Why do Sales Leaders invest in Back on Track! for their teams?

Back on Track! ensures the answer to this is “yes!”

 

Sales leaders at all levels recognize the value that such a written plan provides. Sales managers use the plan as the centerpiece of mutual understanding, collaboration, and agreement on expectations, goals, objectives, strategies, tactics, KPIs, timelines, and required resources.

 

The written plan created in Back on Track! is the foundation of communication and ongoing coaching between the sales leader and the underperforming sales professional.
