In this episode of the Partnership Mastermind podcast, I sit down with Marco De Paulis, Senior Director of Partnerships at Loop Returns, someone I’ve respected for years as the “Pipeline King.” Marco is the definition of anti-fluff, and in this conversation, we strip away the vanity metrics to talk about what actually drives revenue and retention. We dive deep into the specific mechanics of Partner Influence, a topic that often gets fuzzy in our industry. Marco opens up his playbook to share his three-part influence framework, Endorsement, Active, and Verbal, and explains exactly how he gets Sales, RevOps, and Finance to trust the data by demanding “receipts” and proof. We also unpack the hard lessons he learned about scaling too fast, his “Sandwich Approach” to winning internal buy-in from both AEs and Executives, and why he believes that deep human connection is the one thing we should never automate.
Whether you are an aspiring leader or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with the practical, honest advice you need to elevate your game.
