What you cannot see can kill you. If you don't see the car to your right about to run a stop sign, you might be in trouble. If you cannot see a clogged artery, you might be in trouble. If you cannot see that your sales team is failing to execute the fundamentals of an effective sales approach, then surely that will kill your chances for sales effectiveness and consistent sales growth.

Typically, I take controversial positions on GTM, selling, leadership and other business issues. I have cautiously avoided writing about anything that could be construed as “political.” I can no longer stand by silently. It would be irresponsible, I have to speak out. Frankly, I don’t care about the consequences, because speaking out, and encouraging others to do the same (regardless of views) has never been more important.
