Up to now, I thought it was obvious and every business had a sales process. To my dismay, I only found out that 67% of all businesses globally do not have a sales process.
Not having a sales process is like someone in a maths exam and wanting the answer but without knowing the formula and process to get the answer you need. It is extremely important that you understand this process as without it you can never scale your sales.
WHY YOU NEED A SALES PROCESS:
Having a sales process helps you identify when something is going wrong. Sales in most times does not fail when closing. Most sales are lost within prospecting, follow up and other stages of the sales process. Without you understanding what your process is means you can’t pin point where the point of failure is.
Some important parts of the sales process include:
Prospecting: Developing a pipeline of potential customers and positioning the company as a trusted advisor
Connecting and qualifying leads: Identifying and connecting with leads, which can be done quickly and efficiently with the phone
Follow up: Not every sale is will happen immediately you talk to someone. In most scenarios you will need to send follow up information and check in on the lead before they are converted into a closed sell.
Handling objections: Addressing concerns or objections potential customers may have about a product or service
Closing the deal: Using the best strategy to negotiate a deal and make a sale
