Ongoing uncertainty in our economy may demand a strategic pivot for how you reach revenue goals in your sales organization in the coming year. Like many sales organizations, you may have faced new challenges due to economic shifts this year. As we enter into sales kickoff planning season without a clear picture of what next year will look like, the challenge becomes identifying which priorities are most critical to devote resources to. Your sales kickoff is an opportunity to create the momentum your team needs to tackle whatever happens in the coming year. Take advantage of that opportunity by using this event to align on strategic initiatives, reinforce core methodologies, and lay the groundwork for habits and practices that will drive revenue even through the unexpected. Start making your plan now to reinforce these priorities before, during and after the SKO so you can ensure a high-impact event that helps your team successfully move through a challenging environment and hit revenue targets.
