Sales Process - The Engine Driving Your Sales
Sales processes are vital. The sales team landing that big sale may well raise a cheer, and nothing beats the satisfaction of creating a clear, working sales strategy - but let’s not forget that both of them are doomed to fail if your sales processes don’t walk the customer from enquiry to delivery and then to repeat orders.
I’ve known Julie for over 4 years now and she is very inspiration person, who is highly skilled in the art of sales, development, training, coaching & management.
I recently attended Julie's Generating Sales through LinkedIn course and would highly recommend it to others who would like to use LinkedIn effectively for the lead generation. The training was suitable for all levels - beginners through to the senior management level.
I’ve also attended other workshops with Julie in the past such as the art of Negotiation, how to monitor and manage your sales pipeline, maximise your customer meetings and presenting yourself on phone and I walked out with so much knowledge and implemented most of it in my business straightaway. Thanks Julie for all the support you’ve given to me as a person and to Web Alliance, much appreciated and I can recommend you to anyone who would love their business and grow with it.

Your sales processes should make it easier for the customer to move from their initial contact through to the deliverable with the minimum possible delay and difficulty. You would be amazed how often I am asked to help because this isn’t happening. Sometimes it is because the sales process has grown over time and become disjointed, sometimes it is because it lacks definition and direction and sometimes it is simply because it has never really been assessed properly. Whatever the reason, without a good sales process you are risking losing everything you worked to achieve in other sales areas.
The importance of a robust sales process can pay in the success of any business is often underestimated.
Once we have worked together to assess and improve it you should be able to not only take your customer through the buying journey as effectively as possible but also:
- Increase the revenue generated by your sales team
- Retain customers more easily
- Understand your sales data
- Use the information from your sales process to predict everything from new sales targets to buying patterns
- Enhance the efficiency of your sales cycle
- Streamline the buying experience for your customers
When you see the benefits a great sales process can bring, you realise just how important it is to the success of your business.
The best sales process always comes from a full understanding of how it interacts with every other part of your company. So, I start by getting to know your business inside out. Only then can we sit down together and design the perfect sales processes to rocket you to new levels of efficiency.
