    Why 44% of Reps Quit After One Follow Up — And How to Fix It | Ep 334

    80% of deals require at least 5 follow ups. 44% of salespeople quit after the first attempt. That gap is where your pipeline is bleeding — and most reps don't even know it's happening. In this episode, Dave and Regan break down the follow up epidemic, why sequences die after touch two, and the exact multi-channel framework that closes deals other reps have already abandoned. What you'll learn: → Why following up once already puts you ahead of 44% of your competitors → The 18-touch multi-channel sequence that gets responses (email + LinkedIn + call + SMS) → Why the "7-minute deal" in your CRM is actually a 12-month relationship in disguise → How to build a follow up cadence that doesn't feel like a template to the buyer → The two parallel tracks top sellers run — outreach cadence AND relationship building → How to follow up on a live deal without creating scarcity or desperation → The jab jab hook follow up ratio that mirrors how social media serves content → How to write a breakup email that actually keeps the door open → Why a weak pipeline is the real reason reps push deals too hard too fast If you're an AE or BDR and your follow ups are going silent after touch two or three — this conversation is for you. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. ⭐ Unlock free resources (templates, frameworks & prompts): https://coachpilot.com/vault Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigiprestinenzi/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/reganbarker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfastuca/ 💬 About Revenue Leaders A podcast for founders, sales managers, revenue operators, and GTM leaders who want predictable pipeline, higher win rates, and structured revenue growth.

    Sales Tactics That Give Buyers the Ick — And What to Do Instead | Ep 333

    Ever been on the receiving end of a terrible sales pitch? Dave and Regan have — and in this episode, they're calling all of it out. As buyers who get sold to constantly, they rate the sales tactics that give them the ick, break down exactly why each one doesn't work, and give the remedy for every single one. The icks they cover: → "Just following up" — the laziest email in sales and what to send instead → The pitch slap — accepting a LinkedIn connection and getting sold to 3 seconds later → Automated email cadences with zero personalization — and why they're killing your domain reputation → Outreach without insight — product flogging with no relevance, no value, no reason to reply → Jumping straight to demo without understanding who you're selling to → End of quarter pressure tactics — "sign by Monday for a discount" and why it backfires every time → The post-sale drop-off — why the best sellers never stop selling after the close Plus the outreach that actually worked on them — and won the job. Whether you're a founder, sales leader, or account executive — if any of these tactics sound familiar, this episode is your wake-up call. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. ⭐ Unlock free resources (templates, frameworks & prompts): https://coachpilot.com/vault Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigiprestinenzi/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/reganbarker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfastuca/ 💬 About Revenue Leaders A podcast for founders, sales managers, revenue operators, and GTM leaders who want predictable pipeline, higher win rates, and structured revenue growth.

    The Discovery Call Questions That Actually Close Deals | Ep 332

    Most salespeople are still asking "why" questions. Buyers are getting defensive before the conversation even starts — and deals are dying because of it. In this episode, Dave and Regan break down the exact discovery call framework that top B2B closers use to open buyers up, extend conversations naturally, and close without ever feeling like an interrogation. What you'll learn: → Why "why" questions put buyers on the defensive instantly (and what to replace them with) → How AI has changed what buyers already know before your first call — and how to meet them there → The past, present, and future question framework that predicts exactly how a buyer will make decisions → Why 5 questions beats a 20-question checklist every single time → How drill-down questions double the information you get from one answer → The one question to open every discovery call with (the Louis special) → The one question to close every discovery call with — turns 30-minute meetings into 60 → Why curiosity beats clinical qualification in every sales conversation If your discovery calls feel like interrogations, your proposals are stalling, or buyers go quiet after the first meeting — this episode will change how you sell. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. ⭐ Unlock free resources (templates, frameworks & prompts): https://coachpilot.com/vault Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigiprestinenzi/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/reganbarker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfastuca/ 💬 About Revenue Leaders A podcast for founders, sales managers, revenue operators, and GTM leaders who want predictable pipeline, higher win rates, and structured revenue growth.

    Sales Targets: The Debate Dividing Sales Leaders Right Now | Ep 331

    Should salespeople have targets? One LinkedIn post divided thousands of sales professionals — and we finally break down who's right. In this episode, Dave, Regan, and Luigi tackle one of the most controversial topics in modern sales management: whether removing revenue targets and replacing them with a personal success blueprint actually builds a higher-performing team — or whether it's just feel-good theory that falls apart in execution. What you'll learn: → Why Parkinson's Law means hard ceilings are quietly killing your best performers → The real reason top reps sandbag deals at the end of the quarter → Why team-based targets let average performers hide behind good ones → How psychological safety actually increases sales output (and the data behind it) → The case for quarterly KPIs over annual targets in a fast-moving market → Which activity KPIs are completely pointless — and what to replace them with → The middle ground that gives reps a floor, removes the ceiling, and still drives revenue Whether you're a founder setting your first sales hire's number, a sales leader rebuilding your comp structure, or a rep who's ever hit quota and coasted — this episode will change how you think about targets forever. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. ⭐ Unlock free resources (templates, frameworks & prompts): https://coachpilot.beehiiv.com/ 📺 Watch on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@revenueleaders Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigiprestinenzi/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/reganbarker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfastuca/ 💬 About Revenue Leaders A podcast for founders, sales managers, revenue operators, and GTM leaders who want predictable pipeline, higher win rates, and structured revenue growth.

    Why Your Sales Onboarding Is Costing You More Than You Think | Onboarding Ep 1

    Most companies think they've nailed sales onboarding. They haven't. Research shows SaaS onboarding takes 5.7 months on average — not 3. For complex sales like professional services or financial services, add another 40% on top of that. Most businesses are ramping their salespeople wrong, and the invisible costs are massive. In this episode, Dave, Regan, and Luigi break down what world-class sales onboarding actually looks like — and why most companies get it dangerously wrong. What you'll learn: → Why onboarding is broken before day one (it starts at recruitment) → The two interview questions that predict a new hire's performance 3 months later → Red flags in the first two weeks that tell you someone won't make it → Why you should onboard salespeople customer-first, not product-first → The real cost of a bad onboarding (it's not just salary — it's opportunity cost, trainer time, and churn) → How to build a 30/60/90 day onboarding map that actually produces results → Why role-play in a safe environment is the most underrated onboarding tool → The difference between compliance training and development — and why confusing them kills ramp time → How a company handbook eliminates the "thousand questions to the buddy" problem Whether you're a founder making your first sales hire, a sales leader rebuilding your onboarding process, or a revenue operator trying to reduce ramp time — this episode gives you the exact framework to get your salespeople producing faster. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. ⭐ Unlock free resources (templates, frameworks & prompts): https://coachpilot.beehiiv.com/ 📺 Watch on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@revenueleaders⁠ 📲 Follow: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/⁠ 🎧 New weekly episodes on B2B sales strategy, revenue leadership, GTM execution, and pipeline growth.
