In this episode, Marcus is joined by Alan Versteeg, a coach and sales performance specialist with years of experience helping companies unlock what's really holding their teams back.

Together, they explore 9 critical truths most sales leaders overlook, and the hidden leverage points that can transform your results without overhauling your tech stack or doubling your headcount.

What you'll learn:

  • Why your middle managers are your most underused asset, and how to activate them

  • How on-the-job coaching delivers a 72x return when done right

  • The dangerous illusion of control CRMs create, and what to focus on instead

  • How shifting from managing individuals to managing the sales environment changes everything

  • Why asking basic questions like “Why do we prospect?” can unravel deeper issues in your sales process

  • How to identify the handbrakes slowing growth, often hidden in plain sight

  • Why failure is your most powerful tool, if you build the right culture around it

  • The key difference between managing tasks and driving impact

  • And how changing perspective can make the difference between short-term wins and long-term performance

If you're a CRO, VP of Sales, or leading a team in a mid-market organisation, this episode is packed with practical, thought-provoking insight you won't get from dashboards or sales playbooks.
