If your revenue team is hitting a ceiling despite adding headcount and new tools, the problem isn't your people - it's your architecture.

In this episode, Mike Allton sits down with Amanda Rubin, SVP of Revenue at Frameplay and former EVP of Growth at Enthusiast Gaming, where she drove four consecutive years of revenue growth. Amanda unpacks what she calls the "architect's mindset" - the long-view, systems-first approach that separates true Revenue Leaders from sales managers who are simply trying to hit this quarter's number.

You'll hear how Amanda built scalable GTM frameworks from the ground up - first with nothing but a color-coded Google Sheet, and now with an AI-powered tech stack that eliminates admin drag and gives sellers back the time they need to actually sell. She breaks down exactly how she structures account lists, ladders sales teams, and deploys tools like We Flow, Fyxer AI, and Apollo to create a revenue engine that scales without breaking.

What you'll walk away with:

Why the difference between a Sales Leader and a Revenue Leader changes everything about how you build your org
How to structure account tiers so no opportunity falls through the cracks
The AI tech stack Amanda is architecting right now at Frameplay - and the honest truth about what it takes to implement it
