The Gist: Sales is made up of two parts: Opportunity Creation and Opportunity Capture. The more you focus on these major outcomes, the better your results. Your goals and measurements should be based on these two outcomes. The idea of the OKR (Objective and Key Results) comes from Andy Grove, the CEO of Intel in the early seventies. Grove had an admirable penchant to treat his sales force as the best source for figuring what was going on with Intel’s clients.

For sales representatives, there’s nothing more attractive than closing calls. These are calls where the deal gets moved across the line, contracts get signed and reps earn their commissions. Unfortunately, closing calls depend on who you’re selling to and could take you tens of hours. This is where discovery calls come to the rescue. Round one of almost all sales pits you against a prospect in the ring by way of discovery call.

In sales the go to is often sports, and one can understand why. The stats, competitiveness, playbooks, execution, individual contribution to the team effort, and more. No issue with that, but I prefer to use investment and the financial markets, primarily because of the focus on value.
