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.Download the Revenue Factory Toolkit at roadmapagency.com/podcast and start turning your forecasts into predictable growth!Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts.

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.Download the Revenue Factory Toolkit at roadmapagency.com/podcast and start turning your forecasts into predictable growth!Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

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.Download the Revenue Factory Toolkit at roadmapagency.com/podcast and start turning your forecasts into predictable growth!Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts.
