Adding ESP Objectives
The Objectives view helps the sales professional to develop an initial plan for the account. Sales professionals can create specific types of objectives (for example, Business Development, Revenue, and Cross-Account) for each unit or resource to improve strategic planning and account team coordination. The defined objectives link to an Action Plan form that sales professionals can use to develop action plans to achieve each objective they set.
