Episode notes
Co-Create Sales Targets
- Involve salespeople in setting their own targets so they own commitments rather than just comply with quotas.
- Negotiate and adjust numbers with the salesperson when needed to ensure realism and accountability.
Set Monthly Sales Milestones
- Break annual sales goals into monthly targets using historical patterns rather than dividing evenly by 12.
- Use monthly goals as leading indicators for revenue and to create timely accountability.
Split Goals By Sales Type
- Segment sales goals by type (maintenance, enhancements, new sales) to apply different strategies and resourcing.
- Align product-line goals with production schedules so work and revenue planning match.
