Re: What are your biggest sales and marketing challenges?

Balancing between too much business and getting more sales. It seems that sometimes when we're really busy we let our active prospecting/sales slip because we're concerned our service will slip. These cause more dramatic peaks and valleys.

One of the biggest challenges that we have is creating the right renumeration model that is generous, fair and understandable.

Re: What are your biggest sales and marketing challenges?

I would add to my earlier point also finding sales people that have drive and are motivated to succeed
