I’m a big fan of training, it’s true that most sales people wing it; they need structure and discipline in how to go about organizing their work. If management can’t be bothered to get their act together, can we really fault sales people/team? Sales structure, systems and discipline can help.

You have a sales process in place, but the sales manager and sales people are using separate spread sheets with additional stages, because the current sales process doesn’t meet their needs. You’ve built a killer sales portal the sales team never seems to visit. Do you see what they see?

They’re waiting for marketing to generate warm leads, or something like that. The sales force doesn’t plan or prepare for sales calls. They’ve been here for a long time, and they’ve been in sales since forever. My people won’t prospect. They don’t believe they should have to pick up the phone. Everything Is Your Fault.

Your sales VP is going to miss quota. Her sales directors are going to miss quota. Their sales managers are going to miss quota. Sales people are going to miss quota. Was it because the wrong assumptions were made about the business and the market? That’s OK. The problem isn’t failure.
