Everyone Has a Plan Until…
You Missed the Quarter. The Reps Aren’t Ramping fast Enough. Missing Goals is Bringing Down the Team and Crushing the Culture.
"Everyone Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth", Mike Tyson
Let’s face it - if you’re like the average sales org, almost half (46%!!!) of your reps are on pace to miss quota right now.
And what that means… your number is in jeopardy.
The modern Sales Leader is like a head college football coach - drawing up the plays, wearing the headset on the sidelines, recruiting the players, coaching up their skills - oh and keeping score of the game and their individual performances.
And in addition to all those roles, the challenge of managing predominantly millennials doesn’t make it any easier.

Highlight: “You find out lifes this game of inches… the margin of error is so small… the inches we need are everywhere around us. Every break of the game, every minute, every second.
