The Sales Number Game Continues
Sales is about numbers. How many people you touch, how much you sell and how many dollars you make are just a few of the critical numbers that sales professionals need to know.

How Do I Make Sense Of My Numbers?
We had a client the other day who made a great analogy when it came to understanding the numbers in his business. If you've ever seen the movie The Matrix, early on in the movie one of the characters (Dozer) is looking at a screen with a bunch of numbers and he sees all this activity. The main character (Neo) is looking over Dozer's shoulder and all Neo sees is a bunch of numbers. Are you like Neo or Dozer when looking at your financials? Do you see all the activity that goes on in your business, or are you simply seeing a bunch of numbers?

This is especially true if this sales person holds the sales manager hostage knowing his numbers help keep corporate off the sales managers back.
