Problems facing salespeople today
- Salespeople are struggling to make sales quota more today than ever.
- Technology isn’t necessarily closing more deals.
- Training is more focused today on tactics.
- Sales strategy needs to be the focus.
Sales system to fill the gap
- Being willing to call an audible when in your sales process – being willing to adapt. Great quarterbacks do this.
- Changing your pitch based on who you are selling to. Pro-baseball pitchers do this.
- Taking time to be prepared before the call. Consider Pro-golfers.
- Identify the persona of your prospect.
Focus on the value to your prospect
- What’s important to the prospect you are talking to at the moment?
- Map your strategy to the strategic growth objectives of your customer.
- Align your product to the needs.
- Focus on the value and how you meet it.
- Go to the website of your customer to find how to align your offering.
