B2B sales tech stack architecture — the 5 connected layers traditional B2B companies need to turn pipeline guesswork into predictable revenue.

Steve breaks down what each layer of a modern B2B sales tech stack actually needs to do, the tools that matter at each level, and the four mistakes that quietly sabotage growth — including buying tools before defining process and skipping straight to reporting on empty pipelines.In this episode:- Why CRM adoption below 80% means your forecast is fiction- The five layers of a modern B2B sales tech stack and how they connect- Data enrichment and intent tools that turn cold lists into targeted outreach- How conversation intelligence platforms like Gong shorten sales cycles- The four most common sales tech stack mistakes and how to avoid them- Three audit questions to pressure-test your current stack todaySteve Whittington is President of Roadmap, a builder of go-to-market systems for traditional B2B companies.
