Sales success isn’t just about hitting numbers. It’s about equipping people with the right mindset, tools, and support to thrive.
Gearoid Cox, founder and CEO of SalesPipeline shares how sales leaders can move beyond one-time onboarding and build a culture of continuous training, appreciation, and intentional leadership. He explores why top performers benefit from revisiting fundamentals, how small teams can maximize limited training budgets, and why appreciation is the hidden fuel that drives motivation and long-term results.
With years of experience leading global sales teams and now helping companies scale through outsourced and fractional sales leadership, Gearoid has seen firsthand what today’s top sales talent really needs. He unpacks how flexibility, supportive leadership, and the right tools create stronger, more engaged teams, and why listening to your people is often the simplest but most overlooked leadership advantage.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Training Beyond Onboarding: Why continuous learning gives sales teams a competitive edge long after the first 90 days.
- Appreciation as a Mindset: How practicing gratitude transforms sales conversations, boosts motivation, and strengthens team culture.
- Leading with Consistency: Why leaders who stay in tune with their teams drive stronger performance and long-term growth.
- Building Global Sales Teams: Today’s top talents really want flexibility, the right tools, and leadership that listens.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
