E1B2 the Podcast with Anthony Vaughan

In this unfiltered episode of The E1B2 Collective, I talk about something too many revenue leaders miss: career mapping for AEs who don’t fit the traditional mold. Not every seller is a closer—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable. Some build trust. Some extend customer lifetime value. Some become the bridge to new markets, new partners, and long-term growth.I’ve seen too many talented AEs mismanaged, undervalued, and pushed out because they didn’t meet a narrow definition of success. This episode is a call to rethink how we design sales orgs—with learning academies, better mentorship, and room for real human contribution beyond the number.
