Business Plan Why Doesnt Your Business Plan Consistently Deliver Your Desired Results
Business plans are designed to help achieve the desired results. If this is true, then why do so many businesses fail to have consistent success? Maybe it is time to rethink the solution and take an innovative look as to the real obstacles facing your business.

Business Coach learnings about Unprofitable Sales
As Brian Tracy says, the root of all business problems is “low sales”- and the solution is “high sales”. Very true! Now read on to what his certified FocalPoint Business Coaches have to say about fixing that problem in your company.
Don’t be Afraid to Help Clients Reach Financial Justification
Most sellers know the technique behind a conversation that will gather the needs required to make a strong solution recommendation. But, to be a true consultant to your clients and stop the competition in their tracks, the conversation must evolve into much more. It must build a business case for investing in your recommendation and providing the client with a strong feeling of confidence in the return on investment (ROI) your solution will bring.

Money comes to you when you do this one thing!
What is the solution you offer your clients? Not what you think the solution is, but the actual solution. The greater the solution, the more money they are willing to give you.

Science of Staffing: 3 Common Staffing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
A true solution will usually only present itself after all miscalculations, misinterpretations and misjudgments of the mistake have been properly identified and (GULP!) accounted for. Knowing the most common mistakes on a promotional event is important, but it’s only half the battle for an event marketing agency. Learning from it is the other.

That said, please allow me to digress to a few common delusions...
The Future of Sales
For centuries, the sales model has been focused on placing a solution. Given the complexity of business these days, having the right solution to manage a ‘need’ is not enough to help buyers choose your solution. Buyers live in a very complex world now. With global stakeholders, economic downturns, enlarged decision teams, and an almost limitless number of options – all available at the drop of a hat – competition is far more complex than being addressed by us having a good solution and giving great service. And as a result, we’re having greater difficulty closing sales. We’d like to think it’s ‘the economy, stupid.’ But in reality, the problem is more complex.
Prospects Aren't Really Prospects
Sales has a goal: find a prospect with a need and sell a solution. You can call it anything you want, use all of the fancy terms about serving your client, be a Trusted Advisor or a Relationship Manager, do whatever you can to understand need and make nice. But at the end of the day, your job as a seller is to place your solution. Unfortunately, we do it the long, hard way: we assume - and this is a baseline assumption in the sales industry - that when we notice a ‘need' that our solution can fulfill, we have a prospect. Yet we consistently close 7% of our ‘prospects.' Obviously our assumption that a prospect with a need which our solution can resolve is a specious assumption.

First Contact: What to Do, Why, and How to Get Better Results
Depending on the selling approach you're using, you are closing between .6% - 7% , regardless of size of solution or industry. These numbers are far lower than they need to be: so long as your primary focus is on making a sale and you focus on needs assessment and solution choice (factors which are the buyer's final considerations), and ignore the change management issues buyers must handle before they choose a solution, you are delaying a close by a factor of 8.
