Last week, I left a short comment on a post by Matt Green about fair sales compensation.

12 words. That’s it.

Two days later, it passed 11,000+ impressions.

It reminded me how tools like RepVue are helping sales professionals find roles with transparent and fair compensation structures.

It was also a reminder that visibility doesn’t always come from posting more.

Sometimes it comes from showing up where the right conversations are happening.

That single comment led to new profile views, messages, and a few connections in SaaS sales leadership.

Networking isn’t just outbound.

It’s about consistently adding value in public, authentically, and without expecting anything back.

Ever had a deal that looked perfect on paper but still stalled?

That’s when I realized I was focused on selling value rather than understanding how buyers buy.

Early in my career, I thought sales was about presenting value.
Over time, I realized it’s about aligning with how the buyer defines it.

I once worked a deal where every demo hit the mark, but momentum stalled.

After a deeper conversation, I found the issue wasn’t product fit.
It was timing, risk, and internal politics, things that didn’t show up in Salesforce.

That’s when it clicked.
Top sellers don’t just sell solutions.
They help buyers navigate their decision process.

Buyer-centric selling means asking questions like:

What’s changed inside your business that makes this a priority now?
Who else needs to feel confident before this moves forward?
What would success look like three months after implementation?

When you understand what matters most to the buyer, you stop pitching and start partnering.

How do you uncover what the buyer really needs before they tell you?

#SalesLeadership #B2BSales #SaaSSales #TechSales #GoToMarket

I’ll never forget the Monday I started the week 32% behind target, and somehow finished ahead.

At first, I did what most of us do when we see red numbers.

I pushed harder. More calls. More meetings. More urgency.

But halfway through the day, I realized activity wasn’t the issue. Clarity was.

So instead of sprinting, I paused and asked three questions:

Where are deals stalling?

Which conversations still have momentum?

And what’s one blocker I can remove before noon?

That small reset changed everything.

By Friday, two dormant deals closed, and the pipeline looked completely different.

The lesson stuck with me.

Momentum doesn’t come from doing more.

It comes from knowing what matters most and acting on it early.

How do you create clarity at the start of your week?


#SalesLeadership #B2BSales #SaaSSales #GoToMarket #SalesStrategy

The best leaders I’ve worked with don’t react quickly. They respond with clarity, especially when the pressure’s on.

In sales, markets shift. Tech evolves. Roles change.
But the ability to learn fast and stay grounded in what drives results never loses value.

There was a time I walked into every challenge thinking I needed to have all the answers.

Eventually, I learned that the best leaders don’t know everything. They figure it out faster because they listen, test, and stay open to feedback.

Adaptability isn’t about chasing every new trend.
It’s about learning how to move forward when things don’t go as planned.

Whether it’s a new product, a new process, or a new opportunity, the ones who thrive are the ones who stay curious.

💡What’s one change you’ve made recently that pushed you to grow?

#SalesLeadership #B2BSales #SaaSSales #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

The real test isn’t how consistent you are when you’re motivated.

It’s how structured you are when you’re not.

That’s where most people stall. They rely on energy instead of structure.

Early in my career, I thought success came down to who worked the hardest.

Now I know it’s about who builds the clearest system.

Over the years, I’ve seen the same thing across every sales environment.

The teams that win don’t just set goals.
They create repeatable processes around them.

✅ Reviewing pipeline regularly

✅ Tracking every follow-up

✅ Measuring what’s working and what’s not

Those rhythms create consistency long after the “push” of a good week fades.

Systems aren’t just about staying organized.
They create stability.

They make effort measurable, not just motivational.

And in sales, that’s the difference between chasing momentum and engineering it.

#SaaSSales #SalesLeadership #SalesStrategy #TechSales #CareerGrowth

𝗔𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁, 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀.

That’s when consistency becomes identity.

Every Friday, I used to review deals just to close loops.

But one week, I noticed the same follow-up pattern popping up in every pipeline review.

That single observation changed how I coach and how I sell.

Because real growth doesn’t come from big wins.

It comes from the small standards that become nonnegotiable.

💡 Here are three that changed everything for me:

✅ Logging every conversation in Salesforce, no matter how small.
✅ Blocking time to review deals even when the calendar’s full.
✅ Following up with curiosity, not convenience.

Those rhythms compound over time.

They stop being reminders and start being reflexes.

💬 As you wrap up the week:

What’s one habit you’ve practiced long enough that it’s now part of your professional identity?

How to Turn Small Signals into Big Opportunities


Last week, I shared how small habits build momentum.

This week, I want to share how those signals of momentum start turning into real opportunities.

It’s easy to overlook the little things: a comment on a post, a recruiter message, a quiet “Hey, saw your update.”

But in sales and in your career, those moments are often the start of something bigger.

Here’s how I nurture them:

✅ Log every interaction in my CRM, even the quick ones, so no potential connection slips through.

✅ Follow up with authentic curiosity, not just “checking in.” I want to know what’s changed or where I can add value.

✅ Treat every conversation like a seed, not a transaction. Some bloom next week, others months later.

One example:

A recruiter I spoke with earlier in the year reached out last week about a leadership opening that hadn’t even been posted yet.

That opportunity came from a simple follow-up I’d logged months ago.

The real growth doesn’t come from chasing opportunity. It comes from building a system that attracts it.

Momentum compounds when you stay intentional.

In sales and in career building, that’s the difference between waiting for luck and creating leverage.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?


#SaaSSales #SalesLeadership #CareerGrowth #TechSales #SalesStrategy

I once walked into a 1:1 focused on performance and walked out rethinking how I lead.

“Do you want me to get better, or do you just want this fixed?”

That question reshaped how I think about feedback.

Early in my career, I treated coaching like problem-solving — step in, fix it, move on.
But that approach doesn’t build confidence or capability. It builds dependency.

Over time, I found that the best coaching conversations start with curiosity, not correction.

Questions like:

What led you to that decision?
What outcome were you expecting?
What did you notice from the buyer’s response?

It’s slower in the moment, but it develops faster thinkers.

When people understand the “why” behind their actions, they take ownership of the next step, and that’s where growth occurs.

Coaching isn’t about fixing people.
It’s about helping them see what they couldn’t see before.

How do you approach feedback so it builds confidence, not compliance?

#SalesCoaching #SalesLeadership #B2BSales #SaaSSales #TechSales

Solid advice on focusing on discovery over pitching. Top sellers dig into pain points and align solutions.

⚡ 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 ≠ “𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵.”

Too many reps think sales is about crafting the slickest message and pushing it hard. Dion Travagliante, Director of Sales at Macabacus Inc., sees it differently.

The truth?

“If you do proper discovery, the rest falls into place.”

What top sellers actually do:
 ✅ Ask sharper questions
 ✅ Uncover real pain points
 ✅ Listen more than they talk
 ✅ Align solutions to what matters

It’s not about a flawless pitch — it’s about finding the problem worth solving.

Few start aligned. 🚀

I used to kick off every week chasing momentum with new calls, new meetings, and new noise.

But the weeks that actually moved the needle started differently.
They started with direction. 🎯

Before diving into the pipeline, I would take ten minutes to map the three conversations that could actually change the month or quarter.

That small reset turned motion into momentum.

You don’t need more motion to make progress.

You need better direction. 💡

What is one thing you do at the start of the week to stay aligned, not just active 💭

#MindsetMonday #SalesLeadership #SaaSSales #SalesStrategy #Focus

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗖𝗥𝗠. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. 💡

I used to think progress came from adding more calls, more meetings, more tools.

But consistency doesn’t start with effort. It starts with clarity.

Every Thursday, I take 15 minutes to ask three questions

✅ What’s actually moving the needle?

✅ What’s noise?

✅ What deserves my focus for the rest of this week and what needs my attention next week?

That short reset has yielded more significant results than any new process or platform.

Because clarity creates momentum, not activity.

✨ As you head into the weekend

How do you create space to find clarity before the week ends?

👻 Ghosting doesn’t just happen in dating or on Halloween. It happens in hiring, and it’s everywhere.

I’ve been in a few interview loops recently where the updates just stopped. No, yes, no, no, just silence.

And I get it. People get busy. Priorities shift.

But as a candidate, you’re left wondering if the door’s still open or if it quietly closed.

🤐 Silence might feel neutral, but it leaves the other person carrying uncertainty.
✅ A direct no is always better than no reply at all.
🗣 Feedback is clarity. And clarity is respect.

✨What’s one way you’ve seen feedback handled well in the hiring process?

Big thanks to Megan Juliano for continuing to champion this conversation, and what you and Devon Archer  are building at JobGhost is long overdue.

Break the habit. Build the leader.
Today’s theme: Break Unwanted Habits. Discomfort is normal. Your unconscious mind resists change to protect the status quo. Lead anyway. Upgrade the system and the habit will follow.

TODAY’S GOAL
Choose one limiting habit and replace it with a high-performance alternative—starting today.

HOW? Use the B.R.E.A.K. method
B — Bring it to light: Name the exact habit + when/where it happens. “I open email before prospecting at 8:30.”
R — Reveal the loop:Trigger the routine reap the reward. What cue starts it? What feeling does it scratch (anxiety relief, novelty, comfort)?
E — Engineer a replacement: Keep the trigger and reward, swap the routine. Trigger: sit at desk → New routine: dial first number for 10 minutes → Reward: checkmark + short walk.
A — Add friction to the old habit: Log out, move app off dock, block sites, remove snacks, put phone in another room. Make the wrong thing hard.
K — Keep score & accountability: Track a visible streak; text an accountability partner each day “ Broke [habit] and run [replacement].”

POWER TOOLS (use at least 2)
Implementation intention:“If it’s 8:30 and I want to open email, then I will call 3 warm leads first.”
Environment design: One-tab rule; meeting-ready desk; water bottle full; headphones on.
Identity cue:“I’m the leader who ships the first important action before anything else.”
72-hour sprint: Three straight days of the new routine to cement momentum.
Keystone swap: Replace one habit that cascades wins (e.g., morning phone-free 30 → deeper focus all day).

WHY DOES THIS WORK?
Habits are prediction engines. When you make the desired action the easiest action and pair it with a fast reward, your brain rewires around the new loop. Discomfort fades; results rise.

Your turn to comment below!
     Old habit → new routine (one line)
     Trigger you’re keeping and friction you added
     How you’ll keep score (streak, partner, daily checkmark)
     Break the pattern. Build the proof.
