Perhaps the following questions might help you:
- What do you want to achieve with your sales operation?
- What is working well for you at the moment?
- What is not working very well?
- What are the reasons for this?
- What can you do to change or influence these reasons?
- Who are your target customers? How well do you know them, what they want from you - and how they make buying decisions? (What is their buying process?)
- Who are your main competitors? How are they approaching the market? What is their sales strategy?
- Are your sales team working effectively? What are their skill levels? How well are they motivated?
- Is the reward system matched to the required behaviours from the sellers?
We can help you to work through these areas and to develop a robust sales strategy. You can make a start by looking at the SuccessSales and SuccessSales checklist in the downloads.
Do you have a clear sales strategy? Does everyone in the organisation know what it is? Are all of the functions aligned with it?What are the implications for the sales approach? It is essential that you have a sales strategy which is suitable for your market and how your prospects and customers buy your products and services. By identifying your sales strategy and then putting the appropriate sales process, sales team and structure, and sales methodology in place you will increase your sales revenues and your sales success.
The groundwork you put in to carrying out the situation analysis and developing your sales strategy provides the foundation for your sales plan. There are templates which can help you to do this and provide a structure for your thinking. Once the plan is written it needs to be used as a "living" document, visited frequently and adapted as necessary to reflect changes in the marketplace.
