The start of the fiscal year brings a new revenue strategy, updated quotas, and ambitious growth goals. But after SKO momentum settles, revenue leaders are often left with limited visibility into whether their well-planned strategy is being activated by frontline teams. By the time pipeline or forecast numbers surface a problem, it can be too late to correct course.

This is a practical guide for sales, enablement, and RevOps leaders who want to identify execution risk early and create revenue predictability throughout the year. Instead of focusing on lagging outcomes, this guide shows you where gaps first appear and how to detect misalignment before it shows up in the data.

In it, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify early warning signs that strategy isn’t being consistently activated

• Understand why coaching inconsistency is the first signal of execution drift

• Diagnose where execution breaks down across leadership, enablement, RevOps, and frontline managers

• Evaluate whether new programs, plays, and priorities are landing with reps

• Spot risk early enough to intervene with confidence and clarity

Whether you’re accountable for revenue, enablement impact, or operational visibility, this guide presents a shared framework for diagnosing execution breakdowns and aligning teams around the behaviors that drive predictable performance.
