Most sales reps screw up discovery calls — they talk too much, ask weak questions, and skip setting next steps. Then they wonder why their pipeline’s full of garbage and they’re not closing.

In this video, I’m breaking down the exact 4-step process I use — and train entire sales teams on — to run effective discovery calls that lead to real opportunities.

Here’s what I cover:

Why I follow the 80/20 Rule (they talk 80%, I talk 20%)

How I qualify leads without turning it into an interrogation

The exact way I ask about decision timelines so I’m never left guessing

How I set expectations and follow-up methods before the call ends

If your deals are stalling or you're getting ghosted, this process will fix it. Stop winging it — this is the real playbook.

If you got value out of it, share it with your sales team or that one rep who always “thinks the call went great.”

How to Run Better Sales Discovery Calls

Kyle Milan July 10, 2025 8:15 am

Most people are doing cold outreach wrong in 2025.

In this video, I break down the three key things that are actually working right now—and how you need to shift your mindset if you want more deals. Whether you're doing email, LinkedIn, cold calls, or text, it’s not about the channel—it’s about what gets results.

Here’s what I cover:

Why being platform-agnostic matters more than ever

How to build a hook that gets responses (no fluff, real value)

The role of organization and CRM in tracking what actually works

I’ve worked with hundreds of industrial and B2B companies over the last decade. These are the tactics we use for clients right now to generate leads and drive real pipeline.

If you're serious about growing your sales in 2025, this is what you need to hear.

Cold Outreach That Creates Deals

Kyle Milan June 26, 2025 9:30 am

Let’s be honest—most B2B email marketing is garbage. It’s boring, it’s generic, and it gets ignored. If your idea of email marketing is blasting your entire list with product PDFs and calling it a day, this video is for you.

This week, I’m diving deep into what it actually takes to build email campaigns that people want to open. If your current email setup is “send and pray,” I’m going to show you how to fix that. 

You’ll hear exactly how we build campaigns for clients that drive engagement and real ROI. I’ll show you what’s working right now, why segmentation matters more than you think, and how to align your email strategy with your sales team so you’re not just “marketing”—you’re actually making money.

If you’re tired of wasting time on email marketing that doesn’t move the needle, you don’t want to miss this one.

Email Marketing That Doesn't Suck

Kyle Milan June 19, 2025 8:45 am

In this week’s live session, I’m breaking down the biggest marketing headlines that came out of May 2025 and what they actually mean for industrial companies and B2B marketers.

First up, Salesforce just dropped $8 billion to acquire Informatica. I’ll walk you through why that matters, how it’s going to supercharge their AI capabilities, and what it means if you’re using—or competing against—Salesforce.

Next, I dig into Google’s latest move: they’re rolling out ads directly into AI search overviews. If you’re wondering how to show up in AI summaries, what this means for SEO and paid search, and where the ad money is going next, I break it all down. I’ve been saying it for a while—this shift is going to redefine digital marketing strategy across the board.

And lastly, we talk about Mountain’s IPO, which just brought connected TV advertising front and center. They popped off with a $1.6 billion valuation on day one. That’s huge for small and mid-market advertisers looking to get into streaming platforms like Hulu. This isn’t just a play for big brands anymore—this is where smart companies are heading next.

I also touch on geofencing, real-world attribution problems in B2B, and how brands like yours can actually start competing in this new landscape without throwing away your budget.

This is the stuff that matters right now if you want to win. If you’re not subscribed, hit the button, turn on notifications, and follow along. We go live every Tuesday at noon Central, no scripts, just real marketing and sales strategy.

Let’s get into it.

May Monthly Marketing News

Kyle Milan June 12, 2025 8:45 am

In this video, I’m walking you through how to run a real marketing audit—one that’s focused on revenue, not vanity metrics. If you’re in industrial or B2B and trying to figure out why your marketing isn’t translating into closed deals, this is where you start. I break down the five key areas you need to evaluate if you want to scale your marketing efforts and actually see ROI.

We start by making sure all your data sources are connected. It doesn’t matter what tools you use—if you can’t get to the data, you can’t audit anything. Then we dive into the only question that really matters: where did your deals come from? Not leads, not impressions, but closed deals that turned into money. I’ll show you how to find that and what to do with the data.

We also get into how to track lead quality by source, because most companies are getting flooded with leads that never convert. I’ll show you how to pinpoint whether your leads are garbage or if your sales team is dropping the ball. From there, we get into SEO performance compared to your competitors and how to actually use that data to inform strategy. Finally, we talk paid media—not just CTRs and impressions, but how to measure real return on ad spend and shift budget into what’s working.

If you're serious about building a marketing strategy that drives results and supports real growth, this video will give you the framework. No fluff, no BS—just what actually works.

And if you got value out of it, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Subscribe and turn on notifications if you want to keep leveling up your marketing game. And yeah—if you’re not listening to the podcast yet, type in “Your Marketing Sucks.” You’ll get more of the same straight talk there.

Run a Marketing Audit Like a Pro

Kyle Milan June 5, 2025 9:01 am

If your marketing isn’t working, it’s probably not because you suck—it’s because you’re making common, avoidable mistakes. The good news? You’re not alone, and you can fix them.

In this video, we break down the five biggest marketing mistakes that are holding you back from real growth:

Talking to everyone and reaching no one
Trying to appeal to everyone dilutes your message. The best brands speak directly to a specific audience with clarity and confidence.

Ignoring the data
Guesswork is over. Your data holds the answers—if you’re willing to listen. Testing, learning, and adapting are the keys to effective marketing.

Messy branding
Inconsistency in tone, visuals, and messaging causes confusion. And confused customers don’t buy. Strong brands are clear, consistent, and memorable.

Selling instead of helping
Nobody likes being sold to, but everyone loves having their problems solved. Shift from pitching to serving.

Being boring
Boring doesn’t get remembered or shared. If you’re not sparking emotion, your brand is invisible.

Watch to learn how to avoid these traps and finally get your marketing to land. When you fix these five things, you stop guessing—and start growing.

5 Marketing Mistakes Killing Your Growth (and How to Fix Them)

Kyle Milan May 29, 2025 9:15 am

If you’re trying to get paid to speak, or want high-level people to bring you in as the expert in the room, this video is for you. I’m walking you through exactly how I went from being a quiet, introverted kid to landing speaking gigs in front of hundreds of people—and getting paid for it.

I didn’t start out confident. I didn’t have connections. What I did have was a subject I knew well, the discipline to keep showing up, and the willingness to start small and build proof.

In this video, I cover:

-Why knowing your subject inside and out is everything

If you’re trying to get paid to speak, or want high-level people to bring you in as the expert in the room, this video is for you. I’m walking you through exactly how I went from being a quiet, introverted kid to landing speaking gigs in front of hundreds of people—and getting paid for it.

I didn’t start out confident. I didn’t have connections. What I did have was a subject I knew well, the discipline to keep showing up, and the willingness to start small and build proof.

In this video, I cover:

-Why knowing your subject inside and out is everything
-How I built confidence through sales, content, and repetition
-The real reason people will (or won’t) hire you to speak
-The $1,500 gamble I made to get 2 minutes on stage—and how it turned into leads
-What to say, how to say it, and why slides usually ruin it
-How to use social proof and video content to get booked
-Why engagement is more important than polish

The Real Way to Get PAID to Speak (What No One Tells You)

Kyle Milan May 22, 2025 10:00 am

For over a decade, MFG Tribe has led industrial marketing with one non-negotiable rule: we never work with competitors in your vertical. That commitment helped us grow—and now it’s helping us expand.

We’re now Milan Media (M2) — a rebrand that reflects our evolution into a multi-industry digital agency. Industrial clients will still get the same exclusive focus under the MFG Tribe brand, but we’re also bringing our marketing firepower to new sectors.

Same founder. Same team. Same no-competition promise for industrials.
Bigger vision. Broader impact. Welcome to M2.

Regards,

Kyle Milan | CEO
