For a perfectly cooked main dish of deals that hit quota, keep things simple to understand and easy for sellers to sell.

Yes, I know how busy you are – I was a seller with a quota and territory for many years. Remember that positioning yourself online, finding strategic partners, and listening for insight into your niche should not compete with calling or connecting time. It may not be easy, but it is do-able. And you must do it to get ahead.

Unless everyone is at 100% quota, which is highly unlikely, have time for coaching and training. I’ve seen people head to buildings in the woods, in boardrooms at or near museums, and at universities. Instead of full focus on new products and training for new products / services, be sure to make time for sales skills development.

Not bad, since Joe’s two new clients helped him blow out his Q1 quota. Two of the last three people he identified, it turns out, helped him to find four potential sales opportunities he was not aware of. Joe ultimately closed two of the deals, adding $48K/year worth of net new business within 45 days. What did Joe do?

Not surprising to me, inside sales reps spend MORE time on selling activities than their outside sales counterparts, due to the travel spent fulfilling outside sales quotas. The continued rise of success for these specialist roles in quota attainment may be due to more specific and limited skills needed along with a more simple sales process.
