Vince Burruano, fractional sales leader, consultant, and author of A Daily Dose of Sales Wisdom, joins Revenue Unscripted to dig into the future of the sales profession and why the human element isn't going anywhere. With nearly 30 years leading sales teams across the moving and office technology industries, Vince brings a sharp, practical perspective on what separates elite sales professionals from the rest - and what leaders need to do right now to protect and grow the value of their sales teams.From the psychology of buyer resistance to the cultural cost of tolerating toxic top performers, this conversation covers ground that every sales leader and CEO needs to hear.

    S01 E06 - Selling Complex Solutions Without Overwhelming Buyers | Michael Galloway

    Most salespeople lose deals by talking too much about their product. Michael Galloway, Region Vice President at EnableComp, reveals why people write checks to solve pain, not chase upside, and how asking the right questions early can save months of wasted effort in complex healthcare sales cycles.Michael shares his journey from reading the Wall Street Journal in middle school to becoming an elite enterprise seller who thinks like an owner. He explains why competing against inertia is harder than competing against other vendors, how to guide prospects through change without calling them incompetent, and the counterintuitive strategy of going for the no as early as possible to protect your most valuable asset: selling time.Key topics:Selling to solve pain versus selling upsideCompeting against status quo and inertiaAsking business-appropriate challenging questionsProtecting seller time and opportunity costThinking like an owner in salesHealthcare revenue cycle managementComplex enterprise sales strategiesAvoiding unpaid consulting while being consultativeScaling revenue without scaling meetingsBuilding sustainable company valuation through salesConnect with Michael Galloway:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelackergalloway/Company: EnableCompSubscribe to Revenue Unscripted for more conversations with B2B leaders on building high-performing sales cultures and turning complex deals into predictable growth.I hope you enjoy this episode!

    S01 E04 - The Hidden Math Behind Sales Quota Success | Kevin Onarecker

    Kevin Onarecker spent 30 years rebuilding broken sales teams in med tech and pharma, and he'll tell you straight: when leaders say "we just need to close more," they're missing everything. After leading sales orgs from rep to VP, Kevin reveals why promoting your top performer destroys teams, how Fortune 500 companies train customers to expect discounts, and the brutal math that makes quota-setting either your secret weapon or your biggest liability. He breaks down why confident reps who "porpoise" (up one year, down the next) don't actually have a plan, how one executive killed a deal by offering a discount too early, and why the best sellers radiate quiet confidence instead of cockiness. This isn't about motivation speeches or ABC (Always Be Closing). It's about the assumptions hiding in your recurring revenue model and why your top three accounts might be producing 60% of territory revenue while you're spread across 150 hospitals.Key takeaways:Quota-setting is make-or-break - bad assumptions about recurring revenue and customer retention destroy forecasts and kill moraleTop performers bring attitude first, then knowledge and skills - hire for resilience and self-confidence that comes from preparation, not egoThe optimal sales team size is driven by what managers can actually coach - focus on the 3-5 accounts producing 50-60% of revenue, not spreading thin across 150Reps miss quota because they lack strategic plans - break annual goals into monthly benchmarks and reverse-engineer the behaviors requiredDiscounting without strategy trains customers to wait for deals and crushes your math - it takes more than 25% additional revenue to overcome a 25% discountHave questions about getting your team back on track?

    S01 E03 - Revenue Systems That Scale Without Burnout | Paul Fuller

    Why does promoting your top salesperson to manager usually backfire? Paul Fuller, CRO at Membrain, has watched this pattern destroy sales orgs across 80+ countries. He reveals how Fortune 500 companies massage forecasts through three layers of Excel because nobody trusts their CRM, why call volume and email metrics are mostly theater, and the exact team size where coaching actually works. Paul breaks down the difference between vanity metrics and real progress indicators, how founders accidentally crush margins by swooping in to "help" close deals, and why your sales system might be designed to collect data instead of helping reps actually sell. Whether you're making your first sales hire or wondering why revenue feels unpredictable, this conversation will change how you build your sales organization.Key takeaways:Stop measuring vanity metrics like call volume - focus on actual conversations and first meetings that move deals forwardThe optimal sales team size is 5-6 reps per manager, anything more and coaching quality collapsesYour CRM should help reps sell, not just collect data for executives - if reps avoid using it, that's your answerSales leaders must hold themselves accountable to weekly one-on-ones as a KPI, not just revenue numbersDefine three client commitment milestones to create accurate forecasts without spreadsheet gymnasticsHave questions about building predictable revenue systems?

    S01 E02 - Beyond the A Player Myth | Steve Craig

    When Steve Craig's father drove him through the wealthiest neighborhood in town and revealed that most residents were salespeople, it planted a seed that would shape his entire career philosophy. Now as VP of Sales at Solmedics, Steve shares hard-won wisdom about what actually builds championship sales teams—and it's not what most leaders think.The uncomfortable truth? Your obsession with hiring A-players might be sabotaging your team's success. Steve breaks down why cohesive teams of solid B-players consistently outperform collections of individual stars, drawing parallels from championship sports teams to Navy SEAL units. The difference comes down to role clarity, discipline in the basics, and a willingness to make teammates better rather than chase individual glory.This conversation challenges conventional sales leadership wisdom at every turn. Steve explains why nothing truly sells itself, how to conduct interviews that reveal grit over resume polish, and why the hiring process should start by talking candidates out of the job. He shares the framework for reverse-engineering personal goals into actionable sales plans, and reveals why your team should be your number one customer—not your actual customers.For founders and sales leaders tired of the talent revolving door, Steve offers a radically different path: stop chasing rock stars, start building rowers who understand their seat in the boat, and create an environment where B-players can become champions through consistency and discipline in the boring fundamentals.Stop sacrificing people for numbers. Learn how the best sales teams win through others, not despite them.Connect with Steve Craig on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevecraig20/ I hope you enjoy this episode!
