If you feel like your business is ready for the next level, or you’re feeling overwhelmed and need help handing off sales to someone else, we have a few foundational rules that we live by here.
Rule number one is that you must have the right foundations in place- this means having a validated offer, an optimal selling system that is predictable, reliable and repeatable, and positioning your offer so it has a high demand. Once you have these elements in place, creating a converter belt of potential customers becomes much easier.
In be successful in sales, it’s essential to remove your personal biases and judgments and put someone else in your place. This is where rule number two comes into play. Creating data through comparison is how the human brain makes sense of information. By implementing a 30-day ramping process, you can give your team members the time they need to get up to speed without putting undue pressure on them.
And finally, don’t forget about admin tasks! When sales reps are exhausted at the end of the day, let them do some light paperwork or follow-up tasks to feel like they’ve accomplished something.
