Any idea that’s not backed up by solid data is an educated guess - not a fact.

Attendees will learn how to build consistent, data-driven sales processes, how to prioritize objective data over subjective opinions, and how to consistently integrate data into pipeline reviews and forecasting meetings in order to garner respect and trust as a leader (and to keep your sales people honest).
