    Re-evaluating KPIs on a regular basis is a healthy practice for your company. Just because it worked this year, doesn't mean those same motions will work next. For instance, in year's past, you may have been okay working with a Business Head to justify budget. Nowadays, CFO's are scrutinizing expenses more than ever, expecting to see the R in ROI.

    We develop quarterly and annual sales OKRs every year. We've done V2Moms that were due in January by every employee. We've made it a requirement to post them publicly inside our Slack profiles so everyone in the company has visibility into your V2Moms as well.

    Quarterly and annual OKR's on an individual level need to be broken down from the Company/Segment/Team Level.

    Effectively breaking down the quarterly/annual sales goals across all levels within the sales org is the most effective way to get buy in. Be transparent about the role each person will play in helping the team reach the overall goal and emphasize the significance of their contribution and how it impacts the bigger picture.
