Guest: Guy Rubin, Founder & CEO at Ebsta

Most B2B SaaS leaders know their top performers carry the team, but few understand why the performance gap keeps widening.

The reality is that just 14% of reps are now responsible for 80% of revenue, and the gap between A-players and everyone else has grown to 11x. Fixing this isn’t about more training or new tools—it’s about creating consistent, data-driven sales execution across the entire go-to-market team.

In this episode, Guy Rubin, Founder & CEO of Ebsta, shares insights from the 2025 B2B GTM Benchmark Report (in partnership with Pavilion) and explains how SaaS companies can close the performance gap, improve forecast accuracy, and drive revenue by making data and behavior work together.

Key Takeaways:

Top Performers Win with Consistency: The biggest gap isn’t talent—it’s execution at every stage of the funnel.
AI Enables Better Selling, Not More Noise: When AI is used to extract insights, not automate spam, it becomes a game-changer.
Full-Cycle Reps Are Back: 45% of companies are ditching the SDR model in favor of holistic sales ownership.
Engagement Drives Forecast Accuracy: Momentum scoring predicts risk before it’s too late to course-correct.
Success = Process + Behavior + Data: Sales isn’t just about gut feel anymore—it’s finally becoming data-driven.

Guy offers CROs and CMOs a blueprint to scale what works, eliminate what doesn’t, and win more consistently—making this episode a must-listen.
