“Ignore the Man Behind the Curtain!”

It’s one of the most iconic lines from The Wizard of Oz — and a perfect metaphor for what happens when you pull back the curtain on many so-called “sales processes.”

From the Outside, It Looks Like a Process

From the outside, everything appears in order:

• Stages in the CRM

• Pipeline metrics

• A kickoff presentation with sales tips and motivational quotes

It looks structured. It looks organized.

But step behind the curtain… and the illusion fades fast.

Behind the Curtain

Behind the dashboards and spreadsheets, there’s often:

• No defined winning steps

• No clarity on how to progress a deal

• No real guidance for reps on what great execution looks like

What you actually have isn’t a sales process — it’s a reporting framework.

The difference matters:

• A reporting framework tells you what happened.

• A sales process tells you what to do next.

What a Real Sales Process Does

A real sales process is operational. It’s designed for execution, not just measurement.

It answers:

• What do reps need to do at each stage?

• How do we know a deal is ready to move forward?

• What content, talk tracks, and tools support action at every point?

When you codify that, everything changes.

It becomes:

• Teachable — new reps ramp faster because success is documented.

• Repeatable — every deal follows a proven path to progress.

• Predictable — leaders get fewer surprises and more accurate forecasts.

Codification Is the Key to Consistency

High-performing sales teams don’t rely on tribal knowledge.
They capture their winning habits, codify them, and turn them into playbooks that scale.

That’s how top organizations transform their sales process from a static slide deck into a living performance system.

At Kaddi, that’s exactly what we help teams do — document, operationalize, and activate their best-practice sales process so every rep knows what great execution looks like.

When the curtain comes down, nothing is left to chance.

Time to Pull Back the Curtain?

If you’ve ever wondered why deals stall, forecasts slip, or coaching feels reactive — start by looking behind the curtain.

Because every sales team that aspires to high performance needs a clearly defined, codified process for winning.

Once that’s in place, the magic isn’t illusion — it’s execution.
