I always tell people the same story … when I am considering referring you to one of my good clients … the deciding factor is generally based on my observed behaviors of you during our interactions. My theory is that, how you act with me will be the same way that you will act with my clients. What else do I have to go on? This same axiom will apply to interviewing new people for a sales position or, for that matter, for any position in your company.

There is nothing worse than having to mark an opportunity record in your CRM as "closed lost." The second-worst prompt is "closed lost reason." The field in your CRM may have a drop-down menu, so you can easily document the reason you lost the deal. It stings a little to acknowledge that another salesperson won the client's business. It is proof your competitor did something different, something that gave them an edge in creating a preference.

In sales, customer objections are a fact of life. But running into the same objections time and time again can make selling feel more like Groundhog Day, especially when you know they’re coming! Maybe you have one of the more expensive solutions on the market and have to routinely defend your pricing. Perhaps you work for a boutique firm or startup and constantly deal with questions about your size, youth, or perceived lack of experience.

As a sales manager, you need to report on the success of your sales team, and a weekly B2B sales report allows you to share information with your company and help the sales force learn about their own performance. Your CRM captures all kinds of information from activity to outcomes. Your weekly sales report, however, should do more than count activities and outcomes.
