Measure SKO Impact with Pre‑Post Alignment Assessment
Planning your Sales Kickoff? Here’s a quick way to measure its actual impact: take a baseline assessment now, then again 30-60 days after your event. Take the Sales and Marketing Alignment Assessment: https://lnkd.in/eBydtVJG This 10-minute diagnostic will show you where your alignment gaps are today and give you a clear before-and-after comparison to prove your SKO’s effectiveness. Then, run it again 30-60 days after your SKO. The before-and-after comparison will show you exactly where your event moved the needle and where additional focus may be needed. The assesment will expose your gaps (or strengths) in: - Communication - Alignment - Systems - Honesty Still finalizing your SKO agenda? I have a few speaking dates still available if you’re looking for someone who can deliver actionable strategies on sales and marketing alignment that your teams can implement immediately.

Prioritize Right‑Fit Customers Over Cheap Leads
