Hit Your Numbers
Will AI Replace Sales Reps?

AI avatars. Voice agents. Sales bots that never sleep. Are salespeople about to be replaced, or just redefined?


In this episode, James sits down with Mike Pritchett, serial founder and current CEO of Buzztrail, to explore the rapidly evolving world of AI-powered sales. They dig into what’s working (and what’s not) in real-world deployments, why inbound sales is broken, and how AI avatars are quietly fixing the “book a demo” funnel without killing off human sellers.

Hit Your Numbers
The Champion Playbook

In this Mastery Monday session, James breaks down the critical art of champion strategy, especially for reps realising too late in the quarter that their “champion” can’t drive the deal.


This episode explores what defines a true champion: a person who has a vested interest in your success, power and influence in the organisation, and who actively sells for you internally. It reveals the “false champion trap” many fall into when they trust someone without qualification, and outlines what to do next: requalify, multi‑thread, or move on.

How to Increase the Effectiveness of GTM Recruitment

In this episode of Hit Your Numbers, recruitment expert Luke Bartram joins James to explore how scaling companies can attract and convert top-tier sales, SDR, and CS talent in today’s saturated hiring landscape.


The conversation breaks down why traditional hiring methods no longer cut it - especially when candidates are cautious, inboxes are flooded, and employer brands often fall flat. Luke explains how recruitment must mirror the go-to-market function: candidate discovery, nurturing, and conversion are all part of a repeatable hiring engine.

The Silent Deal Killer You’re Not Addressing: Fear of the Wrong Decision

In this episode of Hit Your Numbers, we dive into a truth most sales reps miss: your deals aren’t stalling because of price or product - they’re stalling because your buyer’s afraid. Scared buyers don’t say no. They delay, second-guess, and eventually ghost you. In today’s episode, we unpack how to spot and overcome buyer indecision, before it kills your quarter.

Hit Your Numbers
Developing Champions To Win More Deals

In this episode of Hit Your Numbers, James hosts Keno Helmi, five‑time CRO (currently at Cloudbolt), for a deep dive into the art of developing champions in complex B2B deals.


They talk about how you learn to build champions (often the hard way), why just identifying one isn’t enough, and how to test someone’s strength as a champion through early signals. You’ll hear how to start with the economic buyer and ask the right questions to get introduced to people who truly move the deal forward, not just talk a good game.


Whether you’re a rep, manager, or leader accountable for forecasting, this episode will change how you think about champions and reframe your approach to deal strategy. Because every elite sale has more than just product - there’s influence, alignment, and tactical design behind it.

Selling to CFOs

In this packed episode of Hit Your Numbers, we open with two huge updates: new Sales University membership tiers - Learn, Develop, and Master - tailored to sharpen core B2B sales skills, and an upcoming Discovery Masterclass on 18 September. Spaces are limited, so head to the Learning Hub at the-revenue-enabler.com to sign up. Plus we now have 7-Day Free Trials for the Sales University.


James is joined by Katie, an AE, who’s spent five-plus years evolving her sales craft - now working directly with CFOs, finance directors, and treasurers across the UK & Ireland. She shares how pivoting to finance personas forced her to think in outcomes and ROI, not rapport; why building trust means leaving each conversation with real value - not small talk; and how effective discovery is a combination of preparation, emotional intelligence, and asking what happens if this problem stays unsolved?
