How do you compare? Are you that different?
These research findings show that sales performance is not being optimised.
However, while the above are BIG barriers to optimal performance … the BIGGEST barriers are not in processes, systems and resources … they are in the mind-sets and attitudes of the sales people and sales managers themselves.
Knowledge and skills are important – but tenacity, determination, persistence, likeability, confidence, belief, grit etc. are more important.
For example, the research also shows that with one company … it took their best sales people an average of 3 visits and 5 follow-up calls to convert a prospect into a client. The average performers only visited prospects twice and only one follow-up call.
It cost them millions in wasted sales effort and lost sales opportunities.
Another company showed that clients buy after 5 “no’s” … yet 44% of salespeople give up after the first “no”, 22% after the second, and 14% after the third!
