Two reps start the same week with identical territory and comp plans.
Six months later, one is crushing quota, and the other is stuck.

Most VP of Sales roles won't exist in five years.
The job is coaching reps and building processes. Most VPs do neither, so a system replaces them.
Won't happen fast though. The CEO hired the VP to stop thinking about sales. Replacing the role means owning the problem again.
Your most "profitable" account might be your most expensive.
It eats support hours, bends your process, and erodes margin in ways the P&L never captures.
Teams keep it because cutting it feels like losing.
