1. Scaling Coaching and Training:
   1.1 It is a time-consuming exercise to provide consistent, efficient coaching and training across a large, remote and growing team across different regions and time zones.
   
   1.2 Delivering relevant training to different roles, from sales to customer support and customer success, is an expensive challenge.
   
   

2. Compliance and Quality Control:
   2.1 Ensuring reps maintain high standards and avoid using poor techniques to handle conversations.
   
   2.2 There's a need to ensure reps are prepared to handle different conversations professionally with different ICPs.
   
   

3. Change of Narrative:
   3.1 Client Conversations are at the heart of business generation and how customers and new clients perceive the value ACME is building for the market. This requires an alignment when the front team is conversing with the market.
   
   3.2 The focus is to ensure the BDR team is proactively delivering on the right language, messaging and problem statements, particularly in handling critical interactions.
   
   3.3 How do we create alignment so that the front-line team can adapt the narrative fast and easily?
   
   

4. Performance Alignment:
   4.1 It is a costly exercise to create and maintain team alignment when it comes to the team’s performance.

   
   4.2 When it comes to customer facing teams, there is an expensive performance gap between the top perfomers and the rest of the pack. If we were to consider every team member as a vector, the below image explains pretty well how mis-aligment hurts a company's performance at large.

Complications:

Without streamlined, company-approved responses to common objections, ACME can face several risks:

1. Compliance Failures:
   Reps lack clear guidelines on “What Good Looks Like,” risking reputational damage and bad market experience.

• Knowledge Loss:

→ 67% of key employees leave within 3 years.
→ Replacing a senior sales rep costs $115K.
→ New hires take 9–12 months to reach full productivity.

• Integration Issues:

→ 78% of companies struggle with sales integration.
→ It takes 18–24 months on average to fully integrate new teams.
→ 55% of deals fail to transfer critical knowledge effectively, impacting revenue retention.

3. Declining Quality:
   Reps reverting to outdated practices can fail to meet company’s quality standards, impacting overall team performance.
