What Worked Yesterday Might Not Work (As Well) Tomorrow | Future Proof Sales and Leadership Training

When the rate of change in the world is as fast as it is currently then it makes sense to invest in having your own sales improvement champions and trouble shooters embedded in your sales function.

It means speed, agility, insight, attention and granular monitoring are the norm into your sales function…not just to take you in the right direction at speed, but to act as an auto-correct if the reality veers too far off the plan.

Which can happen, even in the very best of sales functions…

Sales Leadership Training | Your Internal Alarm

It’s your inbuilt alarm system – a sales leadership team that have the capabilities needed to forecast with certainty, look beneath the top line figures and see trends while there is still time to maximise impact of overt disaster.

With the right Sales Leaders on board – all things are possible, BUT, most important of all, you get to change the score while the game is still in play, instead of waiting and asking – what happened?

Recently, senior leadership teams find themselves having to accommodate the:

• Evolving needs of their people
• Constantly increasing demands of buyers
• Introduction of new technologies
• Changing work trends
• Challenges around critical skills shortage
• Training and development in the absence of office osmosis
• Flexible working
• High staff attrition
• Increasing cost of living….
• Lack of employee engagement

Investing in and developing senior sales managers and sales leaders shouldn’t be seen as a training luxury, it’s a commercial imperative…

For the good of the business, your people, your customers and your bottom line.

Act Now – Help Your Sales Leaders Plot of True North to Sales Success

The cost of leaving sales improvement development to chance is a critical flaw in many sales led organisations…and an area that’s rarely explored until the wheels fall off.

The trouble is now that, with so many supply chain demands, conflicting agenda issues, and off-kilter political agendas, meaning buyers are holding their breath longer before signing, involving more decision makers and pushing harder for discounts, it makes it tough to see the wood for the trees.

Imagine being in the thick of all of that and ask yourself –

how is your busy sales leader expected to identify a minor dip in sales performance from the start of a deep rut

And, even if they can make the fine distinction, do they ahve the sales turnaround and imrpovement skills they need to reverse that downward slide before it becomes critical?

On top of that, who wants to be a sales manager who exists in an exhausting and semi-permanent fire-fighting mode…so no sooner has one fire been extinguished, another one flares up again…

But one thing, one event comes along all too often.

But, as a Sales Leader, here is a painful confidence in the absolute certainty that every month, you have to stand in front of the boss and deliver the sales numbers.

Numbers, sales forecast that are sometimes more a hope and a prayer than a certainty.

Sales numbers that could happen providing the sales forecast doesn’t fall apart like a choc-ice in the June sun at some point in the next 30 days.

Numbers that could happen, with a push.

Results that the team could deliver….

You can remove that uncertainty immediately, plus you can really help your sales team get to grip with their sales pipeline, focusing their attention on where they can close deals, where they are in danger of dropping opportunities, as well as sign posting them to who they should close-lost.

You’ll see how forecasting and sales pipeline management makes sales forecasts nailed on, no fear!
