Episode 28, Part 1 - Rory Brown: Forecasting Truth, Not Storytelling, in the Boardroom

In Part 1 of this episode, Rory Brown (Chief Commercial Officer at Kluster) reframes forecasting as an executive decision tool, not a spreadsheet ritual. He explains why many businesses still “feel” their way through board reporting, how latency and fragmented data kill credibility, and why sales forecasting becomes politics when culture rewards narratives over evidence.

Episode 27, Part 3 - Lessons from Facebook, Deliveroo and a Pandemic

In Part 3 of our episode, Matt Ring argues that ‘sales enablement’ is too narrow – the real job is revenue enablement across the full customer lifecycle.

Matt then opens up about two major crises – Facebook’s missing mobile ad product and Deliveroo’s COVID lockdown shock – before closing with clear, 2026‑ready advice for commercial leaders on propositions, processes, people, and scaling the basics with AI.

Episode 27, Part 1 - From Sky Ads to Fixing Deliveroo’s Go-To-Market

In Part 1 of this episode, global commercial leader Matt Ring charts his journey from selling TV ads at Sky to building enablement and go‑to‑market at Deliveroo. He shares the painful moment when a long‑awaited product launch flopped because no one was prepared for the change – not sales, not restaurants. Matt explains how this led to a deceptively simple “T‑shirt sizing” framework that helped Deliveroo finally coordinate product, ops, and frontline teams around change.
