Turn your vision into reality
Sales Management + Coaching
In today’s crowded marketplace, it is ever more critical for sales people to deliver the company’s vision in every interaction they have with customers. It’s equally important for management to insure that sales tactics are applied consistently and effectively. What measures do you have in place to close sales and insure corporate vision is intact?
“Everyone is in sales. Maybe you don’t hold the title of salesperson, but if the business you are in requires you to deal with people, you, my friend, are in sales.”
Selling IS the business: The final tally at the end of the day, week, month, year, is what keeps the lights on and the organization running. But the days of selling at all costs are over. Savvy customers and easy access to broadcast bad experiences have transformed sales from a transaction into a relationship. And your sales teams are the frontline; Their management teams are your coaches.
THE FRONTLINE SALES TEAMS
Integrating the principle of “customer focus” into the sales process is a critical step in aligning organizations with buyer expectations in today’s market. But the age-old ability to keep the buying process humming along is just as important as ever. The challenge for organizations, then, is how to bring together these (seemingly) conflicting objectives.
