Handoffs, Experimentation and Agility - Season 5: Episode # 84

Startup land can be complete chaos… shifting buyer behavior, distributed teams, tighter budgets, and AI changing how work gets done. In this episode, John Eitel, CRO at Orum, explains what it all means for modern revenue leaders and why agility is no longer optional. Together, the hosts and John explore the death of the linear funnel, the resurgence of outbound, and why what was “old” in sales is suddenly working again. John also dives into the real leverage point most teams ignore: coaching and how AI can finally make it scalable without losing the human edge. The conversation questions long-held assumptions about SDRs, role specialization, and career paths, pushing leaders to rethink how their sales org is actually structured. This is about building revenue teams that experiment faster, learn quicker, and adapt before the market forces them to.

Quote of the Show: “No longer do our buyers all come into an office and sit at a desk with a phone on it. They're in a coffee shop, they're in their homes. They're now moving targets that buy differently. And then you put AI on top of that. I think that really was the third domino in this effect. But I think probably, again, those things all coming together have really sent this thing into a spin of change here.” - John Eitel Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpM8my...
