Most revenue leaders chase numbers they can’t actually control.
The best ones build systems that compound.
In this episode of Revenue Leaders, we break down why revenue is a lagging indicator — and how partnerships and ecosystems are becoming the most reliable way to drive predictable B2B growth.
Our guest, Brian Williams, shares real-world lessons from building and scaling partner ecosystems, including what worked, what failed, and why most companies misunderstand partnerships completely.
You’ll learn:
Why you can’t control revenue — and what you can control instead
How partner ecosystems drive pipeline, retention, and larger deals
Why partnerships fail when treated like a short-term sales channel
How revenue leaders should think about 12–18 month growth strategies
How founders, CROs, and sales leaders can build a partner-led GTM motion
This episode is for founders, CROs, revenue leaders, sales managers, and RevOps teams who want to stop chasing short-term wins and start building durable, scalable growth engines.
If you sell complex or B2B deals, manage sales teams, or lead go-to-market strategy, this episode is for you.
