The key to successful selling has always been differentiation – primarily in product features, service capabilities and value.
The problem with focusing on these narrow issues is that we can easily lose sight of the bigger picture.
If we want to achieve different results, we need to think and act in ways that are different from the way we've always done it but also different from our competitors.
Applying industrial process thinking to your sales process will help to set you apart from everyone else.

38. Harvard Business Review had the
following to say*:
“...there was an 18% difference in revenue
growth between companies that defined a
formal sales process and companies that
didn’t.”
*Companies with a Formal Sales Process Generate More Revenue
39. and this:
“Companies that spent at least three hours per
month managing each rep’s sales pipeline saw
11% greater revenue growth than those that
spent fewer than three hours per month.”
40. and this:
“Companies that had trained their sales
managers to manage their pipelines saw their
revenue grow 9% faster than those that didn’t.”
