Episode notes

In this episode of Sales Leadership with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into one of the stickiest moments in enterprise sales: the pilot that goes quiet. They break down why pilots stall, how to spot the difference between a slow internal review and a silent kill, and the specific moves top reps use to turn a stalled pilot into a renewal. Lucas shares a concrete framework from a real SaaS deal where a six-month pilot had gone dark, and walks through the exact discovery questions, the internal champion audit, and the economic buyer conversation that revived it. Luna brings a sharp counterpoint on procurement timelines and the 'pilot graveyard' problem, and the hosts discuss when to cut your losses and walk away clean. The episode is packed with actionable language for sales managers coaching their teams on post-pilot momentum. No jargon, no fluff - just practical strategy for quota carriers who want to convert proof-of-concept work into real revenue. If you've ever had a pilot fizzle out, this one's for you.
