Wisdom Nuggets
Validate Before You Scale Your sales team can’t fix an unvalidated offer. Make sure your funnel, product-market fit, and fulfillment are locked before adding reps.
Simplicity Scales Better Too many funnels and offers slow down scale. Josh advises sticking with 1–2 high-performing funnels for million-dollar months.
Sales Ops > Just Salespeople Success isn't about throwing bodies on the phone. It’s about having systems, frameworks, and processes to support consistent performance.
Internal Urgency Beats Discounts While incentives can push fence-sitters, real urgency comes from helping clients see the cost of inaction through a strong discovery.
Metrics That Matter Most Gross and collected revenue per booked call are the truest measures of sales team efficiency—not just close rate or show rate.
