Do you (or your team) need to increase your sales?
By far, most will say, "Yes, of course."
According to our best research, about half of all salespeople fail to hit their quota.
And here's the interesting thing:
Salespeople don't struggle to sell more because they don't know what to do.
They struggle because they fail to execute what they know.
That's even true for high performers who are stuck on a plateau.
Consider this:
Salespeople already know to...
- Prospect more ("But I'm so busy taking care of my customers/clients!")
- Ask for referrals ("I was going to but...")
- Ask for the sale instead of freezing up ("The timing wasn't right!")
- Listen more than they talk ("I couldn't get her to open up."
- Sell on value instead of discounting price ("You wanted me to make the sale, didn't you?")
- Be bolder, more assertive ("I'm working on the relationship first.")
- Show up as the expert, not the vendor ("But I need the sale!")
Salespeople know to do ALL these things.
They keep telling themselves what they "should" do and the promise to do it.
But they don't. Not consistently. If they did they'd be making their quota.
How do we fix that?
How do we help salespeople execute on what they already know to do?
