1. Can Your Company Handle New Sales?
It’s a deceivingly simple question. Can your company handle more sales?
The natural instinct of course is,“yes, sure, of course, absolutely we can handle more sales.”
But can you, really?
As an advertising agency, our job is to promote a company; its brand, product or service, with the
following key ideas in mind: drive more people to your store, drive more traffic to your website, and
make the phone ring. These are the“end goals.”
These“end goals” are designed to do one thing. Drive sales. Period. Get new customers, secure new
clients and simultaneously develop a pipeline of prospects – so you and your company can continue
to make more sales in the future.
Is Your Advertising Driving Your Company into a Blind Sales Curve?
But“what if”your organization really isn’t set up (at least right now anyway) to handle more sales? Let me say that again, what if
your company, your people, your processes, your systems are not set up or in place (really) to handle (some/lots) of new sales, and
meet the myriad demands the“new business burden”can, and does, place on an organization?That’s a tough question that some
people in business simply do not consider. Not thinking the“More Sales”issue through and doing the needed planning for“More
Sales”, that’s where your company will head into the“blind curve”and that’s what this piece is about.
Make Sales Today, Create A Pipeline for Tomorrow
“Sales”is revenue and revenue, particularly“new revenue”is the lifeblood of any organization. Doesn’t matter who you are, what
you do, what you offer – product or service, brick or mortar, consulting company on 18th
floor of a building providing a service,
working out of your dining room table, or garage, start-up or established entity. You are selling something. End of the day you
must develop new customers, new business, new clients, new contracts = new sales.

AVOID CROSSING
THE DOUBLE LINE:
Our job as an
advertising agency
is to put mechanisms
in place to drive
new business.
The question is,
does your company
have the bandwith
and processes in
place to handle the
new business?
That’s it. Make sales today, try and make sales for tomorrow, or next week, next month– (the timeline
for a sale is a function of the type of product or service, cost of product or service).
