Sales reporting > Sales forecasting > Sales management
Symptoms that indicate you need to do something about this:
- Sales forecasting is wildly inaccurate
- Some sales people are succeeding and some are failing and you don’t know why
- There is no clear leadership in providing a successful sales strategy
- Sales reporting is inconsistent and not timely enough to be useful
- You are not getting useful feedback about the competitiveness of your product or service
- Sales management is ineffective
We provide a service of sales process design and implementation that includes defining the sales stages, providing a check-list of key information that needs to be gathered during a sales process, like identifying the key decision makers and when the solution is required. The combination of the checklist and effective sales stages are then implemented in your CRM-based sales management system, providing clear unequivocal reporting on the true sales picture.
A clear sales strategy is critical to avoid unpredictable sales performances. Many businesses, particularly smaller businesses, find it very hard to predict sales or measure sales progress. Sales may happen eventually but often not at the time predicted in the sales forecast. This unpredictability means that it is hard to provide the right sized production capability to meet actual demand. This is particularly difficult and critical in areas of business that provide skilled services as these are the hardest to ramp up effectively on short notice. It is also very difficult for a smaller business that may only be available to afford one or two sales people, to discover that their hire was a mistake and that the sales person is not providing accurate forecasts or gathering effective sales information.
