When you’re working harder than ever and still getting questioned, most leaders assume they’re the problem.

But what if the real reason you're exhausted isn’t lack of effort...it's that you’re trying to win inside a model that was never designed to show your impact?

This episode is part of a 5-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders take from reactive chaos to finally understanding, measuring, and transforming their entire Revenue Factory. Each stage represents a critical inflection point and the exact moments that separate leaders who consistently hit targets and drive real, provable results… from those who spend every quarter scrambling, duct-taping reports, and wondering why nothing is working.

This episode explores Stage 3: The Breaking Point, AKA the most emotionally charged and career-defining moment in the entire transformation journey.

What We Cover in This Episode:

Why Stage 3 is the moment leaders either break down, or break through
Why constant scrutiny, unclear reporting, and cross-functional finger-pointing aren’t personal failures, but symptoms of a broken data model
The exact frameworks that explain why you're stuck and what has to change to unlock real revenue clarity
Why duct-taped reporting, activity-based KPIs, and siloed metrics guarantee misalignment
How top-performing GTM teams rebuild their entire foundation, and why it transforms everything from credibility to win rates

This is the episode for every revenue, marketing, or GTM leader who has ever thought:

I’m exhausted from constantly defending myself.”

“I KNOW we’re making an impact, so why can’t I prove it?”

“What if the problem isn’t me… but the entire system?”
