When you’re a fractional sales consultant in the B2B space, credibility is everything.

You’re not just giving advice, you’re building repeatable B2B sales processes that founders, sales leaders, and frontline reps can follow. That’s what makes Tony Wiedenski stand out. Accelerating GTM motions is his bread and butter.

But like many fractional GTM leaders, Tony faces a classic challenge: how do you embed a sales methodology across multiple teams, without being in every single call, one-on-one, or pipeline review?

That’s where Pod came in.

Meet Tony Wiedenski and RevUp Sales

Tony Wiedenski is a former VP of Sales and founder of RevUp Sales, a consultancy that helps early-stage SaaS and B2B companies scale their go-to-market strategy. They build scalable sales motions, clean up pipeline chaos, and improve sales execution across the board.

Tony has built and rebuilt B2B sales teams, implemented sales processes, and trained hundreds of reps to drive consistent revenue.

His secret weapon? A custom-built deal progression system called D.E.A.L.

D.E.A.L.: A Sales Framework for Modern B2B Companies

D.E.A.L. is a structured approach to sales qualification and pipeline management that helps sales teams reduce guesswork and forecast based on what’s real, not what looks good in the CRM.

Here’s what it covers:

• D - Develop the business case: Is there a clear reason why this business needs to change? Here, sellers lay the groundwork for building the opportunity.
• E - Engage the buying committee: This is where the multithreading happens. Engage the right people to push the deal forward.
• A - Align your solution: This is where sellers ensure their solution is tailored to the prospect's pain points and solves their business problem.
• L - Lock in the timeline: The seller confirms next steps and maps out the deal with the buyer’s timeline. The timeline should be clear for both the prospect and the seller the whole way through the pipe.

It’s a modern blend of value-based selling and deal inspection, especially useful for teams in enterprise sales or high-ACV B2B deals.

But designing a framework is one thing. Getting reps to use it consistently? That’s the real challenge. This is what brought Tony to Pod, a tool purpose-built for embedding sales methodologies into sales workflows.

"Designing a framework isn't the hardest part. Getting every rep to actually use it in a consistent way to improve sales process compliance — that’s the hard part."

How Pod Turned a Framework Into a Living B2B Sales Process

Pod is an AI-powered sales platform that connects with your CRM, turning call transcripts, emails, and calendars into actionable insights on deal health, pipeline quality, and next-step recommendations. We offer AI deal coaching, pipeline prioritization, contact sentiment analysis, stakeholder recommendations, and more.

Tony uses Pod’s Framework Analysis feature to embed his D.E.A.L. framework into client environments.

Here’s how it works:

1. Pod analyzes call recordings, CRM notes, and email threads
2. It automatically tags which parts of the D.E.A.L. framework were covered in each deal
3. It generates a summary of what’s been discussed on each topic and suggests next steps for the rep.

This transformed D.E.A.L. from a slide in a training deck to a living, breathing part of the sales cycle, without Tony needing to review every opportunity manually.

Results for Tony’s B2B Clients

While Tony often works with early-stage companies, the benefits of using Pod to operationalize the D.E.A.L. framework extend to B2B teams of all sizes, from lean founder-led teams to scaling enterprise orgs with layered management.

Here’s how Pod made a measurable impact

1. Improved Sales Coaching

By mapping every deal against the D.E.A.L. framework, managers and enablement leaders could quickly identify where reps were getting stuck, whether it was stakeholder alignment, lack of a clear timeline, or weak problem-solution fit. Coaching shifted from generic advice to focused development tied to real pipeline activity.

2. Faster Ramp for New Reps

New hires didn’t need to rely on tribal knowledge or outdated playbooks. With D.E.A.L. baked into each deal via Pod, they got a live guide through the sales process, accelerating onboarding and helping them contribute to the pipeline earlier.

3. Increased Deal Visibility for First-Line Managers

Frontline managers gained a clear, objective view of every opportunity. Rather than relying on rep updates or scattered notes, they could instantly inspect which parts of the sales process were incomplete or missing, allowing them to prioritize coaching and deal intervention more effectively.

4. More Accurate Sales Forecasting

Pod enabled Tony’s clients to move beyond stage-based forecasting and instead qualify deals based on actual execution. Opportunities missing key elements, like stakeholder alignment or confirmed next steps, were flagged early. This made forecasts more reliable and helped revenue leaders avoid losing deals late in the quarter.

Ultimately, Pod helped Tony’s clients execute with consistency, coach with clarity, and forecast with confidence, all while keeping deals moving through the funnel with greater velocity and less guesswork.

"Pod turned my D.E.A.L. framework from a training slide deck into a living part of the sales cycle. It's easier for me to understand where every deal stands, but it also helps reps to think about deals more strategically."

How Pod’s AI Agents Scale Tony’s Consulting Business

Standardized Execution

Tony could bring the same sales methodology to every client, regardless of CRM setup or headcount. D.E.A.L. became the backbone of each team’s B2B sales process, enforced and operationalized via Pod.

Instant Deal Visibility

Instead of asking “what’s going on in this deal?” Tony could instantly inspect it. No more waiting for reps to update the CRM or recall fuzzy details. Pod turned every deal into an audit-ready story.

High-Leverage Consulting

Pod lets Tony focus on strategy and enablement, not digging through data. It amplifies his impact without increasing his workload. It allows him to continue supporting customers after he has transitioned out of an active role in their organization.

"Pod allows me to keep supporting clients even when I am not in the room or on a call with them. The framework stays embedded in their workflows, creating lasting change instead of fading once the training is over."

Final Thoughts

Tony Wiedenski built the D.E.A.L. framework to bring structure and discipline to early-stage B2B sales teams.
