Chad Peets is one of the greatest sales leaders and recruiters of the last 25 years. From 2018 to 2023, Chad was a Managing Director at Sutter Hill Ventures. Chad has worked with the world's best CEOs and CROs to build world-class go-to-market organizations. Chad is currently a member of the Board of Directors for Lacework and Luminary Cloud and on the boards of Clumio and Sigma Computing. He previously served as a board member for Astronomer, Transposit, and others. He was an early-stage investor at Snowflake, Sigma, Observe, Lacework, and Clumio. In Today's Discussion with Chad Peet's We Discuss: 1. You Need a CRO Pre-Product: Why does Chad believe that SaaS companies need a CRO pre-product? Should the founder not be the right person to create the sales playbook? What should the founder look for in their first CRO hire? Does any great CRO really want to go back to an early startup and do it again? 2. What Everyone Gets Wrong in Building Sales Teams: Why are most sales reps not performing? How long does it take for sales teams to ramp? How does this change with PLG and enterprise? What are the benchmarks of good vs great for average sales reps? How do founders and VCs most often hurt their sales teams and performance? 3. How to Build a Hiring Machine: What are the single biggest mistakes people make when hiring sales reps and teams? Are sales people money motivated? How to create comp plans that incentivise and align? Why does Chad believe that any sales rep that does not want to be in the office, is not putting their career and development first? Why is it harder than ever to recruit great sales leaders today? 4. Lessons from Scaling Sales at Snowflake: What are the single biggest lessons of what worked from scaling Snowflake's sales team? What did not work? What would he do differently with the team again? What did Snowflake teach Chad about success and culture and how they interplay together?

She has a PhD in organizational rhetoric (how companies actually persuade people), ran her own agency for 15 years, and spent her early career as a professional violinist performing with the Osmond family. That last credential matters: she learned on stage that audiences always know when something feels rehearsed instead of real.That's exactly what's happening in B2B marketing right now.Join us, as we explore where AI actually makes marketers better versus where it destroys the trust that drives revenue.

Solvonis Therapeutics PLC (LSE:SVNS) CEO Anthony Tennyson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's £1.25 million fundraise and its expanding focus on central nervous system (CNS) drug development. Tennyson said the new capital—raised from strategic and institutional investors—brings Solvonis's total fundraising since May to £4.25 million. These funds will support the acceleration of its CNS discovery programme, which he described as “the innovation engine that drives long-term value creation for Solvonis Therapeutics PLC.” The company is building a platform centred on addiction, psychiatry, and neurology, with a particular focus on high-burden, poorly treated diseases. Solvonis already has an advanced clinical programme for severe alcohol use disorder (SVN-001), targeting the UK and EU markets. A phase 2b trial is also planned for SVN-002, aimed at moderate to severe alcohol use disorder in the US. Looking ahead, Tennyson outlined a three-tiered value strategy, covering near-, medium-, and long-term milestones. He said the company follows a lean, capital-efficient model, working with CROs and academic groups to advance its assets to key inflection points for potential out-licensing to larger pharmaceutical partners. “Our business model is focused on progressing our assets to the appropriate inflection point and then seeking to end-license those,” Tennyson explained.

After more than 100 episodes, #Coach2Scale wraps with a powerful closing message from host Matt Benelli, one that goes far beyond sales tactics. In this final episode, Matt shares four hard-earned truths from hundreds of conversations with CROs, enablement leaders, and frontline managers. He challenges the myth of the “super rep turned manager,” breaks down the true ROI of coaching (7–8X when done right), and reminds us that one-on-ones aren't just a task, they're the operating system for growth.Matt also reflects on why performance loops aren't enough without practice loops, and how great teams aren't built on pressure, but on preparation. This episode connects the dots between personal development and business outcomes; it's a call for CROs and GTM leaders to stop managing through dashboards and start developing their people with purpose. If you're serious about building a high-performing team that lasts, this episode is your blueprint.Top Takeaways1. The human side of coaching is non-negotiable.Vulnerability-based trust isn't soft; it's the foundation for accountability, belief, and long-term performance.2. Properly equipped managers deliver 7–8X ROI.Coaching isn't a “nice to have”; consistent, structured 1:1s lead to higher engagement, lower attrition, and stronger pipeline performance.3. Stop promoting super reps into management without support.Selling and coaching are completely different skills; without systems and training, you set managers (and their teams) up to fail.4. Practice beats performance.Top teams don't just execute, they review, adapt, and improve with immediate, behavior-focused feedback that drives lasting change.5. Coaching isn't a tool; it's a behavior change engine.Technology alone doesn't drive growth; tying behavior improvement directly to outcomes is what makes a coaching culture truly effective.6. One-on-ones are not optional; they're the operating system.When coaching becomes the standard cadence, it shifts manager behavior from reactive firefighting to proactive development.7. Performance grows when reps feel developed, not just measured.The best leaders strike a balance between empathy and accountability, investing in long-term careers rather than just meeting short-term quotas.8.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, John McMahon and John Kaplan dive deep into one of the most important and most overlooked drivers of organizational growth: the roles of first and second line managers. Joined by Scott Rudy, CRO at Zywave, the conversation unpacks why these leadership levels are vital to sales success, where companies often blur responsibilities, and how to build accountability into leadership structures. From recruiting to development plans, and from forecasting to coaching, this discussion provides practical insights for CROs, VPs, and leaders who want to strengthen their sales engine and avoid costly missteps.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:22] First line managers are the backbone of seller success but face high pressure with new responsibilities like recruiting, training, and forecasting.[00:02:02] Second line leaders should not act as duplicate first line managers; their true role is coaching, simplifying, and plugging gaps for new managers.[00:02:58] Proper segregation of duties—development plans, recruiting involvement, and quality checks—prevents confusion and duplication.[00:03:56] A sales organization's growth is often constrained by ineffective execution at the first line manager level.[00:04:53] Accountability must extend to both first and second line managers, ensuring clarity in responsibilities.[00:06:13] CROs should hold second line managers accountable for development plans and rep performance, not just first line leaders.[00:07:27] Recruiting should be a joint process—first line managers drive it, second line managers coach and validate decisions.[00:08:12] Second line leaders focus on quality, spotting blind spots, and identifying trends in recruiting and management.QUOTES[00:00:49] “Seller success should be the number one objective and North Star for a first line leader.”[00:02:02] “A great second line leader plugs the holes of a new first line leader by coaching and simplifying the job.”[00:02:58] “Segregating responsibilities prevents first and second line leaders from duplicating efforts and confusing reps.”[00:03:56] “One of the biggest obstacles for success is the execution of a first line manager.”[00:06:31] “If I'm the CRO, I'm asking the second line manager first about a rep's performance and development plan.”[00:08:00] “The second line leader ought to focus on quality—spotting trends and blind spots the first line leader may miss.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/the-critical-role-of-sales-managers-in-driving-growth-with-scott-rudyEnjoying the podcast?

He describes a startling trend: when capital dries up or regulations shift, life-saving drug programs get shelved—not because of safety or efficacy issues, but due to dilution in business incentives. Among those left behind are rare disease candidates that patients and families know work, but simply become financially unviable.

Too many frontline managers are promoted for hitting quota, then left to figure out leadership on their own. In this episode, Jeff Cummings, COO at LLC Attorney, shares a battle-tested coaching playbook built through 20+ years of leading high-growth teams. He challenges the “leadership lie” that there's no time for 1:1s and lays out a structured, repeatable framework that transforms one-on-ones from status updates into high-impact coaching sessions.Jeff walks through how to coach top performers without coddling them, how to use AI to scale personalized development, and why being a good manager has nothing to do with being in the deals. This episode is packed with practical guidance for CROs, RevOps, and enablement leaders looking to build durable revenue teams, starting with better coaching habits at the frontline.Key Takeaways1. The “Leadership Lie” is that there's no time for 1:1s.Jeff calls out the myth that leaders are too busy to coach; if you're too busy for your people, you're too busy to lead.2. One-on-ones should be structured, consistent, and focused on development, not deals.Effective 1:1s follow a repeatable process that goes beyond pipeline reviews to drive skill growth and accountability.3. Coaching should start with reflection by the rep.Asking “what went well?” first gives the rep ownership and builds a coaching culture grounded in self-awareness.4. Top performers need coaching, too, especially around behavior and professionalism.Being a high producer doesn't exempt someone from expectations; true leaders help reps round out their game.5. Managers must separate being in the action from building the team that drives the action.If you're still acting like a super rep, you're not creating leverage, and you're stunting team growth.6. Missed 1:1s should be rescheduled immediately, not skipped.Treat coaching like a customer meeting; canceling without rescheduling signals that people aren't the priority.7. AI can be used to scale coaching, not replace it.Jeff uses AI to track commitments, organize feedback, and personalize development, but the human connection stays central.8. Be fully present, no Slack, no inbox, no distractions.Undivided attention during coaching moments signals to reps that their development matters.9. Coaching isn't a task; it's a leadership mindset.Great leaders don't wait for permission to coach or train; they take ownership of their team's growth trajectory.10. Pay mentorship forward, build a legacy through people.Jeff credits his early mentors and reinforces that the best ROI in leadership comes from investing in others and teaching them to do the same.LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffcummings/

In this episode of Coach to Scale, we sit down with Sriharsha "Sai" Guduguntla, co-founder of Hyperbound, to unpack one of the most pressing challenges in revenue leadership: the coaching crisis. Despite billions invested in enablement tools, most frontline managers still spend less than 5% of their time actually coaching, and it's costing teams deals, confidence, and retention. Sai shares how Hyperbound is redefining sales practice by enabling reps to roleplay high-stakes calls, objections, and negotiations using AI before they ever speak to a real prospect.Sai and host Matt Benelli explore why traditional training doesn't stick, how to coach the iPhone generation, and why AI-driven feedback is the key to scalable performance improvement. From building reps' confidence to reducing CAC, shortening ramp time, and even coaching managers themselves, this conversation delivers practical insight for CROs and GTM leaders committed to leveling up their teams. If you think having Gong means you're coaching, think again.Key Takeaways1. Coaching is broken, and leaders know it.Most frontline managers spend less than 5% of their time coaching, and even if they admit it's not enough, despite having tools like Gong or Chorus.2. Owning tools doesn't mean using them.Just because you've bought sales tech doesn't mean your team is getting value from it; usage and enablement are two different things.3. Reps are practicing on real prospects, and that's a problem.Without structured practice environments, reps learn in live selling situations, losing deals and confidence in the process.4. AI enables real, scalable practice.Hyperbound uses AI to let reps roleplay discovery, objections, and negotiations with instant feedback, so they improve before going live.5. Training decay is real 87% is forgotten in a month.Sai shares how Hyperbound clients are replacing costly SKOs and one-off trainings with ongoing practice that reinforces key skills year-round.6. Feedback should be immediate, not delayed.Instead of waiting weeks for one-on-one feedback, reps using AI tools can instantly iterate and refine their performance after each session.7. AI coaching is objective and data-backed.AI removes bias by evaluating reps consistently, benchmarking them against top performers, and identifying real improvement areas.8. Confidence is often the root blocker to performance.A lack of confidence, not skill, is what holds many reps back from picking up the phone; Hyperbound helps reps build that confidence safely.9. Managers need coaching too.Hyperbound doesn't just coach reps, it also trains managers by simulating coaching conversations and giving feedback on their effectiveness.10. Culture matters more than tools.Without leadership buy-in and a true coaching culture, even the best tools won't lead to behavior change; some orgs just aren't ready.

In this episode, host Etienne Nichols speaks with Greenlight Guru's Christine Wilbert, an expert in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems for Clinical Research Organizations (CROs). They discuss the critical factors CROs must consider when selecting an EDC solution. Christine highlights that the biggest mistake is a lack of due diligence and not planning for future needs beyond a single study. She emphasizes the importance of looking for a solution that can scale with a company's growth, from pilot studies to pivotal trials, and warns against hidden costs and inadequate post-sales support.The conversation delves into what truly matters in an EDC platform, such as intuitive design, speed of implementation, and the ability to handle repeatable processes. Christine shares that while some vendors may offer "bells and whistles," the core value lies in a lean, efficient system tailored to medical device trials. They also touch on the importance of involving all stakeholders, including site users like clinicians and healthcare professionals, to ensure system adoption and maintain data integrity.Finally, the discussion explores how an EDC system can help CROs win more business. Christine explains that having a scalable, pre-validated solution and a vendor that actively supports business development can be a significant advantage. They also cover the essential compliance features for global trials, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 14155, and the growing role of hybrid and decentralized trials. Christine's final advice to CROs is to "do your due diligence" and select a solution that's a true partner for long-term success.Key Timestamps00:02:39 - Biggest mistakes CROs make when choosing an EDC.00:03:00 - The importance of future planning and scalability.00:04:40 - The value of post-sales support and avoiding hidden fees.00:05:31 - Essential features versus "vendor noise" and unnecessary bells and whistles.00:08:11 - The analogy of a "battleship" vs. a "ninja" in problem-solving.00:09:13 - Identifying key stakeholders for successful EDC implementation.00:11:17 - Challenges and strategies for engaging healthcare professionals.00:13:31 - When to start looking for an EDC solution and the typical timeline.00:15:44 - The onboarding process and what successful companies do in the first few months.00:18:39 - How CROs can use an EDC solution to win more business.00:20:52 - Global compliance considerations (FDA, EU MDR) for EDC platforms.00:23:36 - Features CROs think they need but don't (e.g., QMS integration).00:26:03 - Adapting to hybrid and decentralized trials.00:27:22 - The key takeaway: do your due diligence and seek a true partner.Quotes"I would say the biggest issue is lack of due diligence... they're not necessarily thinking down the line, 'how is this going to scale with this specific company that they're working with?'""The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."TakeawaysPrioritize Scalability and Long-Term Planning: Don't choose an EDC solution just for a single pilot study. Evaluate whether the platform can handle the complexity and size of pivotal and post-market studies to avoid costly transitions in the future.Look for True Partnership, Not Just a Vendor: A successful relationship with an EDC provider goes beyond the initial sale. Seek a vendor with strong post-sales support and a willingness to collaborate on...

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Shopify's CRO Bobby Morrison. We dive into the transformational "pod structure" they've adopted to align cross-functional teams more closely with customer outcomes. Drawing on lessons from his tenure at Microsoft, Morrison explains how Shopify's industry-specific pods streamline collaboration across sales, solution engineers, marketing, and customer success—leading to improved speed, accountability, and customer satisfaction. He also reveals how aligning incentives within these pods reduces internal friction and creates scalable, enterprise-grade execution. This episode is packed with strategic insight for CROs, sales leaders, and go-to-market operators aiming to drive operational efficiency and growth.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:28] Shopify's shift to 16 industry-specific pods was designed to bring cross-functional teams closer to the customer.[00:01:00] Each pod includes sales, solution engineering, launch engineers, and partners all aligned around a single outcome.[00:02:00] At Microsoft, the team spent 70% of their time on internal orchestration, highlighting the inefficiency of siloed roles.[00:03:00] Shopify's pod structure includes defined primary and secondary roles with centralized responsibility and incentives.[00:03:49] All roles in a pod are measured against the same customer cohort, improving continuity and reducing disruption.[00:04:12] Morrison explains how aligning marketing with outcomes (not just MQLs) is helping Shopify eliminate interdepartmental friction.[00:05:00] Shopify is close to assigning at-risk compensation to marketing teams based on segment performance—creating real ownership.[00:05:49] The pod model drives faster decisions, stronger accountability, and less tug-of-war between siloed departments.QUOTES[00:01:00] "All aligned around a single outcome, which is helping our customers win."[00:02:39] "A sales rep could have as many as 87 different people they're working with internally to hit their objective."[00:03:49] "Now the pods are incentivized off of the same customer cohort."[00:04:59] "We're very close to assigning at-risk targets to our marketing team."[00:05:49] "Less tug-of-war that happens between siloed parts of the organization that have different KPIs."Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/ai-driven-sales-innovation-with-bobby-morrisonEnjoying the podcast?
