What they are known for

Keith Fleming writes about diagnosing and improving sales execution.

  • Across the posts, the recurring point is that weak results may come from gaps in the sales system—not a lack of leads, effort, or talent.
  • Fleming looks at what happens between strategy and day-to-day work: lead follow-up, CRM use, manager coaching, pipeline discipline, and handoffs.
  • The posts describe experience building sales teams and improving go-to-market operations, but do not identify an employer or provide a career history.
  • Readers interested in practical ways to spot where sales performance is leaking can start with the post about a business that had enough leads but was losing them through poor handling.

Fleming connects misalignment to specific questions and fixes.

  • In the lead-handling example, the post moves from the owner’s request for more leads to questions about response speed, ownership, process consistency, manager oversight, and whether the CRM helps or hinders the work.
  • It then describes clarifying responsibilities, setting response expectations, simplifying the CRM workflow, and improving follow-up.
  • Other posts apply the same diagnostic approach to gaps between strategy and field execution, forecast confidence and deal progress, and manager meetings and rep development.
  • The work is useful for readers who want to examine how a sales operation functions rather than defaulting to more activity or pressure.
  • The posts describe three LinkedIn examples; ask Fleming for details about any signature books, shows, or earlier work.

Ideas and priorities

Fleming argues that revenue problems are usually misdiagnosed as demand or talent shortages.

Read more

Across the posts, the recurring position is that businesses leak performance after the lead arrives or between strategy and field execution, and that the fix starts with diagnosing what is actually happening before spending more.

  • They treat sales leadership as system building: clarify ownership, response expectations, CRM processes, follow-up, manager cadence and standards.
  • The arguments draw on a lead-handling case, a list of sales-team mechanics and a catalogue of hidden revenue gaps.

Most lead problems are lead-handling problems

Fleming argues that when a business says it needs more leads, the real issue often comes after the lead arrives: who responds, how quickly, what they say, whether a process exists and whether managers inspect it.

Read more

Spending more on demand without repairing the handling system wastes prospects already paid for. The fix: clarify ownership, tighten response expectations, simplify the CRM process, improve follow-up and give managers a way to inspect performance without hovering.

A client described as already generating more than enough leads was about to spend more on marketing.

  • Fleming says they mapped what happened from first contact, then repaired ownership, response expectations, CRM processes, follow-up and manager review.
  • The business stopped wasting the leads it already had.

Sales teams lose on execution, not talent

Fleming's recurring position is that strategy usually sounds good in the boardroom but dilutes before it reaches the field.

Read more

The failure chain: a message that fades, an inconsistent process, a half-used CRM, managers reacting instead of coaching, and reps working from fragments. The priority is closing the gap between strategy and execution, potential and performance, and teams that hope to win versus teams built to win.

Fleming lists firsthand experience building inside sales teams from zero, scaling go-to-market engines, moving companies upmarket and rebuilding sales processes, pricing, packaging, CRM discipline, manager cadence, pipeline rigor, forecasting, onboarding and handoffs.

Read original

Standards and cadence matter more than motivation

Fleming argues that championship teams are built on standards, not motivation alone.

Read more

They pair common sales beliefs with the structure that makes each one work: talent without structure underperforms, effort without direction burns people out, and culture without accountability becomes a slogan. The operating list includes clear roles, clean process, daily cadence, strong coaching, honest feedback, shared language, visible metrics and emotional discipline.

Fleming says they come from athletics and that this lens has never left them. They apply it to team environments where people knew the standard, the score, what winning required and that their leader was in it with them.

Revenue breaks in hidden gaps, not one place

Fleming catalogues gaps that stay invisible: strategy versus field execution, what leadership believes versus what the CRM reveals, marketing activity versus sales follow-up, manager meetings versus actual rep development, forecast confidence versus real deal progression, and customer promises versus operational delivery.

Read more

When those gaps stay hidden, everyone works harder without making progress. The alternative is a better system: clearer process, cleaner cadence, a more honest pipeline, a stronger management rhythm, better handoffs and better coaching.

Fleming contrasts more calls, meetings, campaigns and updates with actual progress. Sometimes the team needs a better system, not more pressure.

Read original

The best sales leaders are system builders

Fleming extends the gap analysis into a definition of sales leadership.

Read more

The best sales leaders, in this account, do more than motivate: they assess what is broken, rebuild the mechanics, develop people, create cadence and drive growth. Revenue performance is a matter of alignment, not more noise.

Fleming says building sales organizations is different from just selling, and asks where readers most often see revenue performance break down: strategy, execution, CRM discipline, manager cadence or cross-functional handoffs.

A practitioner positioning for a mandate, not selling a packaged offer

The posts mix diagnostic advisory language with an active search for a senior in-house role.

Read more

One invites owners to a 30-minute private advisory conversation.

  • Another states that Fleming is exploring senior sales leadership, revenue performance and GTM execution opportunities, with a mandate to build the team, fix the system, create discipline, improve execution and win.
  • Treat these closing invitations as a statement of the work they want, not evidence of a fixed product or sponsorship offer.

One post ends with a link to a private advisory conversation; another lists role interests; a third asks where revenue performance most often breaks down, as a discussion prompt rather than a service offer.

The posts carry no visible publication dates, so the chronology is unclear: they move between advisory diagnosis, an in-house leadership search and a systems argument. Ask Fleming how these activities fit together.

Start with their work

"Something in this business just isn't working"

This is the clearest introduction to how Keith Fleming works.

Read more

It answers the question a newcomer is most likely to ask: when a company calls, what do they do first? The post shows the diagnosis in action rather than describing it abstractly.

A client was already generating more than enough leads but insisted the fix was more marketing spend.

  • Fleming reframes the problem as lead handling, not lead generation: who responds, how quickly and with what message; whether a process exists and people follow it; whether managers check; and whether the CRM helps people work or just adds work.
  • The post traces the questions, then the repair: clarify ownership, tighten response expectations, simplify the CRM workflow, improve follow-up, and give managers a way to inspect performance without hovering.
  • The stated outcome: the business stopped wasting the leads it already had.
  • Fleming concludes that most business problems stem from misalignment between sales, marketing, operations, and leadership.

For brands planning a campaign

Useful when a buyer has a pipeline but weak conversion. It makes the case for a campaign or engagement focused on response speed and CRM discipline, not top-of-funnel volume, and anchors the pitch with a before-and-after story.

"Most teams don't lose because they lack talent"

This post explains what Fleming says they have built and the perspective they bring.

Read more

Read it after the first post to see the background and operating beliefs behind the diagnosis.

The argument: sales teams fail on execution, not talent.

  • Strategy is clear in the boardroom but diluted by the time it reaches the field, where processes are inconsistent, the CRM is half-used, and managers react instead of coaching.
  • Fleming cites firsthand work building inside sales teams from zero, scaling go-to-market engines, moving companies upmarket, and rebuilding sales processes, pricing, packaging, CRM discipline, manager cadence, pipeline rigor, forecasting, onboarding, and handoffs.
  • They name an athletics background as a lasting influence and distil their approach to standards, not motivation: clear roles, clean process, daily cadence, strong coaching, honest feedback, shared language, and visible metrics.
  • Fleming says they are exploring senior sales leadership, revenue performance, and go-to-market execution roles, with a mandate to build the team, fix the system, create discipline, improve execution, and win.

For brands planning a campaign

Relevant to positioning and partnership terms.

  • The post says Fleming is actively seeking a senior in-house leadership role.
  • Confirm current availability before planning an engagement; the natural fit is interim or advisory sales-execution work, not pure content promotion.

"Revenue rarely breaks in one place"

This post shows how Fleming's thinking extends beyond one client story.

Read more

It distils the recurring argument that connects the other two posts, making it the best single read for someone short on time.

The post lists the gaps Fleming looks for: between strategy and field execution; leadership's view and what the CRM reveals; marketing activity and sales follow-up; manager meetings and actual rep development; forecast confidence and real deal progression; and customer promises and operational delivery.

  • When these gaps stay hidden, everyone works harder — more calls, meetings, campaigns, and updates — without progress.
  • Fleming advocates a better system: clearer processes, cleaner cadence, a more honest pipeline, a stronger management rhythm, better handoffs and coaching, and closer alignment between company goals and what the sales organisation is built to execute.
  • The post casts the best sales leaders as system builders, not motivators, and says this is the work Fleming helps companies do.

For brands planning a campaign

A useful framing document for a campaign. Its categories lend themselves to diagnostic formats such as a gap-assessment checklist or self-scoring tool, which a sales-improvement or revenue-operations brand could co-produce.

Diagnosing the real problem before spending more on demand

Keith Fleming's posts often start with a symptom that turns out to be the wrong diagnosis.

Read more

In the lead-handling example, an owner wanted more leads, but Fleming found the business was already generating enough qualified prospects and losing them after they arrived.

  • They map what is actually happening — who responds, how quickly, what they say, whether a process exists, and whether managers inspect it — rather than what the team believes is happening.
  • They frame most business problems as symptoms of misalignment among sales, marketing, operations, and leadership.

Walks the intake conversation back to the underlying process, then maps the current flow from first lead contact before recommending changes.

Fleming allows that the sales-and-marketing answer is sometimes correct, so the content should not be framed as an argument against investing in demand.

For brands planning a campaign

A useful voice for content that challenges the default “generate more leads” answer and examines speed-to-lead, response consistency, ownership, and follow-up instead. Strong fit for a sales execution or revenue operations brief where the buyer has demand but poor conversion.

Examples: Source 1

Lead handling, CRM friction, and manager inspection

The lead-handling analysis names specific mechanics: unclear standards for what good looks like, inconsistent process, a CRM that creates work instead of removing it, weak follow-up, and managers without a way to inspect performance.

Read more

Fleming's described fix was to simplify the CRM workflow, clarify ownership, tighten response expectations, and give managers a review method that does not require standing over people.

Ties each failure to a concrete operating element — ownership, response time, follow-up, CRM workflow, manager cadence — rather than treating it as an attitude problem.

For brands planning a campaign

Gives a B2B SaaS vendor concrete hooks for revenue operations messaging around CRM adoption, lead routing, and coaching tools. Useful for a sales execution improvement brief because the recommendations focus on process, not motivation.

Examples: Source 1

Team performance as a gap between strategy and field execution

Fleming argues that sales teams rarely lose for lack of talent; they lose because strategy dilutes before reaching the field.

Read more

The failure chain they describe runs from a message that fades to an inconsistent process, a half-used CRM, managers reacting instead of coaching, and reps working from fragments. They position the work around closing the gaps between strategy and execution, potential and performance, and teams that hope to win versus teams built to win.

Lists the broken links in the chain — process, CRM discipline, manager cadence, pipeline rigor, forecasting, onboarding, handoffs — and pairs them with the standards Fleming says championship teams share.

For brands planning a campaign

Supports content aimed at sales leaders with a sound strategy but weak field execution. Useful for positioning enablement, coaching, or revenue operations offerings as the missing structure rather than another tool.

Examples: Source 1

Standards, cadence, and coaching over motivation

Across the team-performance posts, Fleming argues that structure outperforms inspiration.

Read more

They name clear roles, clean process, daily cadence, strong coaching, honest feedback, shared language, visible metrics, and emotional discipline as what distinguishes high-performing teams. Drawing on an athletics background, they make the point that talent without structure underperforms, effort without direction burns people out, and culture without accountability becomes a slogan.

Reframes popular sales beliefs about talent, effort, and culture by naming the structural conditions that make them work.

For brands planning a campaign

Useful for messaging about sales coaching platforms, cadence and pipeline discipline, and manager effectiveness. The pattern of pairing a common belief with its missing structure suits comparison or checklist content.

Examples: Source 1

Hidden revenue gaps: pipeline honesty and manager rhythm

Fleming's third argument catalogs hidden gaps: strategy versus field execution, what leadership believes versus what the CRM shows, marketing activity versus sales follow-up, manager meetings versus actual rep development, forecast confidence versus real deal progression, and customer promises versus operational delivery.

Read more

When these gaps stay hidden, they say, everyone works harder — more calls, more meetings, more campaigns, more updates — while activity rises without progress.

Identifies each gap as a matched pair, then argues that the team needs a better system rather than more pressure: clearer process, cleaner cadence, more honest pipeline, stronger management rhythm, better handoffs, and coaching.

For brands planning a campaign

Directly usable for revenue operations and forecasting content. The distinction between activity and progress gives a B2B SaaS brand a credible angle for pipeline inspection, forecast accuracy, and handoff tooling.

Examples: Source 1

How Fleming delivers the argument: narrative cases and structured list posts

The posts use two formats.

Read more

The lead-handling piece is a narrative case with dialogue, a named client situation, and a step-by-step account of what changed.

  • The team-performance and revenue-gap posts are structured manifestos with bolded claims, arrows and check marks, paired contrasts, and short numbered lists of standards or gaps.
  • Both formats build toward an invitation to a conversation with owners or sales leaders.

Uses a story to diagnose a specific business problem and a list framework to state a general principle.

For brands planning a campaign

The format works well for co-created content: list posts map cleanly to checklist or comparison pieces, while the case narrative supports longer-form or case-study collaboration.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3

Current positioning toward hiring and advisory conversations

One post says Fleming is exploring senior sales leadership, revenue performance, and GTM execution opportunities.

Read more

It closes with an invitation to talk with companies whose strategy is strong but field execution needs sharpening.

Ends posts with a direct call to a private conversation with owners or business leaders.

The posts do not specify sponsorship formats or commercial offers. Ask what partnership options are available before assessing fit.

For brands planning a campaign

Confirms an advisory and leadership-oriented audience, which matters when a brand needs a creator who speaks to sales and revenue decision-makers rather than general business readers.

Topics and similar creators

Keith Fleming's posts are a short, focused body of work, so the fastest way to explore them is to read one narrative case and one structured list post back to back.

Read more

The case describes a client that already had enough leads and was about to spend more on marketing; they map what happened after each lead arrived and rebuild ownership, response expectations, CRM processes, follow-up, and manager review.

  • The list posts state the general version of that argument: teams lose on execution rather than talent, standards and cadence beat motivation, and revenue leaks through hidden gaps between strategy and field work, between what leadership believes and what the CRM shows, and between marketing activity and sales follow-up.
  • If the diagnostic, system-building angle is what you want to follow, Andrew Wright and Rosalyn Santa Elena extend it in different directions below, while Nate Stoltenow takes a narrower, partnership-focused cut of sales execution.

Andrew Wright

Wright starts from the same premise as Fleming: the numbers tell you something is wrong but not what to change.

Read more

Wright goes to the actual sales conversations, listening to how reps question buyers, where interest drops, and which objections keep recurring, and treats objections as something to understand rather than a script to memorize. Like Fleming, Wright ties underperformance to weak next steps, carried deals, and forecast stages that hide whether anything is really moving.

Wright's method is conversation-level diagnosis: listening to calls and reading objection patterns before deciding whether a rep needs coaching or the approach needs to change.

  • Fleming works one level up, mapping the whole lead-handling system and the operating elements around it, such as ownership, CRM processes, manager cadence, and inspection.
  • Wright also writes in a restrained first-person essay style, while Fleming alternates narrative cases with bolded list frameworks.

Rosalyn Santa Elena

Santa Elena shares Fleming's conviction that revenue problems are process problems.

Read more

Her forecasting piece lists the same kinds of hidden defects Fleming catalogues: inconsistent rep data entry, stage definitions nobody understands, gut-feel methodology, slipping close dates, and commit categories meaning different things to different managers. Her answer is likewise operational rather than motivational: write down forecast categories, align stage exit criteria, gate stage movement with required fields, and hold the same cadence every week.

Santa Elena stays close to the revenue operations toolkit and the platform admin role, with concrete checklists on forecasting, license allocation, and Salesforce administration, and an explicit argument that being perceived as a business partner beats being an order taker.

  • Fleming's material is broader in scope and lighter on tooling: diagnosing misalignment across sales, marketing, operations, and leadership, then rebuilding team standards and leadership cadence.
  • A reader who wants hands-on RevOps process steps should start with Santa Elena; one who wants the leadership diagnosis first should start with Fleming.

Read original · Original 2

Nate Stoltenow

Stoltenow pushes against a default sales habit the same way Fleming pushes against the default demand-gen answer, and both argue that the basics have to work before anything newer does.

Read more

Stoltenow's point that a leaking funnel, messy handoffs, and no visibility into stalled deals will not be fixed by an AI tool is close to Fleming's claim that more activity around a weak process only adds noise. Both also treat the buyer relationship and the quality of each next step as the thing that decides the deal.

Stoltenow's focus is the proposal and closing conversation and the partnerships built around it, argued from a specific client result and framed as a repeatable tactic.

  • Fleming's focus is upstream of that, at lead handling and the operating system behind a sales team, and is aimed at owners and sales leaders reviewing whether the whole function is aligned.
  • Stoltenow also writes more about the agencies and partners around a business, which Fleming's posts do not cover.

Audience

Keith Fleming's measurable audience figure is a LinkedIn following of about 4,200 as of October 9, 2026.

Read more

For a campaign aimed at B2B sales execution, that is a small but plausibly well-targeted audience: enough reach for a niche advisory or revenue-operations placement, but not a broad awareness push or a mass-market sales channel.

  • Three posts address owners, sales leaders, and revenue operators: one on misdiagnosed lead problems, one on building sales teams through standards rather than motivation, and one on gaps between strategy, CRM data, and field execution.
  • The posts assume readers who manage or run a sales function, referencing CRM complaints, manager-coaching cadence, forecast confidence, and a 30-minute private advisory conversation.
  • They indicate the intended reader, but not who actually reads the posts.
  • The posts provide no breakdown by geography, age, gender, employer, industry, seniority, or job function.
  • A buyer therefore cannot tell whether their followers are specifically B2B SaaS sales leaders or a wider mix of business owners and sales managers.
  • Before committing to a campaign targeting a specific segment, request an audience survey or platform analytics showing followers' industries, company sizes, and job functions, plus recent impressions, engagement, and profile visits for comparable posts.
  • If the campaign needs to reach B2B SaaS revenue leaders rather than sales leadership generally, the audience data will determine whether they're a fit.

Partnership options

Keith Fleming's posts offer no sponsorship, brand-partnership, or paid-collaboration product.

They focus on sales-execution commentary for owners and business leaders; the only commercial step is a private advisory conversation for companies seeking help diagnosing and repairing sales process, CRM, and follow-up problems.

  • That is a consulting engagement, not a media or sponsorship product.
  • The posts don't specify sponsorship deliverables, pricing, approval, disclosure, or whether they accept partnerships; brands should confirm those terms directly.

Campaign fit

A campaign to shortlist

Brief A: a B2B SaaS company selling revenue operations or sales-execution software wants a creator to carry a campaign arguing that buyers should fix the pipeline they already have before spending more on demand.

Read more

This is the strongest fit Keith Fleming's posts support, for specific reasons.

  • Topic match is direct.
  • Two of the three posts address the exact problem this software category sells against.
  • The lead-handling post describes a company that already had enough qualified prospects but was losing them after they arrived.
  • It lists the mechanics that were repaired: unclear standards, inconsistent process, a CRM that created work instead of removing it, weak follow-up, and managers with no way to inspect performance without hovering over people.
  • The revenue-gaps post names the same failure points as paired gaps, including leadership belief versus what the CRM shows, forecast confidence versus real deal progression, and marketing activity versus sales follow-up.
  • That is usable material for pipeline inspection, routing, speed-to-lead, and forecast-accuracy messaging.
  • The commercial format lines up.
  • The posts do not show a sponsorship product, so treat this as a co-produced content or advisory-style engagement rather than a paid media placement.
  • They close by inviting owners and sales leaders into a private advisory conversation, the same shape as a co-hosted workshop or diagnostic session with a vendor's prospects.
  • Audience direction is right, even though audience size is not.
  • The posts address people who already run or manage a sales function, using language they know: CRM discipline, manager cadence, pipeline rigor, onboarding, handoffs.
  • A vendor targeting sales and revenue leaders is speaking to the group the content addresses.
  • Set expectations honestly.
  • The only measured audience figure is a LinkedIn following of about 4,200 (observed 9 October 2026).
  • That is a niche credibility placement, not a reach buy.
  • The posts provide no audience-composition data or prior-post performance figures, and no documented rate card or deliverables.
  • Before committing budget, ask for platform analytics and post results, confirm current availability, and clarify whether a paid collaboration is offered.
  • One post states an active search for a senior in-house sales leadership role, which may limit how much ongoing campaign work is realistic.

When to choose a specialist

Brief B: a consumer-facing brand, or a B2B brand seeking broad awareness at scale, wants a paid sponsorship with defined deliverables, disclosure terms, and reach targets.

Read more

A concrete example: a consumer fintech launching a mass-market savings app wants a creator to front a paid post series plus a sponsored video, measured on impressions and reach.

  • This fails on four separate grounds, each apparent in the posts.
  • There is no commercial format to buy.
  • The posts do not describe a sponsorship, partnership, or paid-collaboration offering.
  • The only commercial step they point to is a private advisory conversation for companies seeking help with sales process and execution.
  • That is a consulting engagement, not a media product.
  • No deliverables, pricing, approval process, or disclosure terms are described, so a brand planning a sponsorship would be buying something not shown to exist.
  • Ask directly whether sponsorships are offered and, if so, confirm the format and terms before planning a campaign.
  • Audience scale and composition do not support a reach goal.
  • The single measured figure is a LinkedIn following of roughly 4,200.
  • The posts provide no geography, age, employer, industry, seniority, or job-function breakdown, so there is nothing to check against a consumer segment.
  • An awareness campaign measured on impressions has no supportable baseline here.
  • The subject matter does not travel to a consumer audience.
  • Every post addresses owners, sales leaders, and revenue operators, using operating vocabulary: CRM workflows, manager inspection, forecasting, pipeline honesty, handoffs.
  • A consumer savings-app message would have to be rebuilt from scratch; the posts show no consumer product content, demonstrations, or lifestyle formats to build on.
  • Availability is an open question for a brand planning a multi-month paid campaign.
  • One post states that Keith Fleming is exploring senior in-house sales leadership, revenue performance, and go-to-market roles.
  • Confirm availability before treating the engagement as open.
A worked campaign example

Worked angle for Brief A — the revenue-operations software company.

Campaign idea: "You already paid for those leads."

  • The premise comes from the strongest narrative in the posts: a client was generating more than enough qualified prospects and was about to spend more on marketing to feed a system that was already leaking.
  • The campaign turns that story into a diagnostic that the vendor's prospects can run on themselves.

Asset 1 — self-assessment.

  • Build a short scored checklist from the six gaps named in the revenue-gaps post: strategy versus field execution, what leadership believes versus what the CRM reveals, marketing activity versus sales follow-up, manager meetings versus actual rep development, forecast confidence versus real deal progression, customer promises versus operational delivery.
  • Turn each gap into a question with a low-to-high scale.
  • The post already supplies the categories, so this is an edit rather than an invention.

Asset 2 — the case narrative.

  • Model a long-form piece on the lead-handling post: the intake call, the owner's assumption that the answer is more leads, the questions asked (who responds, how quickly, what they say, whether a process exists, whether managers inspect any of it, whether the CRM helps or adds work), then the repair and the outcome.
  • The vendor supplies its own anonymised customer equivalent so the piece carries product-specific proof rather than borrowing Fleming's client story.

Asset 3 — the conversation.

  • A 30-minute diagnostic session co-hosted with the vendor, following the format the posts use to close: a private advisory conversation for owners and business leaders.
  • Run ten to fifteen sessions with qualified prospects, each producing a gap score and a written next-step summary.

Supporting content. Publish a manager-cadence checklist drawn from the standards list — clear roles, clean process, daily cadence, strong coaching, honest feedback, shared language, visible metrics — as a standalone asset that works outside the article.

Distribution and measure.

  • LinkedIn is the natural primary channel, with the checklist and case piece as portable assets and the sessions as the conversion event.
  • Measure booked qualified conversations and completed assessments, not follower reach.
  • The available audience figure is about 4,200 followers.
  • The posts provide no post-level performance data, so impression targets cannot be set from them and should not be promised.

What to verify before launch.

  • Confirm availability given the stated search for an in-house leadership role, whether a paid collaboration is offered at all, since no format or terms are described, and whether the vendor's own evidence supports the gap framework.
  • The six gaps are generic categories until a product-specific example is attached to each.

Who else to consider

Andrew Wright

Choose Andrew Wright when the campaign centers on a diagnostic conversation about sales execution: why missed numbers usually mean a weak process rather than too little activity, and how to read real sales conversations before deciding what to change.

Read more

Both posts work this angle.

  • The first uses a mid-year review frame — missed targets, slipped deals, weak forecasts — to push back on the reflexive answer of more calls and more pressure.
  • Instead, it asks what has to improve so the work turns into revenue.
  • The second walks through their diagnostic approach: listen to how reps talk with buyers, look at the questions they ask, notice where the buyer loses interest, and treat a repeated objection as information rather than a line to memorise.
  • A vendor whose message is that the pipeline is leaking can use this framing directly.

Andrew Wright's posts stay closer to conversation and coaching than to the operational machinery a revenue-operations vendor may want to feature: forecasting categories, CRM stage gates, required fields, and system governance do not appear.

  • If one asset needs to move from diagnosis into CRM and operations mechanics, Keith Fleming's posts pair the misalignment story with CRM friction, manager inspection, and follow-up quality.
  • Ask for an asset that covers those operational details.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Rosalyn Santa Elena

Choose Rosalyn Santa Elena when the campaign has to explain forecasting discipline and revenue operations as a business function rather than a support role.

Read more

The posts give concrete process steps a vendor can build assets from: define forecast categories in writing, align stage definitions and exit criteria across the organisation, gate stage movement with required fields, hold the same forecasting cadence every week, track accuracy over time by rep and manager, pressure-test the numbers with historical conversion rates, build an early-warning system for at-risk deals, and coach managers to inspect deals.

  • The second post makes the tactical-to-strategic RevOps shift with a worked example of a Salesforce administrator moving from 'we need more licences' to a recommendation backed by allocation data and business needs.
  • That is useful when the vendor sells forecasting, RevOps, or CRM tooling and needs a creator who models the process rather than only the argument.

Her posts focus on process and governance, staying above the sales conversation itself.

  • They do not cover lead handling or rep follow-up quality, which Keith Fleming's posts describe in detail: one client had more than enough leads but was about to spend more on marketing to feed a leaking system.
  • For a campaign about fixing how incoming leads are handled, they offer a closer narrative match.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Nate Stoltenow

Choose Nate Stoltenow when the campaign is about late-stage execution and partnerships rather than pipeline diagnosis.

Read more

The first post offers a specific deal-stage tactic: stop emailing proposals, schedule a 25-minute proposal review call, and use it to catch confusion early, get real feedback, show investment, teach the buyer how to buy, and surface other approvals.

  • The second tells a partner-led growth story built around a podcast with named collaborators.
  • It argues that companies should fix the basics before chasing AI, treat the business as an assembly line rather than a silo, and accept that ideas need implementation.
  • That fits a vendor focused on closing mechanics or partner-led scale.

These posts focus more narrowly on closing and partnership, with little on lead handling, CRM friction, forecasting, or the strategy-versus-execution gap behind a pipeline-diagnosis campaign.

  • The partnership post features specific collaborators and a podcast episode, so a vendor should check whether that story transfers to its own evidence.
  • Keith Fleming's posts cover the earlier, broader sales system — where leads go after they arrive and where the business is misaligned — which is the decision the campaign aims to change.
