Inside the Box

📦 Inside the Box

Break down large sales projects and goals into actionable next steps

You can’t think outside the box until you know what’s in it! In this sales planning and strategy meeting, the objective is to get back into the box and to narrow a range of possibilities to smaller, actionable steps.

Define and prioritize top projects or goals for the coming year and the associated action items and measurable outcomes that will form the basis of the company’s next annual sales plan.
