Hitting the Sales Reset Button - Short Attention Span Sales Tip

Good morning!

This being the last week of June, it’s also the last month in the quarter and the end of the first half of the year.

How YOU doin?

Next week is a good time to catch up and get organized and get ready for a July sales push, this is a great week to take your temperature and pulse and rate yourself on the fundamentals:

1. Are you making a high-value call?
2. Are you calling on the right target markets?
3. Do you have a prospecting process?
4. Are you making enough calls overall?

Just like we make New Year’s resolutions, this week gives you the opportunity to start again and aim for different goals. Reevaluate everything you do and how you do it. Give yourself a rating (or you can even take my free sales assessment test found at sales.epicomm.org) and see where the improvement is needed.

In my experience over the years, I have found that sales challenges are most often a result of a low value call or a lack of persistency. In that order, these are the top two culprits if sales are down.

Think about where you want to be in six months and then think about what you need to do in order to get from here to there. If your sales are down and you’re being honest, you can look at these four fundamentals and clearly see where you need to improve.

Next week is a good week to improve some sales skills and get organized for the rest of the summer. For now, think about what you do and how you’re doing it.

Have a good selling week
