Plus, learn how why creativity, customer discovery and humility matter more than rigid playbooks.
Tune in as Rafael breaks down how to execute these approaches in practice—including pre-close planning to 80%+ detail, turning vertical focus into competitive advantage and knowing when to make people changes immediately post-close.
