David Kreiger sits down with Chris Bondarenko, Chief Revenue Officer at 360 Learning, to explore what it really takes to build and scale high-performing revenue teams in today's rapidly evolving sales environment.

Chris brings a people-first approach to sales leadership that emphasizes the strategic importance of hiring the right personas, developing talent through continuous learning, and understanding where AI actually creates value versus where it falls short.

In this episode, he breaks down:

• Why top sales reps need to think like quarterbacks
• The three specific ways AI helps top performers win
• How to define clear success personas for each sales role and hire against these personas
• The two core revenue processes that must be clearly defined before any SaaS company can scale effectively

You'll also hear Chris's perspective on why people will always be the differentiator in sales, the dangers of rushing to automate without considering brand impact, and why leaders need more time to simply think about their business.

David Kreiger sits down with Thomas R. Leidigh, CEO and founder of Infinity, to unpack one of the most overlooked growth levers in sales: the buyer data hiding in your existing customer base.

After 30 years of building high-performing inside sales teams, Tom has seen the same pattern repeat itself—companies chase new logos while leaving millions in untapped revenue sitting inside their own accounts.

In this episode, Tom breaks down how analyzing your buyer data can reveal:

• Which customers are primed for upsell and cross-sell
• What unmet needs exist that your customers haven't voiced yet
• Where your true revenue potential is (and how much of it you're missing)
• How to build the sales talent and structure to actually capture that opportunity

You'll also hear how Tom's Buyerlytics® framework helps teams turn these insights into actionable, measurable growth.

If you want a clearer path to ROI-driven, sustainable revenue—starting with the customers you already have—this episode is your roadmap.
