In a sales-driven industry like recruiting, making decisions based on data and analytics is critical. You can’t truly improve a process if you’re not measuring it. The problem is, many organizations rely on gut-feel decision-making, and unfortunately, they end up winging it.

On a gut-feel level, our prospecting pipeline might look good to us, but drilling down into the data shows us how well we’re really doing. Sales deals often stall because the organization isn’t properly monitoring performance indicators and using those insights to drive their actions.

Too often, sales organizations lean heavily on intuition, mistaking short-term success for sustainable strategies. Basing decisions on data and facts, instead of relying solely on gut feeling, can be the game-changer many companies need. After all, how do you know if you're being successful if you're not analyzing your progress?

In this episode, I’m joined by Shad Tidler, a consultant and coach at Lushin powered by Sandler. He shares how his engineering background helps sales organizations make better decisions by relying on analytics, not intuition.
