Were sales in 2010 what you expected or what you wanted?
How many sales people hit their quota?
Have you done any sales planning with your sales team for 2011? If not, expect similar results from 2010. Without sales planning, you are basically hoping that the sales people know enough to get your company enough sales - and the right sales - to make it through 2011.
Think about that. You built your company. You won't outsource anything. You built it all yourself. But when it comes to sales, you expect some hired gun to know what products to sell and to who and what the value proposition is and which products are higher margin???
