FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if your kickoff actually changed what the team said in client meetings the following week? Imagine a kickoff talk the regional team can repeat, not a slide pile they forget in the lift.

Most kickoffs are designed to be comprehensive. Comprehensive feels fair to every department, so the one thing the sales team must do next is never the headline. It's like handing out a hundred-page guidebook at the start of a race and then firing the starting gun.
