Sales Leaders
Sales spans the spectrum. So do we.

In today’s market, the sales function takes different forms across industries and business environments. In some companies, the sales organization is centered around commercial excellence and bringing products into consumer’s hands through different channels and go-to-market strategies. In others, the sales team is focused on customer success. Regardless of its place in the organization, successful sales requires highly sophisticated data and analytics capabilities, the ability to develop best-in-class teams, working with the latest technological tools, operational rigor, and strong internal and external relationship-building skills.

Chief revenue officers and chief finance officers: Optimize their relationship for organizational success

“The relationship between the chief revenue officer and CFO has never been more important. Interviews with six sales and finance executives highlight how to make the most of it.”

Sales leaders have to become revenue thinkers, with a deeper relationship between the revenue and finance offices. Now, every revenue officer has to think about gross margin and use cases. Neither the CRO nor CFO can do all this alone.”
