Creating an effective sales performance management system
| |
| Following on from last week’s article about managing and measuring the right things in sales, I thought it would be worth looking at some of the key principles for effective sales performance management systems.
The first place to start is to align your sales performance management system and subsequent key measures to your organisation’s strategy and goals. It’s then the job of the CEO and the Sales Leader to ensure the organisation (that means everyone else who supports the sales effort) is aligned to the sales performance management system. When this dimension is in place the organisation is best placed to sustain high sales performance. |

Tracking the Return On Investment of Your PR Campaign
| |
| There's an old sales adage that says "People buy from people they know, like and trust," and public relations (PR) is one of the most cost-effective ways to build the awareness, goodwill and credibility that help influence buying decisions. Not that we would suggest that small businesses use PR to the exclusion of all other marketing tactics, but a healthy dose of PR, combined with a little advertising, direct mail, or other tactics, can provide a big sales boost for many small businesses. |

Raising debt finance

Partnership from the Start: Set Yourself Up to Unabashedly Promote
| |
| You've been to presentations where you love the speaker, they're providing so much value...and then they switch into their "sales mode." Their voice changes. Their enthusiasm fades, and you sense a kind of discomfort in them that communicates, "Okay, bear with me, I'm going to do the sales part now."
Other speakers provide a lot of value throughout their whole talk and then throw in the "sales part" during the last few minutes. They race through their sales sheet so quickly that you're not even sure what they're talking about. Remember, a confused mind says..."No."
That kind of gear shifting doesn't inspire you to buy, does it? In fact, it sends you in the opposite direction.
So, what's the alternative?

Is Any Publicity Good Publicity?
| |
| There's an old saying that goes something like this: "All publicity is good publicity, as long as they spell your name right." Frankly, as a marketing professional, I would pretty much agree with that. Publicity means visibility, which generates awareness that could lead to interest, which combined with the credibility that earned media endows, could very easily lead to sampling or a decision to buy. (Bear in mind that what looks like a long, convoluted path on paper actually takes only seconds to register in the minds of your customers, and then you have results!) |
