What's Inside

Five gaps between your reps and their quota

Most quota misses get blamed on the team. More often it's the operational work surrounding the sale. Here's what the guide breaks down.

1

Your reps aren't selling. They're juggling.

The average rep spends under 35% of the week in real selling conversations. The rest goes to CRM updates, proposals, scheduling, and follow-up.

2

Leads go cold before anyone touches them.

When inbound leads sit 24 hours or more, conversion drops fast. Usually it isn't motivation, it's coverage.

3

Your CRM is a black box.

Outdated records and optimistic forecasts hide what's really happening in the pipeline, so coaching turns reactive and leadership loses trust in the numbers.

4

Follow-up is inconsistent or nonexistent.

Most deals close on the fifth or sixth touch, not the first. When follow-up rides on an overloaded rep, prospects quietly fall through the cracks.

5

Your best closers are tied up in $20 tasks.

Formatting decks, updating records, chasing approvals. Every hour your most expensive talent spends on admin is an hour they aren't closing.
