Qualitative measures of success are important as well. Your manager will likely be focusing on how your understanding of the company’s buyer personas, ability to correctly qualify and disqualify prospects, willingness to learn new strategies and techniques, time management skills, resourcefulness, and product expertise, among other things.

We were ecstatic!

When I received a frantic phone call from one of the executives, I had to drop everything to get a change processed.

This entails data validation, detecting outliers, treating missing values, etc. With those steps completed, I would begin modeling the data until I discover the most significant or valuable results. Lastly, I would implement the model and track my results. As I'm sure you are aware, this process could vary slightly based upon the type of problem and the data and tools available.

It’ll also tell you which activities will be most important to your success in the role. Will you be spending the majority of your day dialing? Using social media to prospect? Giving demos?
