We're bringing back a fan-favorite guest, Max Kent, CEO of Procure Services LTD and Author, on Ask The Professor. Most sales leaders are taught to treat a pipeline like a machine: if it’s jammed, just pull the lever harder. But as Max Kent argues in his new book, Don’t Shout at the Vegetables, sales teams aren't machines—they are ecosystems. And you can’t yell a plant into growing faster. Join us for this special episode as we sit down with Max to deconstruct the reality of sales leadership. We’re moving past the "hustle and grind" to look at the actual conditions required for growth within your team and their pipeline. This is an engaging episode that you don't want to miss!

Most sales teams don’t have a closing problem—they have a process problem. Without a clear framework, your pipeline becomes a guessing game. This week Professor Ben is joined by Max Kent, CEO of Procure Services LTD, as they break down the importance of a defined sales process and how it transforms your team's efficiency. This session is dedicated to the strategy behind the sale: how to build a efficient framework that shortens cycles, increases win rates, and creates a high-touch experience for every prospect. Got a question for Max and Ben? Whether you're building a process from scratch or auditing an existing one, we want to hear from you!
