The document discusses 4 key metrics that CFOs of high tech companies need to measure to drive scalable growth:
1. Monthly sales forecasting accuracy should be at least 75% to accurately plan operations.
2. Sales quotas should be mathematically calculated based on territory potential and average sales rather than guesses.
3. The net new sales growth ratio measures a company's ability to gain new customers and retain existing ones.
4. Measuring and reducing average sales cycle time can increase cash flow and revenue by turning inventory faster.
The 6 Marketing Metrics Your Boss Actually Cares AboutClearPivot
Clickthrough rates. Bounce rate. Time on site. "Viral coefficient." But when it comes to the marketing metrics that executives care about, the marketing department panics. But it doesn't need to.
In a way, executives are easy to please: they want to see the numbers that impact the bottom line. They want to know that the marketing program they approved is garnering solid returns for the company. They want to know how it's growing sales and how cost-effectively it is doing so. And when it comes to how many times someone "shared a post on Facebook," it's likely that the executives don't care, unless it somehow directly impacted sales. In fact, sharing these soft metrics may reinforce their collective belief that 73 percent of marketers are not focused enough on results.
But there's good news: marketing results can now be tracked and measured in a financially qualifiable way.

Carl Larson Sales Best Practices - Sales KPI and Metrics Management
As a sales leadership subject matter expert with deep, hands-on sales team management experience at small, medium and large high technology product and professional service organizations, I am responsible for exceeding annual corporate revenue objectives by growing year-over-year sales and profitability. To support sales revenue achievement, I am responsible for developing new business customers, growing existing customer revenues and introducing new product offerings to penetrate new markets. To profitably grow businesses, I am accountable for optimizing the cost of sales by segmenting the marketplace, hiring and developing the right sales personnel and skill sets and establishing consistent sales process that reduces the time to value for my customers and my company. These processes include effective sales prospecting, business-value qualification or disqualification, executive relationship building, proof of value, win-win contract negotiation and closing performance. I have experience building businesses that grew new business software license sales, built SaaS annual recurring revenues and achieved professional services success.

How to Build a Killer Strategic Account Plan Avention
The Strategic Account Plan is a tool that helps salespeople be better positioned to take on new accounts and forge stronger relationships with existing ones. The plan contains critical information about the prospect that every sales rep should know before even thinking about making the initial phone call. Putting the information down in a concise, structured way helps the salesperson to focus on what is important about the account and how it aligns with your company’s offering. Having a plan can be that one step further, the edge over the competitor, the crucial piece of data that can close the deal. Simply put, the Strategic Account Plan is the blueprint of the sale.
The Strategic Account Plan should be almost a mini encyclopedia of the company. It should allow the salesperson to know the account inside and out. The plan must have all the important information about the company and its financials, competitors, technology, goals, and objectives. It must provide insights about recent development and drivers in the account and the industry. It is imperative that the plan contains extensive and accurate contact information. Moreover, the contacts ought to be structured in the proper hierarchical way so that the sales rep knows how to navigate through the list.

Sustainable growth and long-term success can be achieved when growth methods are combined with scaling endeavours.
