The B2B Revenue Executive Experience

Here’s a hard truth most organizations ignore: your biggest barrier to growth isn’t your strategy, your tech stack, or even your market; it’s your employee engagement. In this episode of The B2B Revenue Executive Experience, host Cory Cotten-Potter sits down with Stephen Baer to explore how the engagement deficit is quietly destroying business productivity, and why fixing employee experience is the fastest path to improving customer experience and revenue. Most leaders assume that if people are paid well and given the right tools, performance will follow. But the rise of quiet quitting tells a different story. Employees aren’t disengaged because of compensation; they’re disengaged because of leadership, lack of development, and a broken organizational culture.

Here’s a hard truth most organizations avoid: your CRM isn’t failing because of the software; it’s failing because of your CRM strategy. In this episode of The B2B Revenue Executive Experience, host Cory Cotten-Potter sits down with Jason Kramer, Founder and CEO at Cultivize, to unpack why many companies invest heavily in platforms, features, and integrations, expecting immediate gains in sales pipeline management and visibility. But without a clearly defined process, even the most advanced systems fall short. Instead of enabling revenue optimization, the CRM becomes a fragmented repository of inconsistent data and missed opportunities.

Go-To-Market Strategy is undergoing a fundamental shift as autonomous agents begin to influence the B2B buying journey.

Drawing on leadership roles at Salesforce and Webflow, Adrian offers a clear-eyed view of how Revenue Operations must evolve to meet the "dual reality" of modern commerce: human intuition and machine discoverability.

Partner-led GTM strategy is the missing third leg of the B2B revenue stool, yet most programs fail within 12 months due to poor leadership and misaligned incentives. Most B2B organizations believe they have two revenue engines: sales and marketing. What they miss is the third. A partner-led go-to-market motion isn’t a channel tactic. It’s structural leverage. And when executed correctly, it can unlock 40–60% incremental revenue that direct sales alone cannot reach. Vaughn Mordecai, CRO at Mindmatrix, has seen this pattern repeatedly. Organizations launch partner programs reactively, assign them to junior staff, and abandon them before the motion matures. Learn how to solve the attribution crisis, align sales compensation to eliminate internal friction, and leverage AI-powered workflows to meet the demands of digital-first buyers. Vaughn shares his expert framework for transforming partnerships into a strategic growth engine that shortens sales cycles and increases deal sizes.

Pricing strategy in B2B is often driven by reactive discounting, arbitrary price increases, and sales negotiation pressure instead of value-based pricing.

He shares why most companies default to flat annual increases, how sales alignment affects pricing outcomes, and how AI-driven pricing optimization helps organizations make smarter, segmented decisions across markets and customer tiers.

Most B2B teams are losing qualified buyers not because their product is wrong, but because their sales motion is too slow to keep up with modern intent.

Most mid-market B2B companies leave between 20% and 50% of potential revenue on the table every year. Not because they’re lazy. Not because their teams lack talent.

While companies are fighting for market share and struggling with efficient growth, most of them overlook one of their most powerful levers: pricing strategy.
