“Sales executives that work closely with CFOs have a strategic advantage in the sales process,” said Scott Devens, board chairman and president of NETSEA. “This panel will focus on the opportunities and the pitfalls facing many CFOs and the importance they play in the creation of and participation in a company’s sales engagement model.  Whether it is working through the revenue recognition rules, yield models, compensation plan structures, etc, the CFO’s “early and continuous” involvement with sales leadership is a must. This interactive panel will provide real-world examples and takeaways that can be applied immediately.”
