A 12% Sales Target hike!
“In 2015, you are going to have to produce

I think till 2014 the sales successes rate will be down.Performance Improvement Plan Template
ReplyDeleteSorry Bose, that may be an economic forecast but not a sales forecast.
DeleteSome skilled Salespeople, well managed, are showing 35% improvement over last year.
Your template is a lovely "paint-by-numbers" they just don´t help in Sales.

Nice talking with you!
