobody trusts their CRM, why call volume and email metrics are mostly theater, and the exact team size where coaching actually works. Paul breaks down the difference between vanity metrics and real progress indicators, how founders accidentally crush margins by swooping in to "help" close deals, and why your sales system might be designed to collect data instead of helping reps actually sell. Whether you're making your first sales hire or wondering why revenue feels unpredictable, this conversation will change how you build your sales organization.
Key takeaways:

Stop measuring vanity metrics like call volume - focus on actual conversations and first meetings that move deals forward
The optimal sales team size is 5-6 reps per manager, anything more and coaching quality collapses
Your CRM should help reps sell, not just collect data for executives - if reps avoid using it, that's your answer
Sales leaders must hold themselves accountable to weekly one-on-ones as a KPI, not just revenue numbers
Define three client commitment milestones to create accurate forecasts without spreadsheet gymnastics

When Steve Craig's father drove him through the wealthiest neighborhood in town and revealed that most residents were salespeople, it planted a seed that would shape his entire career philosophy. Now as VP of Sales at Solmedics, Steve shares hard-won wisdom about what actually builds championship sales teams—and it's not what most leaders think.

The uncomfortable truth? Your obsession with hiring A-players might be sabotaging your team's success. Steve breaks down why cohesive teams of solid B-players consistently outperform collections of individual stars, drawing parallels from championship sports teams to Navy SEAL units. The difference comes down to role clarity, discipline in the basics, and a willingness to make teammates better rather than chase individual glory.

This conversation challenges conventional sales leadership wisdom at every turn. Steve explains why nothing truly sells itself, how to conduct interviews that reveal grit over resume polish, and why the hiring process should start by talking candidates out of the job. He shares the framework for reverse-engineering personal goals into actionable sales plans, and reveals why your team should be your number one customer—not your actual customers.

For founders and sales leaders tired of the talent revolving door, Steve offers a radically different path: stop chasing rock stars, start building rowers who understand their seat in the boat, and create an environment where B-players can become champions through consistency and discipline in the boring fundamentals.

Stop sacrificing people for numbers. Learn how the best sales teams win through others, not despite them.
