Quick Question: Our plan isn’t working. What do we do now?
Here is today's quick question for you...Our plan isn’t working. What do we do now?
Ask it when you're...
Seeing poor response to your sales and marketing motion - You’ve set expectations. And probably thresholds or tolerances, too. The results just aren’t what they need to be. It’s time to stop, evaluate and iterate.
Losing key people - You thought you’d created a culture to retain your best people, but for some reason, they keep leaving. You won't know why unless you ask. (HOT TIP: If your answer is money, ask again!) And you won’t change things if you don’t change.
Hearing NO (or nothing) from potential investors - Something about your pitch isn’t resonating. Getting feedback on why is often tough - but it’s always worth asking. Or at least look inwards to consider what could be going wrong and build a list of possible new approaches to experiment with.
