How to Use Sales Objection Thought Leadership for Quick Wins

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a company take your advice, make a few changes, and watch everything start to click into place.Because let’s face it: even companies with great products can hit a wall if their sales and marketing teams are out of sync. It happens more often than you’d think, and the reasons behind it aren’t always obvious.That’s precisely what happened with a company I worked with recently; let’s call them “Company A.” They reached out for help because their revenue numbers were stuck despite generating what seemed like a mountain of leads. They were putting in the effort. The original problem statement was “we have too many leads” (sounds too good to be true!!), as the results weren’t coming.

If you're an investor or CEO of a scaleup, you probably hear at every board meeting or in general that you have a pipeline problem—it's a top-of-funnel issue. We don't get enough leads, or our pipeline is flat. If we had more leads, we'd close more business—a linear relationship, right? As the CEO, you could communicate that to investors, or the CEO might get that narrative from the CMO / CRO.

Over the last three years, I've had the pleasure of advising, doing due diligence over 10+ during the previous 24 months, and coaching, advising, and working with CEOs and chairs in the UK and US. As part of that process, I've learned a lot about the acute go-to-market challenges most scale-ups have, from a starting revenue of $2 million to $25 million.
