In this solo episode, Bryan is joined by Zinc Partners' Matt Wittlief to dive deep into the world of Customer Relationship Management systems, focusing on how salespeople and sales leaders can leverage CRM to drive better results. 

For many sales professionals, platforms like Salesforce are seen as glorified rolodexes and just another task on their to-do list. But Matt and Bryan challenge that notion and encourage a different perspective. They discuss how to make your CRM work for you by understanding the essential information that can enhance your daily workflow, prioritize your tasks, and guide your decision-making.

The guys also explore the art and science of forecasting, from analyzing opportunities and deal stages to evaluating historical trends. They share practical strategies for creating reliable forecasts that empower your team and influence organizational decisions.
