Back in 2016, Drew Brees' promotion of AdvoCare, short for Advocates Who Care, was all some fans needed to sweeten the deal.

However, his deal with the company ended up leading to some controversy with a few million dollars on the line.

On Oct. 15, 1991, Clarence Thomas secured his seat on the Supreme Court, a narrow victory after a bruising confirmation fight that left him isolated and disillusioned. Listen to This Article For more audio journalism and storytelling, download New York Times Audio , a new iOS app available for news subscribers. Within months, the new justice enjoyed a far-warmer acceptance to a second exclusive club: the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, named for the Gilded Age author whose rags-to-riches novels represented an aspirational version of Justice Thomas's own bootstraps origin story.

To compensate for this shift, many sales leaders demand a higher volume of activity from the sales organization to make up for lower engagement rates — more calls, more emails and more social touches. This can create tension among sellers and marketing partners, not only because bandwidth is limited, but because more touches lead to diminishing returns and potentially annoyed prospects and customers. Successful sales leaders bring sales and marketing functions together to design orchestrated programs that deliver more value to prospective buyers, increase engagement rates and make better use of available resources. Orchestration is a key strategy for solving the sales pipeline challenge. Three proven steps enable successful execution and engagement w...
