Understanding the Sales Force

Earlier this year, I wrote an article about building a stone walkway and how it is such a great analogy to sales process. Today I was watching stone masons build a stone column and while the focus is on the column itself, each stone represents a process unto itself. Unlike retaining walls or two-sided walls, columns expose stones on all four sides, so each column takes a long time to assemble.

In a perfect world, sales professionals would spend most of their time talking with eager prospects who’ve done the homework, seen the marketing campaign, and asked for a meeting.

You don’t get many chances with your prospects. Send a self-serving, pointless, or pushy email, and they’ll probably write you off. Do it again — and they definitely will. As a result, you should think carefully about every message you send. Does it provide new information? Does it have a clear purpose? Does it somehow benefit the buyer? If you can’t answer “yes” to all three of those questions, head back to the drawing board.

Actual voicemails I’ve been receiving lately: “Hi Mike, this is Megan. Can you call me back at (phone number)? Thanks!” And what do I do with these voicemails? Delete.

Here’s what’s better: First, you have to let the caller know what company you’re calling from and the reason for the call.

I’m constantly amazed as I look at performance of organizations. I think, “Why do we revel in achieving our quotas and scaling goals, when we could be doing so much more?” If we achieve our growth/revenue goals, we think we are doing well. Too often, however, we could/should be doing much better. We are underperforming the potential.
