Episode notes

In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the story of a software rep who kept losing momentum in discovery calls because the real decision-maker was hiding in plain sight. The fix wasn't a clever pitch or a discount - it was asking the buyer to share the meeting agenda before every call. That single ask forced the buyer to name who would attend, what they cared about, and why they were really meeting. The hosts break down why the agenda request works as a diagnostic tool, how it shifts power dynamics, and how to phrase it without sounding pushy. They also share a practical template listeners can adapt today. The episode is anchored in a real August 2026 case where a mid-market SaaS deal stalled for three months and closed in two weeks after the rep started requesting agendas. Great for anyone in sales, account management, or business development who wants to stop pitching to the wrong person.
