Scaling Sales: Tips the YourSales Way

Editor's Notes

  1. Sales and Sales Management since 1995 All experience comes from technology sales and related services Most experience with SaaS and similar models.
  2. In preparation for this presentation I went through 12.000 years of organisational study...
  3. Old market is gone. On to the new market.
  4. Mammuth – plenty of meat. Slow and lazy. Deer – not so much meat. Possibly lower hit rate. Oh, and more competition. This means an urgent need to adapt!
  5. This drives us to have to look at sales renewed. The method changes along with all other variables.
  6. 100% commission is probably the most attempted way of scaling sales. It truly is the dark side of sales compensation and scaling.
  7. Maybe your sales organisation needs a climate change!? Be conscious about your sales success Build the sales organisation for success Know Your Numbers Scale sales through lead ” Want More Sales? Generate More Leads! Cheat card... Lead booster / Boost your numbers (Your Sales) Number of leads Average Deal Size Conversion rate Time to close
