Why Sales & Marketing Broke (And How to Rebuild a Modern Revenue System) ft. Tony J Hughes
Most teams feel the symptoms — pipeline gaps, misaligned targets, MQL chaos, sellers chasing “now or never” deals.
But those are signals of a deeper problem: the revenue system itself is broken.
In this episode, we sit down with Tony J Hughes and Adem Manderovic to unpack why sales and marketing drifted apart… and how to rebuild a modern revenue system that actually matches how buyers make decisions today.
We get into:
- Why predictable revenue models collapsed
- How sales stopped validating the market
- How marketing lost strategic direction to MQL targets
- And how to replace the old funnel with a closed-circuit GTM system that creates control and credibility again.
We also talk ICP, cataloguing, air cover, performance gaps, and Tony’s new book Sentient — plus what AI means for the future of selling.
Tune in and learn:
- Why the old sales & marketing playbooks broke
- How to build a shared ICP that actually aligns both teams
- Why cataloguing is the foundation for a modern GTM system
- How to create air cover that supports real sales cycles
- The future of selling in a world of advanced AI
If you’re a B2B marketer or sales leader stuck in the old predictable-revenue logic, this episode is your blueprint for rebuilding alignment and revenue performance from the ground up.
