Who does the work

Rick does the work himself.

Rick takes responsibility for the growth effort inside the business. The CEO gets a leader accountable for execution. The sponsor gets a clear view of progress against the plan, without taking on day-to-day sales management.

The aim is a stronger commercial result and a sales system the team can keep improving, rather than another list of problems everyone already knows.
