Do you Invest 100% of your Time, Energy and Money without the Return on Investment?

Do you Invest 100% of your Time, Energy and Money without the Return on Investment?

Business Owners, Presidents and CEOs of sales organizations spend much of their time second guessing what they could have or should have done differently that would have produced a better result.

For example: sales people you hire… yet do not produce, positive attitudes that slowly convert into excuses, and justifications for poor performance surface followed by an environment of complacency that creates anemic sales activities and turnover ... all create a plateau effect.

Quite often traditional sales people sit back after all of the hours of prospecting, pitching, presenting, proposal writing and chasing and go over in their own minds why the prospect, who seemed so interested, did not buy. The reasons that typically come to the surface are at the very least, predictable.

• Your price is too high!
• We need to “Think about it”!
• We have decided to back burner this project for now!
• We have decided to stay with our current vendor!
• We went with your competition

Unless you take action to change the environment and your company's sales approach, you are in effect accepting status quo!

Have you identified areas of inefficiency in your company? If these concerns have been consistent and constant, this is simply acceptance of the problem.

Resolve these issues today. Presidents and Business Owners, take our Complimentary CEO Diagnostic to uncover the gaps in sales, and sales management inefficiency that create anchors to your success and growth.

The question is, why are these reasons consistent, and why is it that we consistently determine these reasons only after it is far too late? Time spent reading emails, responding to voice mails, writing proposals with little or no real criteria, pitching to non-decision makers and not holding prospects accountable to commitments made is not time spent selling, it is time spent chasing! What percentage of the overall time on the job is actually spent eye to eye, belly to belly in qualified selling with new prospects?

How much time conversely is spent chasing and or babysitting existing customers who translate into little more than a trickle of residual income? Why does this dilemma plague sales organizations? Understand that it is you, management that either develop the environment or allow it to take place. You lowest level of acceptance for poor performance and productivity is typically the highest level of performance you can expect. A better question is what is this costing you on a day to day, month to month basis?

For example if you reduced by half the amount of time either you or your sales people spend chasing procrastinators and doubled your actual time spent selling (most sales people are only in front of new prospects {outside the scope of your existing core client base} 5%-20% of the time or 2-8 appointments/hours per week) what would this translate into with regards to gross sales?
