Show Notes Chapter Markers

Building a high-performing sales team requires more than just winners and the winning product. It requires the right compensation structure, refined customer groups, and a deep understanding of their needs. But is that enough for sustained growth? What do small to medium-sized businesses miss that struggle to grow? Whose responsibility is to generate leads? Is the sales team accountable for everything, or should marketing share some accountability of missing growth targets?

In today's episode, we have our guest Enrico Parodi, who describes the sales organization's key components. He also discusses different sales organization structures and how their roles vary, including direct, hybrid, and channel-driven. Finally, he had a chance to touch on sales and marketing alignment and why that is important for an organization's sustained growth.
