    How to Fix Stalled Deals (Without Pitch Slapping)

    Is your pipeline full of deals in 'purgatory'? Most B2B organizations suffer from stalled deals, slow velocity, and a general lack of trust in their pipeline accuracy. On this episode of Driving Growth, host Steve Whittington sits down with Yael Morris, CEO of Decode Insights, to uncover why deals actually die—and it’s rarely because of the 'budget' or 'timing' reasons reps log in the CRM. You’ll hear how Decode uses neutral third-party interviews to expose the hidden friction in sales cycles.This episode is for B2B CEOs and sales leaders who are tired of guessing why revenue is leaking and want to build a buyer-centric revenue factory. You will learn how to identify the 'original sin' of seller-centric processes, the specific questions reps are afraid to ask during discovery, and how to equip champions with the ROI data they need to clear internal hurdles. We also discuss how to break down silos between marketing and sales to ensure better lead targeting.

    10 Revenue Operations Gaps And How to Fix Your Go-To-Market

    Are you making business decisions based on gut feel or actual data? Many B2B leaders find themselves "hopecasting"—missing quarterly targets by 20% or more because they lack true pipeline visibility.  In this episode, Steve Whittington breaks down the top 10 themes and struggles observed across hundreds of client go-to-market systems. From the "universal" problem of sales and marketing misalignment to the high cost of unidentified ideal customer profiles (ICPs), this session serves as a mirror for your own organization to identify where your revenue factory is leaking. This episode is for B2B executives, sales leaders, and marketing directors who are tired of fragmented data and stagnant growth.  You will learn: - How to transition from a "hopecast" to a data-driven revenue forecast using leading and lagging indicators. - The specific tactics to solve CRM adoption issues by tying compensation to data entry. - Why treating your revenue team as a single unit with a shared scorecard eliminates the blame game between sales and marketing.

    How to Drive Tradeshow ROI (Without Wasting Your Budget)

    Stop treating tradeshows like a passive expense and start treating them like a revenue engine. In this episode of Driving Growth, host Steve Whittington is joined by Anders Boulanger, founder of Engagify, to dismantle the "build it and they will come" myth that plagues B2B exhibitors. While many companies spend six figures on floor space and freight, they often neglect the one element responsible for 85% of their success: the human beings standing in the booth. This episode is for B2B executives and marketing leaders who are tired of unquantifiable tradeshow results and want a systematic approach to face-to-face marketing.  You will learn: • The Five-Pointed Star framework for maximizing booth authority and presence. • Why 80% of leads are never downloaded and how to build a pre-show follow-up cadence. • The "Tradeshow Triangle" and how to move from a passive booth buyer to a specialized exhibitor.

    The Key Elements of a Strategic Marketing Plan

    Most B2B companies waste time and resources on marketing efforts that lack focus—until they realize their campaigns aren't driving revenue. What if your marketing wasn’t just busywork, but a precise engine designed to hit real targets? In this episode, we uncover the simple but powerful framework that transforms scattered activities into a revenue-driving machine. We'll explore how a strategic marketing plan rooted in clear math and alignment with sales can turn marketing from a cost center into a key driver of growth. Discover why understanding your sales math—your revenue target, close rates, and deal size—is foundational. Without it, your efforts are just noise. You'll learn how to define your ideal client profile and buyer's committee, sharpening your messaging, targeting, and closing speed. We break down the importance of shared KPIs and service level agreements between marketing and sales—so both teams work together with purpose. You'll see how to prioritize the few focus areas that truly move the needle, like demand generation, customer retention, or sales enablement. Plus, get clarity on building integrated campaigns across multiple channels—trade shows, social media, website, and more—that are aligned around a single cohesive message. Most importantly, this episode reveals the critical importance of bringing customer lifecycle strategies into your marketing plan—creating a virtuous circle of retention, referrals, and growth. The stakes are high: without a true plan, growth feels accidental. With it, growth becomes intentional, sustainable, and measurable. Perfect for founders, marketers, and leaders tired of guesswork. If you’re ready to turn your marketing efforts into a predictable growth engine, this episode provides the blueprint. Build your revenue factory on math, clarity, and focus—because growth that’s engineered lasts.

    Bonus Episode: Steve Whittington on B2B Growth: Why Marketing is Math, Not Magic

    Marketing isn't about doodles and creativity—it's about science, math, and unit economics. In this special bonus episode of Driving Growth, Steve Whittington joins Alyssa Nulty on The Growth Signal to challenge the common 'creative-first' marketing mindset. If you can’t prove your impact in a spreadsheet, you don't have a go-to-market system; you have a wish list. This episode is for B2B leaders, marketing executives, and sales professionals who are tired of 'hope casting' and want to build a predictable revenue engine. Steve breaks down why traditional B2B companies struggle with data and how to shift toward a 'revenue responder' culture where every employee understands their impact on the bottom line. Subscribe to The Growth Signal: https://rss.com/podcasts/thegrowthsignal/ What you’ll learn: • Why unit economics (LTV, CAC, and Churn) must come before creative campaigns. • How to identify your 'Critical Number' (the one domino that makes everything else fall). • The 'three-legged stool' of a reliable forecast: Transaction size, close rate, and deal velocity.
