Setting unattainable goals can hurt your company

"People don’t like to fail and you and your employees can get demoralized after repeatedly missing targets by a significant amount and especially if your compensation is tied to a plan that will never be realized.  Secondly, in trying to hit an unattainable plan, management teams typically make another huge mistake – overhiring too early or frontloading all of their hires to spend their way to success. "

"Do more with less and be careful of ramping up sales until you have a repeatable selling model.  In other words do not hire too many sales people and send them on a wild goose chase until you have built the right product, honed the value proposition, identified a few target markets with pain, and can easily replicate the sales process and model from some of your customer wins."
