Comment pouvez-vous identifier les domaines dans lesquels votre équipe de vente excelle à l’aide des données ?

The best place for your sales team to excel is by leveraging the data in the CRM. For optimal sales performance, your company should be reporting on the following. 1. KPIs - number of sales phone calls made, sales meeting held, follow up calls/meetings and networking events attended 2. Number of proposals sent 3. Number of accounts that have been sent a proposal, that do NOT have a future activity scheduled against them 4. Pipeline - closing dates should be accurate and frequently adjusted based on conversations in sales meetings and follow up. Without this data, your sales team will not be optimised, productivity will be low, conversion ratios will be low, and you will not have the ability to accurately forecast your revenue.

One of the best areas that will give you insights is to look at the amount of time spent in each stage of your sales funnel. For example: If you find the time a prospect is spending in the post-demo or post-meeting stage, that is a place to investigate. Maybe your team needs to get better at following up or getting a next-step commitment from your prospect. Using this type of data will save you time and help you close more sales, more quickly.

By using a benchmark, a good sales leader can get information into their team's strengths which will help with decision making. These benchmarks should serve as measurable items that contribute directly to the overall success of your company. How? 1. Review Historical Data: Analyze historical performance data which over time, we will identify areas where our sales team has consistently excelled and areas that may require improvement 2. Analyze Tools Used: Track the effectiveness of sales tools used in achieving results. Identify tools that have contributed significantly to success and those that can be improved 3.

To conduct a SWOT analysis effectively, it's crucial to gather and analyze relevant data. This may include sales performance metrics, customer feedback, market research reports, and competitor analysis. By leveraging data analytics tools, CRM systems, and other relevant sources, we can obtain accurate and comprehensive insights to inform our SWOT analysis. Furthermore, it's important to involve the sales team in the SWOT analysis process. Their frontline experience and expertise can provide valuable insights and perspectives. Engaging the team in discussions and soliciting their input ensures that their collective knowledge is considered, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment to the identified areas of excellence.

De acuerdo con casi todo. Yo prefiero analizar la función comercial, incluyendo tanto la actividad de ventas como la de marketing de la empresa. Incluir la actividad de marketing ayuda para analizar el tipo de contacto que se está entregando al equipo comercial, el nivel de cualificación y el momento en el que se encuentra el cliente en relación con su disponibilidad a la compra. Este último punto tiene especial relevancia en el ámbito B2B industrial donde los ciclos de venta son muy largos. Entregar al equipo de ventas contactos con equipos de compras en las últimas fases del proceso mejorará las tasas de conversión y, desde la perspectiva de ventas, acortará el ciclo. En realidad, el cliente compra cuando está preparado para hacerlo.
