Sales Problems Are Usually Strategy Problems

Revenue is growing, but inconsistently.
Deals are dragging.
Win rates are dipping.
Your reps feel… off.

Before you blame the team, check the foundation.

Most sales issues are upstream issues.
​

1. Misaligned positioning breaks deals
​​
​If the pitch doesn’t resonate, it’s not the rep’s fault.

→ Are you targeting the right problem, for the right person, at the right urgency?

Fix that first.
​

2. Offers that aren’t tailored don’t close​
​
​A single offer structure might have worked early on.
But scale requires segmentation.

→ Do enterprise buyers want the same thing as mid-market?
→ Are you solving the same pain in every vertical?

Sales acceleration starts with offer precision.
​

3. Sales training without message training fails
​​
​Your reps aren’t just selling a product.
They’re selling a belief about what matters now.

→ Can every AE clearly explain the problem you solve and why it matters today?

If not, your training is incomplete.
​

4. Revenue leaks happen in handoffs​
​
​Great sales momentum dies when onboarding is clunky.

→ Is your sales-to-CS transition reinforcing your positioning or resetting expectations?

Fix the bridge. Protect the trust.

Ask yourself:​
​If every deal you lost last quarter had one thing in common, what was it?
