Improve Sales Process

One of the keys to improving Sales Productivity is the implementation and consistent use of a sales process. According to CSO Insights, companies that utilize sales process have significantly higher sales productivity than those that do not. If you have implemented Sales Process Models, you will be more effective in directing resources to the highest potential opportunities.

This does not mean that every rep in your company should sell exactly the same way. However, you should have consistent ways to measure where a deal is in the prospect’s buying cycle and you should provide coaching to your sales reps on how to use best sales practices.

Selling Methodologies should be implemented so that there is a common vernacular and understanding of the sales process by the various entities that engage with prospects. We are often asked: “What is the best methodology for our company?” This is the wrong question. Any methodology, when consistently applied, can yield significant Sales Productivity benefits. The challenge is the consistent application. VPs of Sales are often unable or unwilling to be passionate missionaries for a new approach. This is primarily due to the focus on short term bookings. When the top executives are not committed to the new approach, sales reps quickly sense that and do not pay attention to it.
