The Revenue Vault: Inside the minds of sales leaders who build unstoppable revenue engines.

Marcus has fired about 50 people over his 13-year career leading a 110-person sales org delivering $195M a year. Most of those firings were his fault, not the reps'. In this episode, he walks through the three lessons that changed how he hires, coaches, and lets people go.

You'll get the 15-minute diagnostic to know if it's a people problem or a process problem, the real dollar cost of delaying a firing, and the one conversation that would have saved half the jobs he had to end.

Key takeaways:
  • The one question that tells you if the seat is broken before you put anyone on a PIP
  • The real cost of a delayed firing: one rep Marcus sat on cost $3.4M in unrealized revenue plus the morale hit
  • The 15-minute pull (last 20 deals, last 5 discovery notes, last 6 weeks of pipeline) that separates a skill gap from no system at all
  • The two-question conversation that gets a struggling rep to name their own gap, or admit they want out
  • Why most of Marcus's 50 firings traced back to a system he owned, not a person he hired
