The One-Page Sales Plan
OGSMT Tool for Focused Execution. Post #17
Hi,
In a world flooded with dashboards, slide decks, and KPIs, most sales teams don’t suffer from a lack of data, they suffer from a lack of focus.
That’s where OGSMT (Objectives, Goals, Strategies, Measures, and Tactics) comes in. This powerful one-page tool is the strategic weapon of high-performance teams, helping them get aligned fast, execute with clarity, and eliminate the noise.
Whether you’re leading a Fortune 500 sales org or launching your first B2B product, OGSMT brings structure to ambition and turns ideas into action.
This workshop breaks down how to create and use your own OGSMT plan in under 60 minutes. You’ll learn how to center your revenue goals, align your strategies across departments, and define the exact metrics that drive results.
For sellers, it brings clarity to the week. For managers, it unifies execution. For business owners, it becomes the heartbeat of growth. If you want your sales plan to fit on one page and actually drive results, this is the framework you need.

WHY THIS WORKSHOP MATTERS
Teams that plan with clarity execute with confidence. OGSMT is a proven structure used by top-tier organizations to align vision with reality, and turn that reality into repeatable revenue. If you can’t explain your sales plan in one page, it’s probably not working.
DO’S AND DON’TS
WHAT TO DO | WHAT NOT TO DO |
Align goals with real revenue outcomes. | Overcomplicate the framework. |
Keep the plan visible and share it weekly. | Build it once and forget it. |
Tie individual actions to the broader strategy. | Confuse tactics with goals. |
3 WORKSHOP STEPS
Step 1: Draft Your OGSMT Framework
Section | What It Means | Example (Software Co.) |
Objective | Big-picture aim | Become the leading CRM for SMBs |
Goals | Measurable milestones | $5M ARR by Q4, 20% CAC reduction |
Strategies | Broad ways to achieve goals | Expand outbound sales, Launch self-serve flow |
Measures | KPIs to track progress | Weekly pipeline velocity, demo-to-close ratio |
Tactics | Specific action items | 10 cold emails/day/seller, new landing pages |
Step 2: Align Team Roles to the Plan
Role | OGSMT Focus Area | Ownership Action |
Sales Rep | Tactics & Measures | Track 3 core KPIs + daily outreach targets |
Sales Manager | Goals & Strategies | Review pipeline trends, run weekly 1:1s |
Marketing | Strategies & Tactics | Launch paid campaigns to support outreach |
Tips: Assign ownership early. Even small teams need to know who owns what. Clarity leads to action.
Step 3: Review, Refine, Repeat
Review Cadence | What to Review | Goal of the Review |
Weekly | Measures + Tactics | What’s working, what’s off, what needs help |
Monthly | Goals + Strategies | Are we on track to hit quarterly targets? |
Quarterly | Objective + All Elements | Reset or realign based on market & progress |
Tips: OGSMT is not a one-and-done document. Revisit it. Refine it. Let it evolve with your business.
3 KEY AREAS TO FOCUS ON
1. Start with the End in Mind
Tip: Don’t begin with tactics. Start by defining your Objective and the one or two Goals that matter most.
Example: A SaaS founder wanted more demos. Once she focused on her actual Goal ($200K new MRR), the tactics changed from “run ads” to “outbound to top 500 targets.”
2. Force Line-of-Sight Between Strategy and Action
Tip: Ask: “What is this action helping us achieve?” If it’s not tied to the Goal, cut it or redirect.
Example: One company kept running content webinars with no strategy. After OGSMT mapping, they stopped 80% of low-yield webinars and redirected budget into ABM.
3. Build It With Your Team, Not For Them
Tip: Use a whiteboard session, team meeting, or shared doc to co-create the OGSMT with your team.
Example: A media sales leader created their OGSMT with reps during an offsite. Execution rates doubled because the team helped write the plan.
3 ACTIONS YOU’LL BE ABLE TO TAKE
Build a one-page OGSMT plan customized to your team or company.
Assign and align team responsibilities across each section.
Run a structured review rhythm that keeps your sales plan alive.
