In the fast-paced world of B2B sales, 2024 has been a tough year for many CEOs. They’re facing a mix of old and new challenges that are getting harder to handle. At hTWORG, we've teamed up with leaders across different industries and noticed a pattern of issues that could mess up sales operations. Our goal? To not only point out these problems but to solve them.
COMMON CHALLENGES CEOS FACE IN 2024
INACCURATE FORECASTS: Many executives are frustrated with the constant failure of their sales forecasts. The main issue is a lack of clarity and outdated methods that don't adapt to changing market conditions.
DISTRUST IN SALES LEADERSHIP: CEOs often feel they can’t trust their sales directors and have trouble understanding what’s happening in sales operations. This usually happens because of a gap between what executives expect and what the sales team delivers.
FEELING ISOLATED AT THE TOP: Many CEOs feel isolated and fear failure. This loneliness often comes from not having enough support within the company and not delegating responsibilities effectively, leaving CEOs to handle everything on their own.
THE SKILL GAP: There's a significant concern about whether sales teams have the right skills. This skill gap is a major roadblock to performance and execution.
