Founders overvalue revenue in the early days. The first 10 customers are about learning. Nothing you build next will matter if you don't have a tight feedback loop. That's how Jason Moolenaar approached the launch of Sentient. A tool that fixes one of the most expensive blind spots in B2B sales: the time lag between form fills and follow-ups. He knew the problem firsthand, but he didn't rush to scale. He optimized for speed, feedback, and reality checks. Most founders don't. Highlights include: Validating Within your Network (03:53), Predictable Channels for Early Growth (14:21), Niching Down (19:05), The Sweet PMF Feeling (23:35), And more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!
“You either crush it and they don't need you anymore, run out of leads, or just don't get the results. Every cold email engagement has an expiration date.” That was the reality for Noah Berk and his co-founder in 2016. Their business, built on cold outbound, worked at first. But behind the early wins was a model that couldn't hold. Highlights include: Cold Email: NOT a Long-term Sustainable Business Model (03:10), Doubling Down on HubSpot (08:18), Keeping the Lights On (12:08), And more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!
J. Ryan Williams spent years leading sales at high-growth startups. Then he quit. Not because he lost faith in sales, but because he realized most founders were doing it backwards.

Highlights include: The Collapse of a Dream (11:00), “Drunks Holding Each Other Up” (22:00), Your Customer's Customer (39:00), Teaching Through Sales (46:00), and more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!
The best startup ideas don't start with brainstorming. They start with frustration. Anirudh Ganesh didn't invent a new market. He spotted an obvious, painful inefficiency: boutique hotels had outdated, unusable websites, losing up to 30% of revenue to online travel agencies (OTAs). Startup ideas don't need to be revolutionary. They need to fix something visibly broken, where the cost of doing nothing is already high. Highlights include: Referral, Referral, Referral (06:30), Cold Calling When the Math is Easy (15:50), Self Service for Cost Reduction and Customer Engagement (21:00), The Moment You Realize You Might Have Something Good (23:15), and more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!

(03:53), Where did Rebillia's First Customer Come From?

When Moran Mizrahi joined us on the Predictable Revenue Podcast, the conversation started with something every founder can relate to: the moment you hit a wall using a tool that clearly wasn't designed for people like you. For Moran and Rebillia, that moment came in the subscription billing space. After years running retail and eCommerce businesses, they were spending heavily to acquire customers, only to watch them churn after one or two purchases. Subscriptions felt like the solution. But the tools were rigid, hard to use, and far from customer-centric. Highlights include: Has Anyone Actually Tried This? (03:53), Where did Rebillia's First Customer Come From? (09:33), The Product-Fit Moment (13:05), and more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!
Collin Stewart almost canceled this episode. Not because the guest wasn't great, he was. Dr. Jeremy Weisz, co-founder of Rise 25, helped Collin get his podcast off the ground years ago. No, Collin hesitated because the strategy they were about to talk about… was working too well. “I don't want everyone else to start doing this,” Collin admitted. “It's working so well right now, I almost didn't want to share it.” So, what is this strategy? Podcasting. But not in the way you think.

Sustainability in construction is no longer optional. It's a business imperative. Large corporations and government agencies demand low-impact materials, pushing manufacturers and suppliers to adapt.

For years, conventional wisdom has said that outbound sales works in B2B but not B2C. The reason? Email. In business sales, you can source and validate work emails.

Paul Doerwald set out to solve a problem he knew well. Helping small consultancies manage multiple projects without getting lost in Trello boards and Gantt charts. The idea made sense. It was solving a real issue. But when he brought it to his target audience, the response was clear: "I wouldn't use it." Instead of defending his idea, Paul listened.

Every founder starts with a problem. For Zach Barney, that problem was event sales. After years of leading sales teams, attending conferences, and struggling with lead attribution, he realized something: event-driven sales was broken. “You don't move up in sales leadership unless you know your numbers,” Zach explained. “But when it came to conferences and trade shows, tracking real impact was a nightmare.
