Sales Methodologies Are Killing Your Revenue Team

Most sales teams swear by Gap, Challenger, or Spin.


But these sales methodologies were never designed to align your go-to-market team.


In this episode, we sit down with Adem Manderovic — co-founder of Chief Revenue School and creator of Closed Circuit Selling — to break down why these systems are failing modern revenue teams.


We explore the commercial damage caused by Predictable Revenue, why CROs from sales backgrounds often lack the full commercial picture, and how Closed Circuit Selling provides a revenue alignment system that scales.


Tune in and learn:

+ Why Predictable Revenue broke marketing, sales, and CS alignment

+ How to engage 100% of your market — not just the 5% in-market

+ The new commercial architecture for efficient GTM teams


This episode is a must-watch for founders, marketers, and sales leaders who are sick of operating in silos and want a proven system to unify the go-to-market function.
