There is ample research shows that salespeople struggle to reach their performance potential without a well-defined sales-call procedure that they can follow and learn from. Without a well-defined process, a sales calls are left to luck and grim consequences – lost sales, long sell cycles, less revenue, and lower margins and there is no clear path to improvement. Bottom line: Your entire sales career can become average if you “follow as you like.”
On the other hand, the sales performance improves significantly when salespeople have a proven process and a consistent game plan for their sales calls.
Not just salespeople, but it is a human nature do the same things but expect different results. But unfortunately, that does not happen. Most salespeople make the same mistakes over and over without realizing it. Without a clear process and logical sales call plan to follow, salespeople can’t even identify specific problems, let alone correct them.
