Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company stage to yours, since standing up commercial operations for a first launch differs from running the function for an established portfolio. Also decide whether your question is mostly about sales operations, incentive compensation, data and systems or analytics, and ask which of these the person has owned directly.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What commercial operations capabilities need to be in place before a first product launch, and which can wait?
- 02How do you design incentive compensation and territory alignment so the field force focuses on the right customers?
- 03Which parts of commercial operations do you keep in-house, and which do you hand to outside vendors?
