There are many straightforward strategies market managers employ today to become more competitive for tomorrow. They acquire more sales people, capture more referral sources and build more alliances. Or, they just expand into new markets and develop different products, technologies, or processes. Unfortunately, this “more, better, faster” approach may not always propel organizations to the next level. Perhaps what’s needed is something different and something new in terms of strategy.

No matter what new strategies they pursue or more aggressive objectives they set, sooner or later, there are two fundamental questions market leaders must be able to answer two fundamental sales questions:

1. How will you create more leverage in the marketplace with your consumers, clients,
   partners, sources, and suppliers?
2. How will you accelerate your sales productivity?
