The best startup ideas don’t start with brainstorming. They start with frustration. Anirudh Ganesh didn’t invent a new market. He spotted an obvious, painful inefficiency: boutique hotels had outdated, unusable websites, losing up to 30% of revenue to online travel agencies (OTAs). Startup ideas don’t need to be revolutionary. They need to fix something visibly broken, where the cost of doing nothing is already high. Highlights include: Referral, Referral, Referral (06:30), Cold Calling When the Math is Easy (15:50), Self Service for Cost Reduction and Customer Engagement (21:00), The Moment You Realize You Might Have Something Good (23:15), and more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!…

When Moran Mizrahi joined us on the Predictable Revenue Podcast, the conversation started with something every founder can relate to: the moment you hit a wall using a tool that clearly wasn’t designed for people like you. For Moran and Rebillia , that moment came in the subscription billing space. After years running retail and eCommerce businesses, they were spending heavily to acquire customers, only to watch them churn after one or two purchases. Subscriptions felt like the solution. But the tools were rigid, hard to use, and far from customer-centric. Highlights include: Has Anyone Actually Tried This? (03:53), Where did Rebillia’s First Customer Come From?

Collin Stewart almost canceled this episode. Not because the guest wasn’t great, he was. Dr. Jeremy Weisz , co-founder of Rise 25, helped Collin get his podcast off the ground years ago. No, Collin hesitated because the strategy they were about to talk about… was working too well. “I don’t want everyone else to start doing this,” Collin admitted. “It’s working so well right now, I almost didn’t want to share it.” So, what is this strategy? Podcasting. But not in the way you think. Highlights include: Getting Into Podcasts in the First Place (03:11), Having More than One Podcast (07:19), Working out the Model to Get Revenue from Podcasts (12:01), Benefits and Advantages of Having a Podcast (18:08), and more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!…

Sustainability in construction is no longer optional. It’s a business imperative. Large corporations and government agencies demand low-impact materials, pushing manufacturers and suppliers to adapt.

For years, conventional wisdom has said that outbound sales works in B2B but not B2C. The reason? Email. In business sales, you can source and validate work emails.

Highlights include: How and Why B2C Cold Outbound? (04:15), The Biggest Driver to Cut CAC in Half (07:08), Data Sources for B2C Outbound (10:56), Crushing Dials and Closing Deals (16:58), And more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!…

After years of leading sales teams, attending conferences, and struggling with lead attribution, he realized something: event-driven sales was broken. “You don't move up in sales leadership unless you know your numbers,” Zach explained. “But when it came to conferences and trade shows, tracking real impact was a nightmare. Slow, manual, and expensive.” The turning point? After another frustrating experience of waiting weeks for messy badge scan data, he decided to fix it.
