The world of outbound sales is full of bad advice, fads, and lots of fluff. Ronen Pessar and Ryan Reisert share a daily episode to help you kill the fluff and get the most from outbound sales. This show is for anyone in B2B sales.
In this episode, Ryan and Ronen break down a hard truth in outbound sales: more meetings don’t automatically mean more revenue.
They dive into why so many teams over-index on activity instead of outcomes, how market fit and timing quietly decide whether a strategy works, and why even “successful” outbound systems get abandoned too early.
This conversation also explores the long-term role of sales systems, follow-up, and the often overlooked factor behind growth: whether the market actually wants what you’re selling right now.
If you care about outbound sales, sales leadership, or building scalable revenue systems, this one hits home.

The Truth About AI in Sales Nobody Wants to Say
AI is rapidly changing sales but is it actually making people better… or just making outreach louder and less human?
In this episode, we break down where AI helps, where it fails, and why core human skills like situational awareness, authentic communication, and real conversation are becoming more valuable not less.
We also dig into the risks of over-automation, the decline of real cold calling skill, and what the next evolution of sales actually looks like when trust becomes harder to earn, not easier.
Key topics:
AI’s real role in sales (and its limits)
Why automation can hurt more than help
The lost art of cold calling
Situational awareness in modern selling
What builds trust in a noisy world
