Exceptional Turnover And Margin Make For A Great Story…

Sales results tell a story…

In fact, the world is built on stories.

Yours, mine, everyone’s world is based on a collection of stories.

It’s how we make sense of things we don’t immediately understand.

Stories help us learn.

Help us process information.

Hard wire information into our memories.

It’s how we relate to each other and how we get to understand the world and our place in it.

Some stories have a lesson.

Maybe in what to do, what not to do, and sometimes, what to definitely not do!! (Don’t they make the most interesting stories though?)

Anyway…

The Same is True of Your Sales Results.

Your sales results build up a story that you’re writing every single day.

The sales results your sales team produce.

Whether it’s dials, connects, gate keeper rejections, decision maker connects, pitches, quotes, demo calls, discovery calls, closes, losses, wins….those sales results all tell a story.

They tell a separate story for each sales person in your business.

That complete set of stories create your company sales results, your turnover, your losses, your profits, your market share, your company value and your reality.

Your reality.

Often the key ‘markers’ used to assess if it’s a ‘good’ story is Turnover and Margin.

But those numbers alone tell you nothing compared to what they could be telling you…

Here’s What Your Sales Results Don’t Tell You

Everyone has their focus on the turnover and profit – that’s a must.

But shifting the needle on those numbers means going back to basics at an individual level.

Looking at:

  • Lost sales vs sales won
  • Sales closed lost
  • Conversion rates at every stage in the sales process
  • Discounted sales vs full price
  • Pipeline speed/sales velocity
  • Average order value
  • New business vs account development
  • Account growth
  • Activity levels
  • Cost per proposal
  • Cost per appointment
  • Cost per sale
  • Referral generation
  • Sales pipeline worth over 3/6/9/12 months
  • Sales pipeline worth increase month on month
  • Database penetration

And a myriad of other metrics

It’s only by looking at sales activities, habits and results at a granular level that you can strategically move the needle on the key sales revenues – turnover and profit.

Your sales results audit starts this process for you and it allows you to take control and drive performance moving forward.

So, if your profit and your sales turnover tells one story…what story will you get from lifting the lid on the activities and habits that generate those results?

And more importantly…

Giving You the Opportunity to Forecast the Sales Results You Want…

Thinking about the sales results your generating at the moment and how that’s building the story of your business success…

Would you change it?
