- Implement a structured 90-day ramp-up process for new hires, progressing from training to practical tasks like territory familiarization, prospecting, and live calls, to consistently exceed sales plan expectations.
- Clearly articulate and differentiate between commitment (worst-case scenario) and forecast (expected performance) figures when reporting to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and accuracy in sales projections.
