Keynote – Creating a More Productive Sales Pipeline
In the Olympic relay, each athlete focuses on his or her segment and a flawless hand-off to the next team member. While only one of those teammates will "bring it home," everyone shares in the win. Creating a winning sales pipeline has many of the same attributes. Levitt will outline the key steps for creating a high-performance sales pipeline and how management can enhance it with a measurement framework. With this framework, every participant in marketing, administration, and sales will understand both his or her role on the team and the effective hand-offs necessary for winning.
