Sales Optimization
Top salespersons routinely outperform their peers by 200-300%.
These aren’t hollow claims or a web advertisement pop-up. These are the results we have found in our client organizations. How does this happen? Star performers – or in this case, top sellers in sales organizations tend to focus on different metrics than their peers. They look out to the next quarter’s business. They identify both customer needs in the future – and also identify how their own inventory of products will be changing over the same time. What new products will their company be offering and how will these products benefit their clients. And knowing their clients, fostering strong relationships, and winning a role as a “credible advisor” and not just a salesperson to their clients, is all part of the mix.
What can be done about this phenomenon? Those peers who are being outperformed are first off not salespersons on the brink of losing their jobs. They are typically high performing individuals who are meeting quota and doing well – and fostering good relationships with their clients. Our approach is to spend time “in the field” with the Exemplary Performers in the Sales organization and through interview and observation, capture the things those star performers are doing – that can be leveraged across the sales workforce.
