In this episode of The Art and Science of Complex Sales, Paul Fuller sits down with Janice B. Gordon, founder of Scale Your Sales, to explore how revenue teams can become truly future fit.
Together, they break down why most organizations still rely on outdated, internally focused processes, why customer excellence must drive every decision, and how data informed coaching can unlock the full potential of every seller on the team.
Janice reveals why so many companies still make decisions based on internal assumptions rather than customer reality. She explains how traditional stage gated processes create blind spots and why leaders should constantly ask one question above all: What is the impact of this decision on the customer? By strengthening feedback loops, increasing customer conversations, and bringing frontline insights into strategic discussions, organizations can finally operate the way customers need them to.
Janice highlights the widening gap between modern buyer expectations and the skills revenue teams currently possess. While adaptability is crucial, she argues it cannot function without strong business acumen. Sellers must learn to interpret complex decision making units, analyze financial implications, and lead high level conversations across stakeholders. Through role play, mutual action planning, and scenario work, teams can build the strategic muscles required for today’s B2B environment.
Janice emphasizes that managers are the true leverage point in any sales organization. Yet most have never been taught how to coach effectively. She outlines how predictive assessments reveal individual seller gaps and how data informed coaching helps managers shift from deal coaching to people coaching. When leaders develop the mindset, language, and consistency to coach every rep, teams move from relying on a top twenty percent to building a strong, high performing majority.
