Shownotes

Is your partnership full of agreement—but lacking actual progress? That "100%" might be hiding something much deeper (and more dangerous).

If you’re a sales or marketing leader relying on partnerships to scale, you can’t afford to fall for surface-level agreement. Too many deals derail because no one’s asking the hard questions early on—and false alignment is the silent killer.

  • Learn how to detect the subtle signs of “agreement theatre” before it derails your strategy
  • Get the exact language that signals real, engaged collaboration
  • Walk away with 3 powerful questions to kickstart any new partnership the right way

Tune into this episode now to uncover how real alignment—not blind agreement—drives partnerships that actually deliver results.

New episodes Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
