Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods are all known for their exceptional talent and success in their respective sports. However, they also have something else in common: they all had coaches who played a significant role in their careers. Some might argue that it was their coaches — Bill Belichick, Phil Jackson, and Earl Woods — who helped turn their natural talent into the greatest athletes of their sports.

I need you to do more with less. If you’ve been told something similar in recent months, you’re not alone.

In 2022, only 26% of sales reps reached 90% or more of their quota. That’s not a very successful win rate, especially when you consider the immense amount of money many sales organizations invest in tools that are meant to improve sales productivity. In fact, 28% of sales organizations use 10 or more sales tools to help reps get the job done. So the question is, what types of sales productivity tools actually drive a return and successfully help sales teams reach their quotas?
