Hey there, business owners! We get it – having a crack team of salespeople is the lifeblood of your business. But let’s face it, not everyone starts off as a sales whiz. Some get stuck in the rut of merely taking orders, missing out on the thrill of being proactive sales champs.

In this blog, we’re diving into the secret sauce that turns those order-takers into sales superheroes. Trust us; these are the same strategies that have worked like magic for our B2B clients. Ready to turn the game around? Let’s roll!

Getting Real about the Problem

Ever felt like your sales team got thrown into the deep end without a life jacket? That’s a common woe. Many find themselves in sales without proper training, and it only gets worse when they switch companies and get a lukewarm welcome.

Salespeople struggle to meet expectations, manage time effectively, and close deals that need extra oomph without the right training.

Consequences of Lackluster Salesmanship

Picture this: Reduced revenue, increased costs, and decreased efficiency. Yeah, that’s the not-so-pretty aftermath of having a team that’s not firing on all cylinders and scaling your shop sales? Tough luck with a team of order takers.

Strategies for the Win

1. Focus on the Biggest Levers and “Low-Hanging Fruit”

Running a business is like juggling a hundred things at once. So, focus on the big stuff and the low-hanging fruit. It’s like hitting the jackpot without breaking a sweat. Identify the top three weaknesses, fix the easy stuff first, and watch the wins roll in. Easy peasy.

2. Put Simple Systems in Place

Systems, my friend, are the unsung heroes of success. A CRM to keep things organized, clear sales activity tracking, and some accountability measures – these are the backbone of a winning strategy. Don’t believe it? We’ve got a Weekly Sales Sprint that works like a charm. Try it, and thank us later.

3. Use Time Blocking

Ever heard of time blocking? It’s a game-changer. Slice your day into chunks, assign tasks to each chunk, and voila – you’re a productivity wizard. Block off time for daily follow-ups, lead those sessions, and be consistent. The results? Mind-blowing improvements in your team’s game.

Aim for Progress, Not Perfection

Nobody’s asking for miracles here. Start by building habits that breed high-level performance. Consistency is the key, and your team will thank you for it.
