Rob Bedell has built a career helping companies uncover hidden revenue, reshape broken sales cultures, and rethink how they show up for their customers.
In this conversation, Rob breaks down why most organizations misjudge their own value, where leaders accidentally create blind spots, and why the most powerful sales shift is realizing that “it’s not about you.”
We dig into the habits that stall growth, the subtle panic patterns that distract leaders from meaningful progress, and how a simple reset with your best customers can unlock clarity you didn’t even know you were missing. Rob brings stories from manufacturing floors, publishing, sales turnarounds, comedy stages, and even the martial arts studio—all pointing to the same theme: know your audience, serve them well, and the rest takes care of itself.
