SUMMARY:Board-level sales strategy: What every director should know
DESCRIPTION:Sales is the most expensive part of strategy execution, yet most organisations only deliver 50–60% of the financial performance their strategies and sales forecasts promise (HBR, Cespedes & Wallace).\nWhy? Because too often, boardroom strategy and frontline sales execution are misaligned.\nThis practical session explores how directors can bridge that gap. It’s not about selling – it’s about governance, accountability, and ensuring your sales investment actually delivers strategic intent. You’ll discover how to align systems, behaviours, and leadership to maximise return on your organisation’s most expensive function.\nThis session is particularly valuable if:\n\nYour sales forecasts consistently miss despite having capable people\nYou’re unsure whether sales challenges are a people problem, a process problem, or a strategy problem\nYou suspect your sales investment isn’t delivering the return it should, but you’re not sure where to look\n\nWhy attend:\n\nTo understand the true cost of misalignment between strategy and sales\nTo explore board-level levers that drive performance, not just targets\nTo gain practical insights into measuring, monitoring, and improving sales execution at the strategic level\nTo connect with peers and discuss real-world challenges in your own board context\n\nKey takeaways:\n\nThe four critical breakpoints between strategy and execution and why most boards unknowingly tolerate them\nPipeline or pipedream: why most forecasts are built on hope, not qualification – and the 3 questions that expose the difference\nMeasure what matters: leading indicators that predict performance vs. vanity metrics that camouflage failure\nFrom strategy to system: how to move sales from ‘we think we’ll hit target’ to ‘here’s exactly why we will’ – the governance difference that matters\n\nA practical session that helps directors see sales as a strategic governance issue – not a ‘sales department problem’ – and provides specific frameworks to take back to your board.\n
