It’s fitting to bring home Episode 100 with none other than a legend in our industry, Ralph Barsi.
Through his work in Sales Development, Ralph has been a positive force in the lives of so many Sales Development professionals it’s hard to keep count. Myself included.
Ralph is also very active in philanthropy, volunteering and plays a mean drum solo!
Listen in as we discuss how Ralph conceptualizes his Sales Development programs and drives them to consistent success year after year, while at the same time making a positive difference in his teams’ lives and the community at large.
Great listen here!

Notable Quotes:
“As I see our practice, our world, that we’re in gaining momentum, gaining importance, gaining a real seat at the table…I see nothing but a positive momentum in the sales development world. So this podcast and the content that we put out through Tenbound will remain laser-focused on sales development.”
– David Dulany
“The tenure of your VP of Sales, the tenure of your CMO is shortening. All the studies that come out on these positions, if you are not understanding how important sales development is, polish up your resume because if you’re not creating sales appointments, pipeline, and converting to revenue, be careful because it’s more important than wherever else we’re spending our time on.”
– David Dulany
