A podcast about growth, people, and real conversations
The H2H Sales Automation Podcast, hosted by Bart Kowalczyk, CEO of AutomateNow, is for growing-business owners, CEOs, and sales leaders who want to move faster without losing the human side of selling.
In each episode, Bart speaks with founders, leaders, and operators about how they combine human-led sales and marketing with smart automation to create momentum that lasts.
Why this matters
-
Growth is still human
Tools change, but trust, listening, and relationships still drive real sales. -
Leaders learn from leaders
Honest stories from peers are more valuable than theory or templates.
-
Automation needs context
Without real-world insight, automation creates noise instead of momentum.
-
Clarity beats hype
Short, practical conversations cut through trends and focus on what works.
Most businesses don’t lack tools. They struggle with alignment, clarity, and trust, especially as they grow.
What you'll hear
- Honest conversations with founders, CEOs, and sales leaders
- Practical stories from growing businesses
- Lessons on human-to-human (H2H) selling at scale
- How automation supports people — not replaces them
