Maura: Welcome to our webcast. Today we are going to walk you through Four Breakthrough Ideas to Unleash Your Sales Team.
Maura: One last housekeeping item before we get started. Salesforce.com is a publically traded company so we ’ve got to include our safe harbor statement.
Maura: We are honored to have Maynard Webb here today, Author of “Rebooting Work: Transform How You Work in the Age of Entrepreneurship”. Maynard is currently the Chairman of LiveOps, a board member at Salesforce.com, and the founder of the Webb Investment Network. He has also held executive positions at eBay, Gateway, Bay Networks, Quantum, Thomas-Conrad, and IBM. He has quietly established himself as one of the most trusted names in the Silicon Valley. We also have Nick Stein, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications at Salesforce Work.com. A former staff writer at FORTUNE and current affairs producer at CBC News, Stein's work has received three Business Journalist of the Year awards, a CAJ award, and has been anthologized in the Best Business Stories of the Year.
Maura: With that I ’m going to turn it over to our first speaker, Nick Stein!

Maynard passes presentation back to Nick
Research from the Corporate Executive Board ’s Sales Council, Tony Robbins’ consulting company, Baker Communications, and Harvard Business Review has shown that the best sales managers keep their teams aligned around specific goals, provide real-time feedback when it matters, continuously coach their sales reps through, and award specific sales behaviors with public, meaningful recognition…and that has a very real impact on the business results. When managers engage in those behaviors, they see a 26% increase in pipeline, 70% increase in close rates, and over 160% more wins!
Maura: Thanks a lot, Nick! We ’ve had some great questions flow in on the social stream throughout the presentation.
