To evaluate if a new VP of Marketing is working out, focus on lead generation, revenue per lead, sales alignment, and pipeline growth within the first 90 days.
A successful VP of Marketing should drive qualified leads, improve revenue per lead, collaborate with sales, and show pipeline growth.
They should focus on executing campaigns and initiatives rather than excessive team building or brand talk, especially in the early stages of a company.
If there's no progress within 90 days, reassess priorities, execution, and fit to avoid prolonged negative impact on growth.
