How Membrain is Redefining CRM for Sales Teams with George Brontén

Sales teams don’t fail because of a lack of data, they fail because they overlook behaviours, systems, and the fundamentals that drive performance.

In this episode of Because Growth Matters, Daniel sits down with George Brontén, CEO of Membrain and author of Stop Killing Deals, to explore how complex B2B sales can be simplified and transformed.

George shares why traditional CRM systems frustrate sales teams, how shifting focus from data to behaviours changes results, and the role of AI in augmenting (not replacing) human thinking.

You’ll hear George’s take on why many CRM implementations fail, how coaching frontline managers is the biggest lever for performance, and why sales leaders need to embrace systems thinking to truly engage all stakeholders.
