EXPLODE YOUR SALES RIGHT NOW: The Absolute Fcking Truth About Leadership
Manage episode 476385433 series 3561068
In this firepower-packed episode, the truth gets laid bare—underperforming sales teams aren’t a people problem, they’re a leadership problem.
This is a straight-talking, high-impact breakdown of how real sales transformation begins and ends with leadership execution.
If you’ve ever blamed your team for missing the number, this episode will challenge everything you think you know.
From building a milestone-based sales process to implementing predictive scorecards, this conversation dives deep into CRM integration, pipeline visibility, accountability, coaching, and training that actually sticks.
The hard truth? Most sales teams are flying blind with no consistent process, no common language, and no real leadership.
You’ll hear a real-world case study of a sales team that went off the rails—and how leadership course-corrected and turned everything around.
You’ll walk away with a clear picture of what works, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
If you're serious about moving from managing to leading and getting results that matter, this episode is for you.
