#45 Revenue Ready, Capital Ready with Josh Shaner

Send us Fan Mail Your business can show strong revenue on paper and still be bleeding opportunity at every step of the customer journey. We sit down with Josh Shaner, Revenue Operations Director at Braive, to get brutally practical about what “Revenue Ready Equals Capital Ready” actually looks like when you’re preparing for a loan, equity funding, or growth capital. We walk through the most common revenue leaks Josh sees across industries, starting at the digital front door: slow mobile site speed, high-friction forms, missed calls, and the silent killer of cash flow, slow follow-up. You’ll hear why speed to lead changes your close rate and your forecast, and how a consistent process creates the kind of predictable revenue story that underwriters and lenders want to believe. Then we dig into the hidden asset most owners ignore: the CRM. Old leads, past customers, and stale quotes can become the cheapest revenue you’ll ever generate, if you reactivate them with the right outreach and automation. We also cover the “key person discount,” what happens when your sales knowledge and decisions live in one person’s head, and how SOPs, system design, and smart automation make the business fundable, scalable, and less risky to buyers. If you’re aiming to apply for funding within the next year, you’ll leave with clear next steps you can start in the next 90 days, plus a longer-term timeline to truly prove the system works.
