You see it over and over again – sales people missing their numbers simply because they don’t have enough in their funnel. You encourage, cajole and sometimes even brow beat them because you know that without activity, there won’t be sales. You want them to succeed, but they just don’t seem to get it, and more than one will have to be put on a performance plan if they don’t turn it around soon. Why don’t they dedicate more time to prospecting and do a better job of it?
If they could, they certainly would.
Unfortunately, many sales people are ill-equipped to prospect for new opportunities in an environment where decision-makers have little time and even less patience for the same old sales pitch. And more calls without a better approach simply produces more frustration for you and your people. Something’s got to change, and that’s where we come in.
We are AXIOM Sales Force Development, and our four-step prospecting model will help your people:
- Create sales success plans that keep them focused on prospecting
- Define the ideal customer profile for your products and services, allowing them to focus where they will get the greatest return
- Determine how they can help a prospect BEFORE talking with a decision-maker so that they don’t waste anyone’s time
- Make a compelling case that gets them more appointments with the right contacts
Not only will AXIOM help your people prospect more effectively, our Selling Sciences Program will help ease their need for new prospects by helping them close opportunities at a significantly higher rate. The result: More prospects, higher quality opportunities and dramatically better results.
