So many b2b companies don’t have a documented new client qualifying process for the sales team to reference when speaking to prospects for the first time.
What is the cost of lacking a qualification process?
- sales reps waste precious time
- sales reps lose motivation by sending out proposals that will never close
OUCH!
What is the upside to an amazing qualification process?
- shorter phone calls
- clear objective for first call
- reduced follow up
- monster win rate
YAY!
What would life look like with a 90% Qualified Lead to Win rate?
How much extra time would the sales team have if 50% of follow up time was reduced? Longer Lunch Break Anyone?
