Design quarterly OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) for a product team. Structure: 1. Company-level objectives (3-5 ambitious goals). 2. Team-level objectives aligned to company goals. 3. Key Results for each objective (2-4 measurable outcomes). 4. Confidence scores and ownership assignments. 5. Weekly check-in template for progress tracking. Follow best practices: objectives are qualitative and inspiring, key results are quantitative and time-bound. Include grading rubric (0-1.0 scale).

Implement performance reviews. Framework: 1. Goal setting (beginning of period). 2. Regular 1-on-1s (weekly/bi-weekly). 3. Mid-year check-in. 4. Annual review (achievements, areas for growth). 5. 360-degree feedback. 6. Self-assessment component. 7. Development plan. 8. Compensation decisions separate. Focus on growth not punishment. Document throughout year. Make it dialogue not monologue.

Build winning sales team culture through consistent rituals. Monday kickoff (30 mins): 1. Review week's goals. 2. Celebrate last week's wins (ring gong for closed deals). 3. Share one learning from lost deal. 4. Set individual commitments. Wednesday pipeline review (45 mins): 1. Forecast updates. 2. Top 3 deals per rep (progression, risks, needs). 3. Team problem-solving on stuck deals. Friday wins recap (30 mins): 1. Closed deals (ACV, customer name, rep). 2. Rep of the week (most meetings, best discovery call). 3. Learning share (technique that worked). 4. Weekend kudos. Monthly: team lunch, skills workshop (objection handling, demo techniques), top performer presents. Quarterly: offsite strategy session, awards (top revenue, best teamwork, most improved). Cultural elements: transparency (public metrics), collaboration (help each other), celebrate effort not just results. Manager sets tone: vulnerability, enthusiasm, accountability.

Implement OKRs effectively. Structure: 1. Objective (what you want to achieve - qualitative). 2. Key Results (how you measure - quantitative, 3-5 per objective). 3. Quarterly cadence. 4. Company, team, and individual OKRs. 5. Ambitious yet achievable (70% completion is good). 6. Regular check-ins. 7. Public visibility. 8. Separate from performance reviews. Focus on outcomes not outputs. Align across organization.

Support underperforming reps with structured plan. Trigger PIP when: consecutive quarters below 70% quota, activity metrics low, skill gaps evident. PIP structure (30-60 days): 1. Clear expectations: '[Reach 80% quota next month. Book 15 meetings weekly. Demo 8 accounts.]' 2. Success metrics: specific, measurable, time-bound. 3. Support provided: daily check-ins, call shadowing, shared templates, dedicated training. 4. Timeline: weekly milestones, final review date. Documentation: initial meeting notes, weekly progress tracking, final outcome. Manager responsibilities: meet daily first week, thrice weekly after. Listen to calls together, provide real-time coaching. Identify root cause: activity problem (increase outreach), skill problem (training), fit problem (wrong role). Fair warning: clarify consequences of not meeting goals. Success rate: 30-40% turn around. If unsuccessful: respectful exit, reference based on strengths, alumni network.
