Against the Odds Podcase

Sales Against The Odds

There’s no silver bullet in sales. But there are proven processes, better questions, and the right kind of leadership, and that’s what we’re here to talk about.

On Sales Against the Odds, we dig into the real challenges leaders face and share sales strategies, tactics, and hiring best practices that actually work. This isn’t about making sales sound easy or polished. It’s about what really happens in the field. The horror stories, the humor, and the humble moments, we cover it all.

Each episode, you’ll walk away with two things: stories you can relate to, and tangible actions you can take back to your business. We won’t pretend we have all the answers. But we’ve been there, we’ve seen what works, and we’re here to give you the best shot at building a sales-focused company that drives results.
