    Translation: we don't control them

    Translation: it will be at least a year before we can judge their productivity

    "They've got some good irons in fire"

    Translation: there lots of smoke, but we have no idea how the sales engagement's are progressing

    Performance improvement is generally pursued at two levels: the event level and the process level.

     

    Event level: sometimes referred to as the “inoculation” approach because of its ad-hoc “on—shot” nature. At best events like these encourage sales to grab one or two ideas or reach for a unique, short-term incentive boost.

     

    Process level: leaders turn their attention from improving sales people to improving process and fixing a process has a much greater impact on output and for longer-term.
