About this listen
You don’t need more RFQs.
You need a better sales system.
In this episode, Mike Fritz sits down with Nick Goellner to break down what sales actually look like in manufacturing—and why most machine shops stall at the same revenue ceilings.
We cover the real difference between marketing and sales, why prospecting is always important (but rarely urgent), and how to grow without hiring a sales team or chasing bad-fit customers.
You’ll learn how to:
- Build a simple Top 10 target list
- Prospect consistently without sounding salesy
- Reduce customer concentration risk
- Sell like a partner, not a job shop
If your shop is busy but not breaking through, this episode gives you a practical, repeatable approach to growth.
