I immediately assessed skills, pipeline, willingness to be coached, learning styles of each rep and developed a plan for success. We rolled out Gong for coaching and certified each sales team member in SPICED discovery process as well as demoing the product.
Team missed the first Q in 2023 at 68% but following over achieved each quarter ending over the $3.2M quota for the year. This was achieved by targeting coaching, increasing ARR, decreasing discounting, shortening the time to close and adding real deals by the SDR team as well as the AE being responsible for 30% of pipeline development. We also developed a "one team one dream" mentality celebrating wins and understanding losses as a team.

Without a Head of CS I hired and built out the CS process until we were able to find a CS manager.
At one point over 20 UK Peakon team members reported into me while we also managed to 10X the sales from year 1 into year 2. This success eventually led to the successful sale of Peakon to Workday for $700m+
After determining that we could indeed play in the enterprise space I hired and managed a global enterprise team working with such customers as Ikea, Vanguard and Apple.
Our enterprise growth led another round of funding and ultimately led to unicorn status.
I developed a speciality coaching process for the enterprise sales team serving large integrated health systems, academic medical centers and Children's Hospitals. With this process we were able to increase sales value by 25%.
By expanding the value of contracts as well as shortening the sales time to close we were able to over perform YOY leading to a successful IPO (PG has since gone back to private)
