Managing Sales & Marketing Actions

Matrix Key:  Financial Viability - Marketing and Sales - Managing Actions

"Sales are contingent on the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect." - William Clement Stone

If you are going to be successful at marketing and sales, your actions must reflect your commitment to the sales process.  You must have a disciplined approach to managing your sales and marketing actions.  Sales requires a lot of constant effort in order to keep clients moving along the sales cycle and to keep new opportunities coming in to your pipeline.  If you're not careful, you can easily drop something out and lose an important deal.  You can use the WholeLife Matrix as a guide to managing your sales actions.

The most successful salespeople know that these four attributes are essential to an effective sales process:

1. Training
2. Attitude
3. Setting Goals
4. Time Spent in Sales and Marketing

The best salespeople understand that they need continual training to stay on top of trends and technology.  They set specific goals so that drive their actions.  They spend time every day in sales actions, and they know that a good attitude shows through to prospective clients and keeps them in the game when times are tough.  There will always be days when you want to throw in the towel, but if you focus on consistent sales and marketing actions, you will soon find yourself in the winner's circle.

Why Do I Need Sales Training?

"The key is not the 'will to win' - everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important." Bob Knight - Former NCAA Basketball Coach

Our company works with a lot of experienced salespeople who sometimes don’t see the need for additional training. We understand the thinking – why should I do a sales training program if I am already a successful salesperson?

Here’s why – because the game is always changing. There are always new rules, new techniques and new resources. And if you are not willing to spend time every year refining your skills, I guarantee you, your competition is!

Sales is a game where each month you start over with a zero as a score. Therefore, you always need new motivation to generate a new game plan to keep you in the winner’s circle. Just like an athlete who must consistently train in order to compete, business people have to train to stay sharp to effectively play the game of sales.

How you perform in sales is very much related to how the situation occurs to you. Through sales training you have the ability to develop different views or perspectives on how the sales world occurs to you. Those perspectives generate different action plans and when you implement disciplined action plans you will have different results.
