Show Notes

In this episode, Andy showcases an incredible discussion with sales leaders Mark Hunter, sales speaker, trainer and consultant, Todd Busler, CEO at Champify, and Tom Williams, Head of Revenue Strategies at Clari. The panel discusses whether sales quotas are still relevant or useful, and explore other ways to measure and reward overall productivity. They explore the psychological impact of quotas, the importance of having measurable targets, and other productivity-based assessments. They get into some insights from Charles Goodhart’s law, how focusing solely on targets can limit true potential, and also touch on ways to accurately calculate sales productivity and the benefits of a more nuanced approach to evaluating sales performance.
