CEO's & Business Owners How your Sales Course of Action becomes either your Companies Anchor or Catalyst for Growth.

 

All CEO’s face constant forks in the road as they navigate their business through changing economic and market conditions. The problem they face is not the fact that economic conditions or market conditions are constantly changing and have dramatically changed since the late 90s. The issue does not lie in the fact that buyers are buying in a completely different way from the way they bought in the late 90’s. The problem lies in the fact that the CEO fails to change.


As human beings we are habitual, meaning that we create habits that convert into a routine. The problem with a routine is that it will only produce a certain level of productivity.

Businesses have habits and often these habits are either developed or approved by those at the top. What is a business habit? A business habit is something your business relies on and repeats eventually becoming automatic.


Sales Organizations that find themselves stuck atop a plateau generally either rely on bad habits, or they rely on habits that in the past produced good results, however longer are effective.

Remember one thing. Extreme conditions create extreme behavior. This means that when sales become flat or economic conditions become extreme we become extreme in our behavior. When external factor change, so must we.

If you are not gaining the traction necessary to get to the next level or gaining the results you need it is now time to examine your business habits and re-engineer them, maybe even ask for help. This again is very difficult for the CEO, President or Business Owner as they more often than not are the ones providing help and support to others within their organization. However who do you rely on? Who do you count on for support and structure when things get tough? CEO’s take our Complimentary CEO Diagnostic to identify where you stand VS where you deserve to be.

Why you cannot find the Sales Superstar!

 

Business Owners, Presidents and Sales Managers often dramatically reduce their margins by making a major and common mistake—often their biggest anchor to gaining the traction necessary to get to the next level. Opposed to solidifying their core sales team by training them, changing them and providing them with the necessary tools to become more effective, they decide to compound the problem by hiring more superstars.
Often when speaking with Presidents, Business Owners and Sales Directors we hear a common theme. When asked about the overall effectiveness of their sales team with regard to new business development they typically respond with. “Well, I guess if I were to rate my team for developing new business, I would say they are not bad, they are about a 6 out of 10.”
Let’s look at this situation for a moment. Sixty percent effective! Are you paying out 60% of their salary, 60% of the auto expense, 60% of the advertising and marketing dollars, and 60% of their benefits? You are investing 100% of your time, energy and capital into an employee who is only delivering a 60% return on investment!

Why Business Owners compound their sales problems, as opposed to dealing with them head on.

Why Business Owners compound their sales problems

Presidents, Business Owners and CEO’s all have, for the most part, good intent. In fact we all do what we do because we believe that it is the right thing to do. Unfortunately it is not always the most effective thing to do.


Sales ineffectiveness and pipeline bottlenecks ultimately create a situation where companies work harder and longer yet fail to gain real traction. This in turn results with the organization being stuck atop a sales plateau.

As opposed to dealing with the real root cause of sales ineffectiveness which in turn leads to bloated pipelines, which leads to a complacency in the mind of the sales team, business owners instead begin a process which is a series of common mistakes. This process is not relied on because management intends to set out to sabotage the company. We will first outline the process, and then we will detail the mistakes. This process is relied on because many at the top fall prey to several issues.

1) Business Owners become conditioned to the excuses, lies and reasons for deferring change by the sales team. They come to believe that 50%, 60% or 70& efficiency is the best they can achieve. In other words the Business Owner accepts 50%, 60 or 70% effort, yet they are held accountable to 100% of the salaries, commissions, bonus, benefits, advertising and marketing and other expenses necessary to maintain the sales team.


2) Business Owners fail to change their sales team’s minds, resulting in failure to change their routine.


3) Business Owners do not realize that in order to get someone to “think” differently, they first must get them to “feel” differently.


4) Business Owners want and desire change, yet fail to uncover their sales team’s “incentive” to change.

Sales Obstacles and how to confront poor sales performance

Business Owners, Presidents and CEO's: You invest more money into hiring and training more reps, invest in additional advertising and marketing, conduct more sales meetings— Are you achieving more productivity?

Regardless of how many rounds of golf your sales people play with prospects, or how many sale meetings or attempts you make to motivate your team, sales are simply not good. Now what?
Many Business Owners adversely impact their margins by dipping into the corporate pocketbook to implement a new bonus plan. At best this may elevate performance temporarily, only to have sales people fall back into their regular non-productive routine.

Some CEO's fall prey to the complaints and bad attitudes of sales people who say they have no leads, or no one to call. Opposed to dealing with the actual problem, poor closing skills, they again adversely impact their margins by investing into more advertising and marketing campaigns. They simple want you to spend more money for them to get more leads, to have more opportunity to close LESS business!
