| OVERVIEW: |
In the "New Normal", which is the reality of business today as a result of the recent "Great Recession", most sales organizations are experiencing longer sales cycles, decreasing pipeline close rates and smaller deals.
How big is this problem? Did you know that sales departments operate at a 15% pipeline close rate efficiency?
∑ Sales Won____________________
∑ Sales Won + ∑ Sales Lost + ∑ Non-decision = 15%
That means that sales, pre-sales, sales support, sales management and executive management put time and resources into something that 85% of the time isn't going to drive revenue in the given quarter!
Join us and learn how to change this paradigm. Learn how to increase sales productivity while at the same time, reducing the cost of getting the sale.
