DECEMBER 1, 2019

As sales teams mount their final push to finish 2019 strong, someone in a sales enablement, marketing or sales support role is planning what has become status quo in sales. The annual sales kick off (SKO) meeting. As the term implies, a sales kick-off meeting is meant to be a sales reset.

For the managers that have made it this far, realize CRM and the related tools are not about you. They are about helping your sales people be more productive, impactful, and effective.
