ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- In recent months, we've written about pipeline(s), CRMs, a common language for your sales team, and KPI's - Key Performance Indicators.
Does that cover everything your business needs to succeed? The answer is NO!
With KPI's we may be able to detect areas that are and are not performing. We may also be able to determine whether each area is 'systemic' or something related to an individual salesperson. Using your sales 'elements' – topics that we've covered in recent months – we need to interpret the information/data we have.
Three questions that will set the stage for un-complicating the complicated:
1. Are the results you wish to attain being met (YES or NO)?
2. If NO, what is the state of your pipeline (sales team and sales individuals)?
3. If the pipeline is weak in any way, is it at the team level or individual salesperson level?
With these 3 questions answered, you will have important information that can direct your focus on interventions. This can be transformative!
