The Methodical Sales Process

This intuitive, logical framework is an excellent basis for organizing the collective sales wisdom of sales executives and reps.  The architecture includes 14 sub-processes that are grouped into three main categories…  Sales Operations, the starting point and core of the whole selling process, Customer Satisfaction, concerned with maintaining the business from your current customer base and Sales Support, the activities performed by field reps, staff and management to make the sales operation as productive as possible.

As Sales Best Practices are identified, they are placed into one of the 14 categories.  They are defined as follows:

bullet

Sales Operations 

(This section comprises the tradition sales "Funnel" or Pipeline.")
 
bullet

Identify Opportunities - To whom might I sell my products/services? How do I determine which are the best prospects?

bullet

Gain Attention - How do I get the decision-maker to recognize that my firm might have useful products/services?

bullet

Establish Interest - How do I get the prospect engaged in a decision process regarding my products/services?

bullet

Conduct Discovery - How do I work with the prospect to clearly define requirements and issues, customize and justify use of my products/services and begin to get his/her buy-in?

bullet

Present/Propose - How do I package my complete value proposition for delivery to the prospect?

bullet

Close - How do I reach final commitment?

bullet

Customer Satisfaction 
 
bullet

Deliver/Implement - How do I assure that my products/services are properly delivered to and/or installed by the customer?

bullet

Build Loyalty - How do I ensure continued customer satisfaction?

bullet

Develop Relationships - How do I continuously establish and enhance the trust and confidence my prospects and customers have in my company and me?

bullet

Sales Support
 
bullet

Account & Territory Management - What are all the things I must do to assure that my company's time and resources are productively and optimally used?

bullet

Field Operations Support - What must the sales support staff do to help the sales reps and what tools are needed?

bullet

Human Resources - How do I recruit, hire, train, motivate and retain sales personnel? 

bullet

Quality Assurance - What are the standards for performance of each sales activity and how do I assure that these standards are met? 

bullet

Process Management & Metrics - How do I ensure continuous improvement?  How do I measure all the activities in the sales process so I know if I'm doing well or poorly?

Four sets of information need to be developed for each of the 14 categories.  These include:
 
bullet

Completion Criteria - How to do I know when I have completed the stage?
 

bullet

Metrics - How do I measure the quality and quantity of my performance?
 

bullet

Best Practices - What specific activities will help me achieve the completion criteria most quickly and efficiently?
 

bullet

Tools - What tools are available to help me execute the best practices, efficiently and effectively?

All of the above intelligence needs to be organized into a formal sales knowledge mine that is:
 
bullet

Readily available to all sales personnel
