90 days isn't enough time to close enterprise deals. The whole point is that the firings demonstrate that she was never set up to succeed by the organization.

That's why the org took heat online for it.

>90 days isn't enough time to close enterprise deals

I'm not sure why you think she was fired/assessed on the basis that she wasn't able to close enterprise deals within 90 days. The same tweet seems to refute this by saying "we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire [...] whether they’re going to be successful or not". Presumably they're looking at various indicators (eg. size/composition of the sales pipeline, reviewing her sales calls and/or emails) and using that to predict performance.
