Struggling to hit your sales targets or feel like your pipeline is stuck? You’re not alone. But here’s the thing — the problem isn’t your team, it’s your approach.

In this episode of The Sales Machine, I’m sitting down with Ken Cheo, the President of Our Sales Coach, who’s been transforming sales teams for over two decades. We’re diving into the real reasons why sales teams fail to scale — from unclear sales processes and weak CRM systems, to missing out on strategic partnerships and targeting the wrong decision-makers.

If you're ready to stop wasting time on unqualified leads, stop the finger-pointing between sales and marketing, and start building a sales process that delivers real, sustainable growth...this episode is for you.

Let’s get into it!

Episode Highlights

"The biggest challenge for me is when there's a leader who just doesn't want to be involved." – Ken Cheo


"I always tell my team, you've got to be a chameleon when you walk into a room. You have to be able to read the room and adapt." – John Rankins


"Sales leaders are spending all their time selling, not managing. They don't know why they’re efficient, and they can't replicate it for the rest of the team." – Ken Cheo


"Sales is really about figuring things out, solving the problem, and being strategic, or you're going to keep hitting your head against the wall." – John Rankins


"We’re in a market where people buy in order to solve pain. The pleasure comes afterward." – Ken Cheo
