I started coaching him when he was old enough to hold a wiffle bat.

There is nothing more important for a salesperson than sales effectiveness. If you want to measure your sales effectiveness, look at your win rate. The higher your win rate, the more effective you are. The lower your win rate, the less effective you are. Another way to measure your sales effectiveness is by looking at the effect you have on buyers and decision-makers in the sales conversation.
