Summary
Episode 85 features a unique conversation between Mike and his friend, Greg Stanley, who specializes in helping small and medium-sized companies unlock growth potential by optimizing their revenue function and increasing valuation. Greg founded Accelerant Consultants after a long, successful stint at one of the Big 4 firms. This dialogue touches on foundational sales management topics including getting the right people in the right jobs, ensuring that the sales deployment model aligns with the corporate strategy, and that the compensation plan supports (instead of hinders) the c-suite's strategic objectives. Greg also shares how private equity firms are moving downstream and adding much smaller businesses to their portfolios is changing the competitive landscape and forcing small company leaders to become more sophisticated sales managers. And finally, he makes the strong pitch that management should be taking a hard look at a salesperson's "revenue contribution" rather than simply looking at "revenue attribution."
