Something’s shifting in the air. You can feel it. Conversations with business leaders sound eerily similar: layoffs in construction, slower markets, and salespeople who usually thrive now finding things tougher. When unrelated industries start echoing the same story, it’s a signal that the Australian economy may be tightening.

And when that happens, sales teams feel it first. So how do you prepare? Not by piling on more sales training, but by strengthening your leaders — the people holding it all together under pressure from every direction. Next year will test even the best. The smartest move isn’t more hustle or more noise; it’s investing in the capability of your sales leaders to lead, coach, and manage through what’s coming.

Sales teams don’t need just another piece of software – they need a true virtual teammate. That’s what Kaddi delivers: an AI-first digital twin that helps salespeople cut through information overload, execute complex processes with confidence, and gives leaders real-time visibility into deals.

David Marshall has more than 30 years in B2B sales and sales technology. He founded Blitz Incentives and built Performio into a global leader in incentive compensation management before launching Kaddi.
David returns to The Sales Revolution to explain why the platform rebranded from Sales Grid to Caddy, how it works alongside or outside a CRM, and how early adopters are already boosting revenue per head by more than 50%.

Sales is often associated with ego – loud personalities, overconfidence, and showmanship. Yet ego is the greatest barrier to genuine connection. Exceptional salespeople are not driven by self-promotion but by authenticity and balance. They are right-sized – aware of both strengths and weaknesses and committed to serving others rather than inflating their image. Ego repels trust, while humility and presence build it.  

Ingrid explores how operating at a steady “five,” neither overblown nor self-doubting, creates deeper relationships and better results. Shifting focus from self-interest to empathetic listening reshapes sales conversations and elevates true performance.

What if your tech transformation wasn’t just about the tech? Valentina Coyne believes digital change should feel human – practical, empowering, and tailor-made for the people it’s meant to serve. Through her work at Viya Technology, Valentina helps service-based businesses design future-ready systems grounded in strategy, not just shiny objects. 

True digital transformation, she says, requires more than adopting new technology – it demands alignment between people, processes, and purpose. AI becomes truly valuable not when it replaces people, but when it enhances decision-making, supports teams, and helps deliver purposeful, scalable growth.
