What is the primary purpose of a sales enablement 'activity metric' such as number of coaching sessions held?
Answer: To track program execution and ensure planned activities are occurring
Activity metrics confirm that planned program components are being executed, serving as process measures rather than outcome measures.

When building a measurement framework, what is the correct sequence for defining metrics?
Answer: Define business goals, identify desired outcomes, select metrics that track those outcomes, then gather data
Effective measurement starts with business goals and works backward to metrics, ensuring every data point connects to a meaningful outcome.
A sales enablement team uses a 'sales health score' dashboard combining multiple metrics. What is the main advantage of this composite approach?
Answer: It provides a holistic view of performance that no single metric can capture
A composite health score aggregates multiple dimensions of performance, offering a more complete picture than any individual metric alone.
