TechVision: From No Revenue System to a Unified Growth Engine
TechVision, an industrial solutions provider, wasn’t just misaligned. They had no system of revenue growth at all. Sales and marketing ran as separate functions, leads fell through the cracks, and no one owned the full customer journey. Growth had stalled and leadership needed a way forward.
What clicked:
AI qualified, nurtured, and routed leads in real time.
CRM and marketing automation were finally unified, eliminating handoff delays.
Engagement became personalized at scale, tied directly to buyer behavior and history.
The bigger signal: This is not unique to manufacturing. It is the reality for most companies. Without a system for how sales and marketing create, capture, and convert demand, growth is left to chance. By installing structure first and then layering AI on top, businesses can turn scattered activities into one unified revenue engine.
The hidden shifts behind the results:
AI replaced lag time. Buyers no longer waited days for a follow-up. Engagement happened instantly.
Systems replaced silos. CRM and marketing automation finally connected, creating a seamless buyer journey.
Data created alignment. Every interaction informed both sales and marketing in real time.
Structure created discipline. TechVision applied the SPARK System™ to build what did not exist:
S — Single Unified Strategy: One leader, one goal.
P — Pipeline Alignment: Map the buyer journey.
A — Accountability & Metrics: Kill vanity metrics.
R — Revenue Focus: Fix conversion before scaling.
K — Knowledge Loop: AI and feedback for continuous improvement.
Why this matters for your business:
Lead quality improves when sales and marketing run as one growth engine.
AI accelerates execution but only when a revenue system exists to support it.
No system equals wasted resources. A unified system equals compounding growth.
How to apply it as a leader:
Start by asking: Do we have a system of revenue growth, or just separate sales and marketing teams?
Unify sales and marketing under one leader with shared revenue incentives.
Map your entire buyer journey and fix the broken handoffs.
Focus on conversion first, then scale outreach.
Use AI insights to build a feedback loop that compounds results.
The results: TechVision cut sales cycles by 60%, increased qualified inbound leads by 50%, and boosted lead-to-opportunity conversion 7X.
The lesson: growth came when sales and marketing became one system of revenue growth. AI was the accelerator that made it scale.
🚀 Momentum — A custom GPT I create to help you take action today
The Negotiator’s Edge: Get Your Ideal Outcome Every Time
Negotiation is not just for dealmakers in the boardroom. It is a core leadership skill that shows up everywhere: winning contracts, pushing back on suppliers, aligning your team, securing a raise, or even deciding on a family purchase. Most people wing it and give up value without realizing it. The leaders who win consistently know how to guide conversations toward their ideal outcome without damaging trust. The Negotiator’s Edge GPT helps you practice that skill daily so you never leave what you want on the table.
Who it’s for:
Executives, operators, and leaders who want sharper influence in every situation from business deals to personal conversations.
Why it matters:
Negotiation is not just about pricing or contract terms. It is about steering outcomes in your favor in both business and life. Every conversation where you want a specific result is a negotiation. When you sharpen this skill, you:
Close deals without leaving money or value on the table
Push back confidently with suppliers, partners, or clients
Secure buy-in from teams and stakeholders faster
Navigate personal negotiations from salary raises to buying a car with ease
What it does:
The Negotiator’s Edge GPT acts as both counterpart and coach, trained on the methods, intelligence, and tactics of some of the greatest negotiators of our time, including Chris Voss, Chester Karrass, Sheryl Sandberg, and Henry Kissinger. It helps you:
Role-play: Simulate tough negotiations with real-time feedback
Coaching: Learn when to mirror, label, and ask calibrated questions to uncover leverage
Correspondence: Draft negotiation emails, proposals, and letters that protect your position while moving the other side toward agreement
Personal use: Practice scenarios outside of work from managing family decisions to handling service providers so you are confident in any situation
Bottom line: Great negotiators do not just win deals. They win trust, influence, and control across all areas of life. The Negotiator’s Edge makes you sharper every time you use it.
*Note: You will need a ChatGPT account (ideally a Plus or Team plan) to run this GPT.
Growth is not about doing more. It is about doing what matters in the right order. Most companies drown in tools, dashboards, and activity but cannot explain their system for turning a buyer signal into revenue. That is the gap.
In a 30-minute Growth Plan session I help leaders close that gap. We take what feels intangible, alignment, AI, revenue clarity, and make it tangible. You walk away with a system, not a slide deck.
also share daily, tactical playbooks at the intersection of sales, marketing, and AI over on LinkedIn.
If this issue gave you an edge, pass it on to a leader who is tired of motion without momentum.
Enjoy the rest of your week(end)!
