Ep 9 - Discovery Reveals the Path
“If we move too quickly from discovery to selling, the true discovery stops." - Dennis Sorenson Dennis Sorenson, CEO of Cove Group and host of Think Big, Win Bigger, brings decades of enterprise sales experience — from his years at Teradata to founding his own strategic sales consultancy — to Episode 9, dedicated entirely to one of the most underestimated disciplines in the profession: discovery. His framework is built on process-driven sales and three core pillars: ambition, strategy, and execution. In this solo episode, Dennis makes the case that discovery "is not a stage in what we do in sales" — it is a continuous muscle that runs through everything, and the difference between sounding like a vendor and becoming a true strategic partner. Dennis breaks down how discovery shapes ambition planning, sharpens sales strategy, and accelerates execution. Drawing on Dr. Bob Rotella's How Champions Think and John McMahon's The Qualified Sales Leader, he explores the discipline of arriving with perspective instead of a pitch, the value of going high, wide, and deep inside customer organizations, and why slowing down in discovery actually speeds the entire sales motion. He also introduces the GHOST framework as a tool for aligning discovery to customer goals and strategy — setting the stage for upcoming episodes on strategic account planning. In This Episode: (00:00) Discovery reveals the path to ambition, strategy, and execution (03:35) What elite performers notice that average sellers miss (11:17) Discovery before the engagement: research preparation and immersion (18:00) Arriving with perspective instead of a pitch changes everything (21:20) The power of slowing down and going high, wide, and deep (25:21) Using the GHOST framework to align discovery to customer strategy Share with a sales leader or seller who's ready to build something that lasts.

Ep 8 - The Difference Between Big Ideas and Real Results with John Giese (Part II)
What would it mean for your business if your sellers stopped selling and started making an impact? Dennis Sorenson, CEO of Cove Group and host of Think Big, Win Bigger, brings back serial entrepreneur and Horizons West co-founder John Giese for Part 2 of their two-part Ambition series. In Part 1, John and Dennis broke down how leaders see opportunity that others miss and why structure and accountability are what separate ambition from results. Part 2 goes deeper. John's conviction here is simple: winning never sleeps, most people are afraid to tap into the frequency, and intent—real intent—is what separates the sellers who leave opportunity on the table from the ones who change the size of their companies entirely. From an unforgettable airplane story that proves ambition is a frequency you can live at, to the sales math that makes even 50% wrong still wildly successful, to what a martial arts master in Jacksonville, Florida taught John about discipline, etiquette, and building something that lasts—this episode ends with a direct challenge. What would you tell every seller to do differently starting tomorrow? And what does John say to the CEOs who still haven't formalized their revenue function? "Can you afford not to do this?" The answers are here. In This Episode: (00:00) Why companies and sellers keep missing the biggest opportunities right in front of them (01:53) Ambition as a frequency and the airplane story that proves it works (09:27) When preparation meets opportunity and why intent changes everything (11:51) Seeing total potential and why once you see it you cannot unsee it (13:44) The sales math that makes even 50% wrong wildly successful (14:52) What a martial arts master in Jacksonville taught about discipline and impact (20:46) Think bigger: direct advice for sellers and a challenge for CEOs Share with a sales leader or seller who's ready to build something that lasts.

Ep 7 - What Becomes Possible When You Think Bigger with John Giese (Part I)
"I was the typical sales guy. Yeah, I'll just go get it. I know everything. And I was successful, but I would have been deadly had I had this operational framework." - John Giese Dennis Sorenson, CEO of Cove Group and host of Think Big, Win Bigger, sits down with serial entrepreneur and business partner John Giese in this first part of a two-part Ambition series. John has built and led multiple businesses as CEO from the ground up, served on several boards, and co-founded Horizons West alongside Dennis. His perspective is forged through decades of real enterprise sales and leadership—not theory. John's core conviction? Ambition without structure is potential left on the table. "I was the typical sales guy," he says. "I was successful, but I would have been deadly had I had this operational framework." What happens when an $8.5 million company decides to pursue a $900 million contract—and wins half of it in 24 months? That's where this conversation starts. John and Dennis break down why most companies operate off of hope instead of opportunity, why the companies John advises can't see what's possible in front of them, and how slowing down—really slowing down—is exactly what unlocks bigger outcomes. From guerrilla-warfare CEO instincts to the discipline of trusting the process, this is what ambition looks like when it has a plan behind it. In This Episode: (00:00) John Giese and the ambition series (03:50) John's consulting world in 2023 and the one problem every client shared (08:17) How companies fail to see the opportunity sitting right in front of them (15:32) The $900 million pursuit and the 24 months that changed everything (20:27) Why slowing down is the competitive advantage most sellers never develop (25:47) Why seeing the bigger picture gives you patience in any deal Share with a sales leader or seller who's ready to build something that lasts.
