| 99 | Belief, Data, and AI: Making Confident Pricing Decisions | Bill Wilson | 12 Dec 2025 | 00:46:49 | |
In this episode, host Brendon Dennewill sits down with Bill Wilson, Founder and CEO of Pace Pricing and three-time software entrepreneur with over 20 years building and scaling SaaS companies. Bill shares how he evolved from software developer to pricing strategist after recognizing the deep anxiety founders face around pricing decisions. Through his work guiding hundreds of SaaS teams, he's discovered that pricing isn't just a numbers game—it's about alignment, belief, and understanding the jobs customers hire products to do. The conversation explores why pricing, product, and positioning cannot be separated, and how misalignment at the leadership level cascades throughout organizations, leaving money on the table. Bill unpacks his PACE framework (Profile, Architect, Calibrate, Execute) and explains why he shifted from pure data-driven decisions to building belief through iterative validation. He also tackles how AI is fundamentally reshaping SaaS business models, from enabling outcome-based pricing to introducing new cost structures that challenge traditional economies of scale. This episode is essential for SaaS founders, RevOps leaders, product executives, and B2B growth teams looking to unlock revenue through strategic pricing, eliminate cross-functional friction, and prepare their business models for an AI-driven future.

Without a doubt, the lifeblood of every company is sales. And that's why RevOps is such a critical function of a go-to-market strategy for scaling revenue and driving business growth.

They discuss the key pillars of RevOps, why product-driven growth is not strictly reserved for software companies, the importance of nurturing a culture of innovation, and so much more.

| 7 | Achieve Alignment with RevOps | Adam Stewart | 04 Feb 2022 | 00:41:17 | |
There is no RevOps playbook. However, understanding the essence of the RevOps framework can significantly help companies align their teams, improve their sales, and provide exceptional customer and employee experience. And that's not even the beginning of what RevOps can do. But is RevOps only about technology and tools? While software solutions can undoubtedly maximize the company's business operations and increase revenue, the key to success lies beyond technology. In most cases, companies pay for several programs they don't even use. So, how does that impact their revenue? In this episode of RevOps Champions, Brendon Dennewill welcomes Adam Stewart, the CMO at Denamico. The two problem-solvers get into the meaning of RevOps, the reasons companies should embrace RevOps, the role of technology and tools in a company's success, and all the challenges and obstacles they face along the way.

| 6 | Mastering the Three Pillars of RevOps | Alison Elworthy | 28 Dec 2021 | 00:34:20 | |
Unlike marketing and sales, RevOps is a relatively new player in the field. And that's the main reason why marketers and people in general usually don't understand it completely. While RevOps is often described as a method that helps businesses generate more revenue, other RevOps masterminds have a broader perspective on its significance. But no single definition can encompass the real essence of RevOps — it's like a three-layered cake where the taste of each layer is equally dominant. In the latest episode of RevOps Champions, our host Brendon Dennewill welcomes Alison Elworthy, the EVP of Revenue Operations at HubSpot. They get into the meaning of RevOps, its three pillars, the challenges that led to investing in RevOps teams, and how they, at HubSpot, perform RevOps on a daily basis.

| 5 | Overcoming Common Tech Company Challenges | Brian McLaughlin | 08 Dec 2021 | 01:03:51 | |
Moving from hardware to software and focusing on automation is what most companies — both tech and traditional ones — aim for. But, that transition is far from easy and not without its challenges. That's why every company needs to answer a few questions before diving into it. The most critical ones are: a) What is the purpose of our business? b) Do we have a skilled team? c) Is our leadership prepared for such a shift? In this episode of RevOps Champions, Brian McLaughlin, the CEO of Alula, joins our host Brendon Dennewill to discuss the most common challenges tech companies like Alula face. Brian and Brendon also touch upon the importance of trust and collaboration between the sales and marketing team as a prerequisite for business growth. Is your business ready to scale?

| 4 | Alignment and Data: The Two Vital Aspects of RevOps | Channing Ferrer | 17 Nov 2021 | 00:48:29 | |
RevOps is a fairly complex business function and data and alignment are its two most vital parts. When companies leverage data to achieve more and combine it with great marketing, sales, and service alignment, they can expect tremendous success. But other aspects, including sales comp, territory structuring, headcount planning, target setting, and change management, also play a vital role in a company's success. They are an essential part of thorough planning, and companies shouldn't rush with it. In this episode of RevOps Champions, Brendon Dennewill introduces the listeners to Channing Ferrer, the VP of Sales Operations & Strategy at HubSpot.

| 3 | Applying Abraham Lincoln's Leadership to Modern Business | Chris Heim | 10 Nov 2021 | 00:47:10 | |
A robust strategy is not the only secret ingredient for the success of any business. While strategy plays a vital role in achieving business goals, it's important to have the right people on your team and focus on them primarily. That way, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to "fill up the whole circle" and grow their companies. But what challenges does this process bring? How do entrepreneurs use the idea of "right person, right seat" to identify which people are right for their business? And what happens if the person is sitting on the wrong seat? By focusing on these aspects, a company can bring more value to its clients. In the new episode of RevOps Champions, Brendon Dennewill chats with Chris Heim, the President and CEO of AbeTech, which focuses on barcode, RFID, and IoT tech in the manufacturing space. They get into why business is about people, the key ingredients of business success, and what the idea of "digital" actually means. Is your business ready to scale?

| 2 | Solving the Problem of Child Hunger | Rob Williams | 29 Oct 2021 | 00:46:34 | |
Child hunger has always been a problem. Although schools provide food for all kids on weekdays, it doesn’t solve the problem of children going hungry over the weekend if their families cannot afford enough food during weekends. As a result, students feel sluggish and moody when Monday comes. Some students even sneak some food into their pockets to take home so they don’t go hungry over the weekend. Clearly, child hunger is a huge problem that requires immediate solutions. Luckily, two young gentlemen came up with an idea that's changed both their and the hungry children's lives. In the new episode of RevOps Champions, Brendon Dennewill welcomes Rob Williams, the President and Founder of Every Meal, a non-profit organization that helps fight child hunger. They dive into the exciting beginnings of Every Meal, its most distinguished programs, challenges, and why cultural and situational food relevancy matters when providing meals to specific groups of people.

| 1 | Capturing Data Isn't Enough | Scott Litman & Dan Mallin | 05 Oct 2021 | 00:46:17 | |
There’s no shortage of data to tap into as a business leader. When used properly, data can propel the company to new heights. But there’s also the possibility of disorganized data or data overwhelm. Departments that don’t necessarily talk to one another don’t share data resources, especially if those resources are in a format like a PowerPoint or a PDF. Even when those resources are shared, they aren’t easily searchable. Did you know the average knowledge worker spends 20-25% of their time simply looking for answers? That’s the problem that inspired this week’s RevOps Champions guests Scott Litman and Dan Mallin, founders of Lucy.ai. Seasoned entrepreneurs, Dan and Scott - who previously led and sold a very successful Salesforce practice - led their company’s growth with a focus on the customer problem and used their early-stage feedback from users to let the product mature. Building a team wasn’t a new concept for them, but they knew from past experience that the more they could integrate their team’s work together, the more employee loyalty they’d have alongside better company results overall. Host Brendon Dennewill, Scott, and Dan get into why companies need to consider embracing technology, the importance of integrating all your teams as early as possible to prevent silos, and what to expect on a successful entrepreneurial journey.

| 98 | Building A Super Culture: Why Leadership, Vision & Clarity Matter Now | Chris Cornelison | 03 Dec 2025 | 00:41:57 | |
In this episode, Chris Cornelison, bestselling author, leadership expert, and founder of SolutionsRx, joins host Brendon Dennewill to unpack how leadership, clear processes, and focused adoption of AI can transform company culture and performance. They trace Chris’s journey from inheriting a one-location pharmacy to building multi-site businesses, developing the Super Culture Framework, and helping organizations balance accountability, joy, and measurable results. The conversation centers on practical implementation: short, living documents (one-year vision, culture rules, position agreements), coaching, and using closed AI to turn processes into prompts that scale repeatable excellence. Chris shows how clarity (“clear is kind”), emotional intelligence, and data scraping with closed-AI tools accelerate onboarding, surface buried opportunities in your CRM, and make teams more productive without bloating headcount. This episode is essential listening for RevOps professionals, revenue leaders, franchise operators, and B2B growth teams who want to combine people-first leadership with pragmatic tech adoption to improve retention, speed up onboarding, and drive predictable growth.

Do you ever feel like you have all the right tools and opportunities, but your business isn't as far ahead as it should be? In this episode of the RevOps Champions podcast, host Brendon Dennewill is joined by data and AI expert Andrew James to tackle this common feeling of paralysis among today's business leaders. They dive deep into why simply adopting more technology isn't the answer and explore the real source of competitive advantage in the AI era. Andrew argues that the key to leapfrogging the competition lies not in external tools, but within your own company's data. The solution is to plumb your unique operational data—from your CRM, sales pipeline, and financials—directly into AI to make decisions with high conviction. This approach transforms AI from a confusing threat into a powerful ally, revealing the true constraints and leverage points within your business. This episode is essential for RevOps professionals, B2B executives, and any leader feeling stuck, providing a clear framework to move from analysis paralysis to profitable, data-driven action.
