Sample 7 of 7

“What would you do in your first 30 days?”

The first 30 days

  1. Read the last 90 days of approvals. Sort by what got escalated and why. That is the real policy.
  2. Sit with three AEs on live deals. Learn what they hear from customers before I tell them what the desk needs.
  3. Meet Legal, Finance, and RevOps once each with one question: “What lands on your desk that shouldn’t?”
  4. Ship one thing by day 30 that removes a step. A playbook entry, an approval rule, a template. Small and visible.
  5. Propose the daily brief. It is already built. The only question is what it should flag here.
