Steps to Take to Ensure Success
It’s a wrap. But everything must continue to move forward with increased levels of urgency. In many situations cash flow is tighter, pipelines have been impacted and sales cycles have grown longer. That’s the reality, but as sales leaders and executives we need to take this week to reflect on the first half: “What went better than expected, what things didn’t work?” Sales actions that need to be taken this week:
(A) Hold a 2 hour sales meeting with your entire team to: 1) brainstorm on what needs to happen to have a successful 2017, 2) each salesperson must report on their first half achievements and what personal commitments (sales, personal and professional) they are making for the second half and 3) how they will help the entire company to be successful.
(B) Next make sure your 6- month marketing calendar is completed with the necessary levels of activities to generate pipeline values.
(C) Complete your next 90 day sales training plan. Then write out your personal vision and commitment statement for the next six months. This paragraph should describe your objectives and goals and add a personal sentence or two that describes what you will commit to from a leadership position.
(D) Make sure you have an end of year sales contest set and announce it soon.
(E) Re-read all my past blogs for other ideas that will propel your sales organization.
