Two topics. Against the clock.
Rich opens with something most businesses aren't tracking — a funnel with no attribution, no visibility, and no data. It's where the best candidates quietly decide they're not interested, before you ever know they existed.
James follows with something he sees across almost every sales org he works with: teams loaded with tools, handed a quota and a Salesforce login, and given nothing else. He gets into what a real playbook looks like, why most teams reject the ones they do have, and what he found when his three-person business had better ICP documentation than organisations with 80 salespeople.
