Just as a marketing strategy provides focus and direction for your marketing program, a selling strategy provides your sales team with a roadmap for developing profitable top line revenue. We stress profitable because most industrial organizations have limited sales & marketing funds. As a result, your sales team needs to focus on prospects who provide revenue at margins that enable you to meet your corporate profitability goals. We'll help you develop a selling strategy (and selling tools) that fit your specific needs and situation. Some typical 'real world" strategies include:
- Leveraging existing customer relationships into new opportunities within the same company or the customer's sister companies.
- Leveraging existing products by finding prospects who use or need those same kinds of products.
- Targeting specific customers of your competitors who you know are being underserved or poorly supported by a competitor.
- Putting more feet on the street (without adding overhead) by developing or expanding your independent rep program
- Finding new applications and markets (and specific prospects) for existing products
- Diversifying into adjacent markets
- And more....lots more.
