Sales Leadership – So goes sales leadership, so goes the salesforce.
Sales Talent – Do you have the right people in the right seats? How do you know? Who can be developed even more?

Sales Model – Be brutally honest and do a deep dive into your sales model. Is it the right model for your company/culture?
