Think AI is going to magically fix your startup's broken sales strategy? Think again—it might just be helping you fail faster.

In this episode, Simon Severino sits down with B2B sales expert Zoltan Vardy, who has generated over $2 billion in sales throughout his 30-year career. Zoltan breaks down his proven "Launch Code" sales framework to help founders master the fundamentals of B2B sales, cut through the noise, and rapidly scale their revenue.

Discover why you can't rely on AI tools to do the heavy lifting of understanding your customer. Zoltan explains how to craft a crystal-clear value proposition, why old-school relationship building is making a massive comeback, and how rapid inbound follow-ups can be your ultimate competitive advantage.

In this video, you will learn:
The Launch Code Framework: How to apply the 3 pillars of Focus, Structure, and Scale to your business.
The Biggest Messaging Mistake: Why trying to sell everything to everybody means you are selling nothing to nobody.
Founder Hiring Traps: Why hiring a salesperson based purely on their corporate logo history is usually a disaster for early-stage startups.
Smart AI Integration: The exact three ways founders *should* use AI in sales—lead identification, consumer insights, and messaging—without getting overwhelmed by endless tools.
Prospecting Secrets: Why your outreach must focus entirely on the specific problem you solve, rather than just talking about what your company does.
