If you're serious about winning more work, building trust with clients, and leading your sales team with confidence, let's talk. I'm offering a free 10-minute call to help you pinpoint exactly where your sales process is breaking down—and what to do about it.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who's quickly become both a friend and an inspiration, Kim Vassenelli, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Park Rose Estates in Syracuse, NY.When Kim took over her role, the community was sitting at 54% occupancy. Fast forward to today, and they're celebrating a full house—100% occupancy. We dive into how she made that happen, what a day in her life looks like, and how she balances empathy with sales strategy.Kim shares how “eating the frog” has become her secret weapon for setting the tone each day, how she builds authentic connections with residents and their families, and the creative marketing tactics (like “Seniors With Signs”) that are getting noticed online and in the community.We also discuss the less glamorous aspects of the job, like dealing with paid aggregators and hearing the word “no”, and how Kim has shifted her mindset to turn those challenges into opportunities.Whether you're in senior living or just looking for a fresh take on sales, marketing, and leadership, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and good vibes.

This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandy Starr is joined by Jamie Walsh, a seasoned expert in go-to-market strategies with over 10 years in B2B SaaS. Together, they break down how a company overcame the entrenched challenge of sales and marketing misalignment, turning a reactive and fractured go-to-market approach into a proactive, revenue-aligned engine. They discuss Jamie's strategic use of empathy and targeted alignment with top sales performers, sharing real-world insights on achieving cohesive team operations and driving significant revenue growth. If you're looking to enhance alignment and efficiency in your sales and marketing teams, this episode is for you.  Episode Type: Case Study  Revenue leaders who've been in the trenches share how they tackled real challenges—what worked, what didn't, and what you can apply to your own strategy. These episodes go beyond theory, breaking down real-world implementation stories with concrete examples, step-by-step insights, and measurable outcomes.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: Overcoming Sales and Marketing Misalignment [00:00:35] Brandy Starr introduces sales and marketing misalignment as a costly challenge resulting in inefficiency. Jamie Walsh recounts his experience with siloed teams and how he built a proactive revenue-aligned machine. The discussion emphasizes the importance of co-owning success and consistent messaging to avoid expensive pitfalls.  Topic #2: Leading Through Empathetic Leadership [00:08:55] Jamie Walsh shares how his unique background in various roles within the company enabled him to lead with empathy. By understanding different team motivations, he fostered trust and credibility, essential for aligning sales and marketing. His approach included open conversations and understanding, which helped bridge the gaps between departments.  Topic #3: Strategic Competitive Enablement [00:22:34] Jamie Walsh discusses the introduction of a competitive enablement program that targeted top competitors. He highlights how focusing on the top five competitors led to significant wins, including closing the largest deal in company history. This strategic decision showcases the impact of prioritizing resources and aligning efforts for maximum competitive advantage.  The Big Win  Through strategic deal support and competitive enablement, Jamie Walsh helped his company close the largest deal in its history, demonstrating the power of proactive sales and marketing alignment.  Key Learning If you were talking to someone with the same challenge that you were before solving this, what's the first thing you'd tell them?  Jamie emphasized the importance of having clarity on objectives right from the start. He advised identifying the biggest problems that need tackling within a short time frame, like 90 days, to make a noticeable impact. Building a plan that focuses on efficiency and alignment with clear goals ensures meaningful progress.  Buzzword Banishment Jamie's buzzword to banish is "optimize." He dislikes this term because it is overused and implies that the opposite would be to degrade, which doesn't make much sense. Jamie believes that the constant use of "optimize" doesn't add value, as it's a given that everyone wants things to work at their best.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiepwalsh/   Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

Send us a textIn this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Tim FitzGerald joins the team to discuss key strategies for early-stage companies, particularly around navigating sales during the startup phase. With decades of experience in software sales, Tim offers his expertise on how founders can streamline sales efforts, make strategic decisions, and avoid common pitfalls when scaling their businesses.Sales as a CEO's Responsibility: Tim shares that in early-stage companies, founders often handle sales themselves, which can lead to burnout. Tim's role as a Fractional Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) helps these CEOs structure their sales processes and offload the responsibility, allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of their business.Targeting Early Adopters: One of the biggest challenges for startups is identifying the right early adopters those customers who are willing to take a risk on a new product. Tim emphasizes the importance of speaking to visionaries who are not only open to new technologies but are also eager to be part of something groundbreaking.The Power of Network-Driven Sales: Founders often start by tapping into their personal network. This “ground game” involves cold outreach, building relationships, and leveraging referrals. While cold calling isn't glamorous, it remains an essential tool for early-stage sales​.Building a Sales Playbook: Tim discusses the importance of developing a sales playbook that captures the founder's insights and strategies. As startups grow, it's critical to document the methods that have worked so that new salespeople can follow a structured approach, ensuring consistency and scalability.The Role of Founder-Led Content: One of the most effective ways for early-stage companies to gain visibility and trust is through founder-led content. Tim highlights how platforms like LinkedIn allow founders to share their journey and thought leadership, which not only attracts early adopters but also builds credibility in the market.The key to successful sales in early-stage companies is a balance between passion, strategy, and structure. Founders must leverage their networks, develop a repeatable sales process, and embrace their role as content creators. By focusing on the right customers, documenting sales strategies, and staying committed to continual improvement, founders can pave the way for growth and success. Tim's insights are a powerful reminder that, while the startup journey is challenging, it's also filled with opportunity for those willing to innovate and adapt.

One Why Beats a Thousand Whats - Agile Sales & Marketing Market research is like archeology. It helps understand the past but tells us little about the future. It gives us many ‘whats' but few ‘whys'. Of course, market research isn't useless. But it can only go so far. Consumer research includes surveys, focus groups, in-depth interviews, ethnographic studies, joint shopping trips, and other methods. The results are usually used only by marketers, and that's a mistake. Oftentimes they use them rather mechanically — for pricing decisions or advertising campaigns.
