  • Why focusing on the process generates more significant improvements with far less conflict.
  • How to identify leaks by comparing your current sales processes to “exemplar” processes.
  • Four of the most common problems or margin leaks that people find when they really look.
  • Two organizational and inter-personal dynamics you’ll want to watch-out for along the way.
