Overcoming the challenges of an ineffective RFP process: Improved collaboration through intelligence synchronization (QStrat Profile)
I have had close to 30 reader responses to my recent posts on the utilization of the RFP or e-tendering process for the acquisition of goods and services. While there have been successful demonstrations of its utilization relative to MERX (MERX: An Evolution to a Broader Market), and of course the Commonwealth of Virginia’s eVA program (Yes Virginia! There is more to e-procurement than software), the majority of respondents do not view the current process has being effective. (Note: links to the above referenced articles are available through the Web Resources section at the conclusion of this post.)

My Sales Force Needs a Make Over
One reader emailed that he just inherited a radio station in Honduras, has never sold before, and he and his salespeople aren't able to book appointments. Another reader is the Sales Director for several well-known magazines and said that her top producing team is down 50% from last year. Yet another reader wrote and wanted to know how to chop her 2-3 year sales cycle down to 2-3 months.

No is a Positive Outcome in Sales
There are numerous studies that reveal that 87% of sales people working the telephone give up after the first attempt. By extrapolation this means that only 13% follow up more than once. Another 10% give up after a second call. Only about 3% of reps follow up more than twice. Which do you think have a higher rate of success? To get more positive responses you have to hear more nos. You hear more no’s (and more positive responses) by following up every lead and every opportunity. To get more positive responses you must be tenacious on following up leads. Get the ‘no’s’ out of the way. Being perseverant and persistent is the key and it requires two things: a follow-up system and self-discipline.
