The director was the only one closing consistently — a total bottleneck

Key insight
This case proves that the problem isn't always generating more leads — sometimes it's building the system so the existing team can close. Sales call coaching during the first 3 months was crucial: we didn't just configure tools, we taught the team to sell with a process. The variable compensation model aligned incentives: our success depends on theirs. When the director stopped being the bottleneck, the company went from linear to exponential growth.
