Sales organizations stall when knowledge stays trapped in the
heads of a few experienced people. In this Revenue Builders
replay, Frederik Maris explains how leaders turn field experience
into repeatable execution through sharper qualification, stronger
frontline management, and deliberate coaching. He shares how
conscious competence helps managers teach what top performers do
instinctively, why early wins matter for new reps, and where
leaders must take accountability when talent fails to develop.
The conversation gives CROs a practical view of the systems,
behaviors, and management discipline required to build a team
that can scale.

Frederik Maris is the Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of
EliteGTM, where he helps founders and revenue leaders build more
predictable go-to-market organizations through advisory,
recruiting, and enablement. His career includes senior leadership
roles at Splunk, Zoom, DataRobot, BMC, Veritas, and PTC, giving
him firsthand experience building and transforming complex
enterprise sales teams.
