The sales process

Benjine Gerber - Monday 23 February 2009 - 21:59 - 39 x read

What is selling? Selling is the process of helping buyers to easily perceive how your solution meets their need and why it is worthwhile buying. It is all about showing the value you offer - from the buyer's perspective.

Selling is an essential ingredient of business success.

Achieving success in sales is not a matter of chance - it is a proactive continual process, defined by your particular case. Taking shortcuts in the process reduces the possibility of a successful outcome.

Success in sales depends on what you aim for, how you utilise the given and how you act on what happens...

In the following series of blogs, I will be presenting a high-level overview of the sales process, covering the following topics:
  • Start with a marketing plan
  • Forecasting sales
  • Sales recruitment
  • The sales team
  • Prospecting
  • Pitching

Fine-tune your sales process to become more successful at selling!
