The Power of a Great Sales Team: Turning Leads into Sales

Jason M. Lemkin (speaker) argues that the quality of a SaaS sales team drastically affects close rates: a great sales team can close roughly 2x what a mediocre team does, and a truly great rep can close about 9–10x what an average rep can. He frames this as a self-fulfilling prophecy in market commentary over the prior 12–18 months and notes that if good leads are present but nothing is closing, the problem may not be the leads.
