Sales 2.0
NOVEMBER 19, 2024
For most companies finding new business is hard. So many things must fall into place to find a new client. The research suggests that about 5% of a market is looking for a solution at any given time. So just by the law of averages, if you proactively approach people you will need to speak to 20 people to find one that needs your solution. That’s a big enough challenge, but then there’s the issue of speaking to anyone.

Take a quick look at the forecasted end-of-year close dates in your CRM system. What dates do most of your sales team’s opportunities show? Do you see a lot of December 31 st close dates? Chances are your sellers don’t understand how high performers close business and enjoy a more stress-free holiday. Whether it’s a more basic deal qualification tool like BANT , or a bit more sophisticated as with MEDDPICC, sellers are mistakenly taught to chase deal-close clarity in a sequence.

Understanding the Sales Force

More than a dozen years ago, when I was coaching Little League, I had two kids on my 9-year old team that never made contact with the ball. I spent some extra time with them and realized they were both swinging with their eyes closed.
