You cannot enforce accountability among your staff without reviewing the outcomes each member of your team self-reports. Even though you have a CRM that reports each member’s activity and outcomes, you are better off with each person directly reporting how they did in the last week. Your meetings should boost accountability, while also helping salespeople see what is possible and what it takes.

In a world of endless competition, incredibly savvy competitors, AI, and zero-click SERPs, you simply can’t afford not to scale both quality and quantity at the same exact time.
