"Why Salesforce Implementations Fail in Growing Companies" - The Fast Slow Motion Podcast - Ep 063

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2288101/fan_mail/new] Eric Housh sits down with David Flick, Principal Account Executive at Fast Slow Motion, to unpack why so many Salesforce implementations fall short and what it actually takes to get them right. The tension is rarely technical. It's the disconnect between what leaders expect when they buy the platform and what it takes to make it work. David and Eric cover the patterns that cause implementations to struggle, including process gaps, poor adoption, weak leadership alignment, and governance that disappears once the partner leaves. They also lay out what successful implementations share: a phased approach, an MVP mindset, and a commitment to treating Salesforce as a living system rather than a one-time project.

"Why Most Companies Don’t Actually Have a Revenue System" - The Fast Slow Motion Podcast - Ep 062

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2288101/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast, Eric Housh sits down with Max Bevan, Principal Account Executive at Fast Slow Motion, to challenge a misconception most growing companies hold: that buying the right tools is the same as having a revenue system. Max argues that technology without process is just an expensive guess — and that the real problem isn't the software, it's the strategy behind it. The conversation covers why companies default to tool-shopping instead of system-building, what inconsistent data does to leadership decision-making, and how to think about the customer journey from first touch to closed revenue. Max walks through the pillars of a real revenue system and explains what it looks like when it's actually working. For founders and operators who feel like their growth still depends on heroic individual effort despite a full tech stack, this one is worth the listen.
