    How we address Chief Sales Officers’ challenges

    The Executive Partners (EPs) with Gartner for Chief Sales Officers are a group of highly experienced, former chief sales officers dedicated to enabling revenue leaders like you with cutting-edge research, critical sales leadership insights, peripheral vision and practical tools.

    Disruptive technologies, changing customer dynamics, and shifting economic conditions mean CSOs must rethink their functional priorities and investments. Benchmark your top priorities against your peers and develop a sales strategy that engages the C-suite and the broader sales force.
