After you explain the concept of a judicial branch to your CEO, she says, “Great! I’ll have the sales leadership team make that part of their monthly meeting.” How do you respond?

  • “In the interest of being unbiased, I think it would be better to have the judicial branch made up of people who are outside of the sales and marketing organization.”
  • “Perfect! We want to make sure the sales team is as involved as possible, and having sales leadership reviewing dropped leads is a great way to start.”
  • “I think that’s the right group of leaders, but monthly meetings won’t be frequent enough to do the job. Can we have them meet every two weeks instead?”
  • “The sales leadership shouldn’t be involved. It would be better to have the marketing leadership do this job.”
