In this episode, host Robert Mendelson sits down with Carrie Tuttle, a seasoned revenue coach and fractional sales leader, to unpack the real differences between sales leadership and revenue coaching—and why both are essential to building high-performing, purpose-driven teams.
Carrie shares her insights on integrating emotional intelligence into sales leadership, advocating for mental health in the workplace, and how AI and CRM tools can be game-changers—if used thoughtfully. They explore what it means to be coachable, how to foster accountability, and why asking the right questions can unlock team potential and self-awareness. Whether you’re a CEO struggling to step back from your sales team or a new leader learning the ropes, this episode is full of wisdom, tactics, and encouragement.
