The steps

  1. 01

    Audit where manager hours actually go

    Tool: Manual

    Two weeks of time tracking across frontline managers. Most will find over a third of the week is assembling information that already exists somewhere. Owner: sales leadership. DoD: baseline hour split published.

  2. 02

    Assemble one evidence pack per week

    Tool: Gong

    One pack per manager covering deal movement, risk flags, coaching clips, and forecast deltas. One pack, one time, used in every meeting that week. Pitfall: separate reports per meeting, which recreates the assembly work. DoD: the same pack drives pipeline review, one to ones, and forecast call.

  3. 03

    Rewrite the manager calendar

    Tool: Manual

    Remove the meetings that existed only to gather status. Replace with coaching blocks tied to the pack. If the calendar does not change, nothing was rebuilt. Owner: sales leadership. DoD: new standard manager week published.

  4. 04

    Measure judgement output

    Tool: Salesforce

    Track coaching hours, deal interventions, and forecast accuracy rather than report completion. The point of the rebuild is more judgement per week. Owner: RevOps. DoD: monthly report of the three judgement metrics.
