When something needs fixing – a process, a person, a piece of hardware or software, -- we often seek to fix the problem and bring that thing back to where it was before we became aware of the problem. In other words, we seek to restore the previous status quo. But what if that isn’t the best idea? Join with me as we unpack this concept – one of the 25 most important lessons I’ve learned.

We often get so caught up in the details of a sale and quantity of transactions that we fail to regard the value of our customers. Sales is about people, not money. By putting an economic value to every customer it lifts them up in our radar screen and provides important information to help make decisions about sales and finances. In this article, I’ll show you how.

It’s human nature to resist change. But, in our rapidly changing times, mindlessly grasping onto the status quo can lead to mediocrity. If we are going to survive and thrive in these times, we need to relentlessly examine our hold on the way things have been and consider better approaches.

We’ve all done it. Promoted a good salesperson, often our best, to sales manager. My files are full of cases where the results were below expectations for everyone involved. Principals and CSOs are often disappointed in the lack of results, and the sales managers are confused and frustrated with the lack of achievement of their teams.

“I have great relationships with my customers.” That is one of the most debilitating myths around -- one that cripples the performance of the average corporate salesperson. Yet, it is endemic within the population of salespeople. I am not sure that there is a salesperson anywhere who doesn’t, to some extent, believe it. Let’s look a little deeper at the belief and its consequences.

A question from a sales manager: "Here’s an issue that I confront with my salespeople all of the time. They are afraid to press for the next step, because they don’t want to experience the rejection of hearing a “NO.” So, they try to keep the sale alive by not asking for resolution. This keeps them involved with customers who aren’t interested and prevents them from moving on. Any thoughts?" Read my response.

Review my answer to this question: Here’s a question about best practices for B2B sales and sales leadership that I struggle with almost daily. I’m definitely known for having very high expectations that aren’t so easy to meet. I wondered if you could elaborate on what strategies you have seen succeed regarding this, because while I’m sure open to changing my attitude, I’m not thrilled with lowering my expectations. I’m overly driven...and not far from driven crazy!

Over my career as a sales expert, I’ve personally and contractually worked with over 500 sales organizations. I’ve learned some things. Here’s one: Very few chief sales officers have a good handle on the economics of the sales force. And very few entrepreneurs think about the economics of a sales system.
Almost everyone can tell you what the amounts of the various categories on a P&L statement indicate. So, sales salaries, expenses, advertising costs, etc. are readily at hand. However, very few decision makers dig deeper. And that means that significant information is never uncovered, and decisions are made on the basis of superficial, and often flawed, information. Let’s dig deeper.
