Sales Performance Improvement

 
  A consistent pattern in surveys of CEOs in the past few years has been that selling is their top issue. In a recent survey of CEOs by SEEDA, of 136 respondents, 82 or 60% put selling at the top of their issues list.
 
 

Some symptoms of poor sales performance

  • The pipeline is more a pipedream than a reality.
  • Customer satisfaction levels could be better.
  • Achieving targets is not the sales team's strength.
  • Turnover is more descriptive of staff than revenue.
  • The impact of training in sales is short-lived or negligible.
  • Sales & Delivery are often at loggerheads.

 

  The standard techniques used to address selling problems typically focus on superficial symptoms rather than root causes.  The results are usually poor and in any event provide only a short-term transactional solution.  The basic reason for this is that recruiting new people or training the existing people will have little effect if the selling environment in your company is inconsistent with the introduced skills.

There is an inseparable link between the overall performance, health and speed of development of a business and its capacity to sell.  By “sell” we mean; creating new customers, maximising the value of existing customers and generally finding more new and additional business.

For this reason, our core focus typically commences in the sales operation but also looks upward to the Board and its strategy, inward at the integration of the selling operation with the rest of the organisation, and if appropriate outward to the customers and marketplace.

We address every aspect of the company that can contribute to or influence the performance of your selling operation, and that can provide the impetus to accelerate you to new levels.
