Observable symptoms

Problems this theme addresses

These symptoms can be checked in current work, customer behaviour, sales records or team handoffs.

01

Requests arrive without a shared priority

Campaign and content requests compete for the same budget while the commercial decision remains unclear.

02

Budgets are set before the market problem

Channel allocation starts before the buyer group, offer and expected sales action have been defined.

03

Sales priorities do not change the plan

Account targets and objections are discussed, but they do not reach campaign briefs or the production schedule.

04

Plans omit ownership and review dates

The document lists activity without naming who delivers it or what evidence will determine the next decision.
