You have just received sales and performance reports that are disappointing; demand is well below plan. People both inside and outside of the business are questioning product pricing, quality and costs; marketing support and branding; and the performance of resellers and brokers. Vendors knock on your door, offering changes in business practices that you’re not sure you need. And your boss wants to know: Did we make a mistake entering or expanding our presence in this market, or do we need to fix execution problems? How are you going to answer these questions and improve performance?
