Leaderboard to Leadership with Rebecca Gebhardt & Marcus Cauchi
Summary: This episode offers more than a sales leadership lesson—it’s a blueprint for transformation. Rebecca and Marcus challenge outdated thinking about leadership, relationships, and what it means to truly succeed in sales. Packed with insight and wisdom, it’s a wake-up call for anyone ready to lead with purpose and intention.
Rebecca Gebhardt’s Leaderboard to Leadership doesn’t pull any punches: promoting your top salesperson doesn’t make them a leader. Leadership isn’t just the next step up from closing deals—it’s a completely different game, and most people aren't prepared to play it. Without the right training and mindset, you're not offering them a promotion—you’re setting them up to fail.
This episode goes deeper than your standard sales talk. Rebecca and Marcus cut right to the core: real relationships. Not the transactional kind that evaporate once the contract is signed, but the ones built on trust and understanding—the relationships that last. Their message is crystal clear: if you don’t understand what your customer actually needs, you’ve already lost them.
Marcus brings the heat with AI, but not in the way you’d expect. Forget about AI as a flashy tool; Marcus shows how it can be a brutal mirror, reflecting your blind spots and challenging your assumptions. It’s not about the tech—it’s about seeing yourself clearly and growing from it.
Then there’s Marcus’s golden rule: "sell hot, not cold." If you’re wasting your time on cold calls and hard pitches, you're missing the point. Warm leads—relationships you’ve already nurtured—are the real opportunities. This isn’t just about closing the next deal; it’s about creating something that scales and sustains success.
Rebecca hits on the mindset leaders need to succeed: “abundant, bold, curious.” Leadership isn’t about resting on your past wins. It’s about staying hungry, constantly learning, and pushing even when you think you’ve arrived. It’s this mindset that gets you to the top—and keeps you there.
But Marcus takes a step back to show the big picture: Sales alone won’t cut it. To win, you need every part of your business—procurement, customer success, finance, operations, the Board, all of it—aligned around what the customer actually wants to accomplish. Silos are where good people are sent to die, too often chasing the wrong metrics for the sake of numbers. That’s how you burn relationships and your reputation.
The reality? Chasing numbers isn’t leadership. Building relationships is. Metrics might feel good in the short term, but if they come at the expense of trust, you’ve already lost the long game.
Leaderboard to Leadership (out 20th Sept 2024) isn’t a roadmap—perhaps it’s your antidote to mediocrity. It’s a guide to transforming potential into performance, not by accident, but by intention. Rebecca doesn’t hand you shortcuts; she gives you the tools to build leaders who can thrive—not just survive. Stop floundering and start leading with purpose.
What's the Ally Method™?If you’re tired of promoting your top sellers only to watch them stagnate, it’s time to change the narrative. With the ALLY Method™, I’ll show you how the difference between stagnation and transformation is the story you tell yourself. Together, we’ll rewrite that story and turn potential into performance—deliberately, not by accident.
Let’s have a conversation. Contact me, [email protected], today, and I’ll show you how coaching and training can elevate your team. If you’re ready to break silos, lead with intention, to build something lasting, the bright path is right here. Let’s walk it together.

Roee Hartuv, a former combat helicopter pilot and current expert at Winning by Design, shares insights from his unique journey from the military to revenue architect. His profound understanding of the importance of process design helps identify what works, what doesn't, and what needs to happen to meet business goals. This episode delves into the nuances of sales processes, customer acquisition, and the hidden costs that can drain a company’s resources.
Roee discusses how his interest in process design began during his time as a pilot, emphasizing the critical importance of understanding effective and ineffective processes in high-stakes environments. He provides an in-depth analysis of customer churn and its financial implications, revealing why reaching a Proof of Concept (POC) can cost $43,000 even if the customer does not convert.
Salespeople are encouraged to rethink their training, recognizing that the buyer's journey is not linear and requires strategic adjustments. Roee critiques vendor-biased sales methodologies like MEDIC and BANT, highlighting the need to focus on desired customer impacts rather than just product features and pain points.
Mapping the sales process to a non-linear buyer journey, understanding the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and their decision-making process are key topics. The episode also examines the conflicting goals of stakeholders, from VCs to profit-driven businesses, and how growth rate-driven valuations can harm long-term profitability.
A deeper understanding of customer acquisition costs beyond surface-level metrics is necessary, along with evaluating data to genuinely understand company performance. Roee explains why some companies will never recover from an unprofitable foundation, even if they pivot to customer-focused strategies. He emphasizes that poor processes lead to amplified negative outcomes with AI implementation.
To avoid over-investment, developing a solid growth plan and resisting investor pressure is crucial. Roee offers strategic advice for business success, stressing the difficulty of abandoning ineffective practices and the necessity of operational support for enterprise sales.
The dangers of a poorly managed pipeline and the resulting increase in churn are examined, along with strategies to enhance customer success activities to improve reputation and reduce churn. Roee shares the benefits of customer advisory boards and the extended role of marketing teams beyond top-of-funnel activities.
Addressing the skills gap among middle managers who thrived during the growth-at-all-costs phase is essential, preparing them for a changed business landscape. Finally, the importance of testing processes before scaling and having a measurable process to identify problems and opportunities for improvement is highlighted.

Key Takeaways:Ditch Cold Outreach: Creates distrust; focus on building relationships early.Value First: Understand buyers deeply and empower their vision.Measure Right: Prioritize value per hour, not dials or meetings.Cultural Fit: Hire right, create great work environments, avoid micromanaging.
Rethinking Sales:
Buyers engage salespeople to make confident purchase decisions. Instead of prospecting to active buyers, focus on companies that will be in the market 6-36 months out. Build relationships and understand their context before they start evaluating. When they do evaluate, you can guide them based on their specific needs rather than pitching features.
Flaws in Sales Practices:
Cold outreach has abysmal conversion rates (0.3% success), yet companies still invest heavily in it. Discounting and fake urgency often push buyers away instead of accelerating deals. Conventional discovery methods trigger buyers' fight-or-flight response by focusing on past pain. Metrics like dials, activities, and short-term pipeline drive self-oriented behaviors that are misaligned with helping buyers.
Ethical Sales Approach:
To be timely, relevant, and valuable, understand the buyer's context well in advance. Build trust by aligning with the buyer's intended outcomes, not your own sales agenda. Create "binary effects" that avoid triggering adrenaline or cortisol, and instead promote serotonin and dopamine. Operate with integrity to become the most trusted business advisor buyers know.
Improving Enablement:
Most sales managers are over-promoted individual contributors lacking real leadership skills. Recruitment and creating an environment for people to thrive should be top management priorities. Focus on coaching reps on value contribution per hour rather than micromanaging activity metrics. Consider a subscription-based coaching model to truly enable reps beyond one-time placement fees.

Key TakeawaysMary's approach focuses on rehearsing and pre-scripting effective ways to voice one's values when facing ethical conflicts, rather than just philosophical debates.Anticipating objections and finding ways to address concerns while upholding values is key, without requiring the other party to feel shamed.Self-knowledge, understanding motivations/fears of others, and normalizing ethical conflicts as part of doing business enables more constructive conversations.Practicing scenarios and developing scripts allows building "muscle memory" for voicing values effectively in real situations.Voicing Values EffectivelyUnderstand your most effective style (questioning, analysis, storytelling etc.)Anticipate objections and reasons/rationalizations for unethical behaviourFrame responses addressing the other party's fears and motivationsPosition yourself as solving a problem for them, not opposingBuild trust by demonstrating understanding of pressures they facePracticing v Role Play ScenariosUnlike role-plays, GVV scenarios have all parties working towards voicing the ethical stanceAvoids defaulting to embedded unethical arguments and rationalizationsFocuses on developing new, constructive ways to reframe and address the situationBuilds "muscle memory" for having these conversations effectivelyManaging Pressures and Ethical ConflictsUnderstand your strengths for persuasion that align with your valuesExplore the other party's fears, risks and what's at stake for themProvide substantive suggestions showing you understand their situationPosition yourself as being on their side, not simply opposing themNormalize that ethical conflicts are a normal part of business lifeContact Mary via her website:

Why Top Performers Struggle to Transfer Skills: Many top performers have honed their skills over time without fully understanding how they do what they do. When they move into management, they often tell, direct, and assume their team understands their instructions. This can lead to mismatched expectations, high turnover, and failure to deliver as a cohesive team.
In today's market, many of you may face layoffs and move into coaching, training, or consulting. Based on over 20 years of experience and observing seven recessions, history repeats. Managers become force multipliers when they learn to coach on the job, responding in the moment to what they see and hear.
Managers need to turn observations into practice moments, ensuring their team is prepared to handle real-world scenarios effectively. Is a manager's job to supervise and control, or to unleash talent, unify the team around a common purpose, and empower them to make good decisions under pressure?
Training managers to impart essential skills to their teams is crucial. Do you think the role of managers and trainers should evolve further?

Make sure you have a pen and paper ready.
Kyle Gray uses the life changing impact of the work he does to reinforce the power of story telling. He explains how we can create credibility faster and change the direction of our client's lives through strategic communication.
One of the problems we face when we're teaching or selling is that we don't understand what our audience needs to hear. We don't appreciate the limiting beliefs that keep them from working with us. And when we present from the stage we can get so lost in our teaching that we don't have time to make our offer.
Kyle suggests that if we can articulate our story better we start to understand our 'Why' better and our 'Purpose' better.
If you've been using the same old stories you crafted years ago and you've been winging it ever since, it's time to stop, listen and learn how to get the brilliance in your head to land in the minds of your prospects.

Kent Bredahl drives company growth by enhancing customer loyalty and optimizing customer lifetime value. He challenges conventional customer engagement methods and provides a diverse toolbox, including tools for measuring customer satisfaction, loyalty, retention, and overall experience. Kent emphasizes the importance of capturing the voice of the customer and tailoring loyalty measurement methods to suit individual needs, addressing concerns about survey fatigue.
Using Net Promoter Score (NPS) as an example, Kent demonstrates the impact of his approach through various customer interactions. He shares a success story from his experience working with a construction company, where engaging customers throughout the building process not only identified and rectified mistakes early but also fostered positive word-of-mouth, resulting in significant benefits.
Additionally, Kent recounts another successful endeavour with a chain of stores. NPS results revealed that renovating a store led to a 7% increase in NPS, while effective management resulted in a remarkable increase of over 30%. These examples underscore the tangible benefits of prioritizing customer loyalty and engagement strategies.
Kent's key message is to prioritize learning over metrics. He emphasizes that it's the actions taken with the insights gained, rather than the metrics themselves, that drive success. By focusing on learning and taking meaningful actions, the metrics will naturally align and improve.
