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!

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.
