This is my way of paraphrasing a famous statement made by Albert Einstein.  And I think it applies to managers and owners of sales-driven companies. Over the 43 years that I have coached these companies, I’ve observed that many entrepreneurs and owners who are frustrated with the results their sales and marketing efforts are producing. …

Attempting to dramatically change/improve the productivity of your salesforce, without conducting a thorough root cause analysis, is an exercise in hoping that your efforts will produce positive results.  In my experience, too many sales improvement initiatives are launched as a result of a senior executive saying (sometimes in a very loud voice), “Do something about…
