The number matters, but the operating problem behind the number matters too.

Performance With Purpose

Set the standard above the minimum—and connect it to outcomes.

The 105% philosophy is not about arbitrary pressure. It creates a visible standard of excellence while keeping activity connected to qualified opportunities, proposals, closed-won revenue and customer outcomes.

For SDR/BDR teams, compensation and coaching should reward progress through the revenue system—not meeting volume alone.

Develop the person, not just the number

  • Use 1:1s for career development as well as inspection.
  • Build managers before promoting them.
  • Create paths into AE, Customer Success, Marketing and leadership.
  • Pair coaching with mentorship when someone needs a clean slate.
  • Optimize the system before assuming the individual is the problem.

What the Results Have in Common
