I was reviewing stats from the 2022 World Series between the World-Champion Houston Astros and the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies might have had a two-man wrecking crew in Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper but it wasn't nearly enough. Over the entire 6-game series, the Astros' batting average was 43% higher (good), their pitchers' ERA (earned runs allowed per 9 Innings Pitched) was 26% lower (good) and WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) was 19% lower (good), the

One way to measure sales success is the number of deals closed. While some deals are larger than others, and some are easier or more challenging to win, there are several variables you control. If you don't want to have the same sales year each year , you need to work on improving your game. By working on these variables, you can create and close more deals in 2023.

Online orders were never ready at or even close to the time they provided for pickup.

Whenever I write that sales success is individual , it causes an immediate response from readers who argue that there are other variables outside of salesmanship or saleswoman-ship (a clunky term, but as a person with a sales force almost exclusively made up of women, I'll use it). The following variables are most commonly cited as being key elements in sales success, but all of them can bring a deal only as far as the individual salesperson can manage.

When we talk about sales growth, we are looking at the increase in revenue in a period. For example, in 2021 you generated $20 million dollars. In 2022, you generated $30 million dollars. Your company grew by 50 percent in one year, a fine accomplishment. But there are other ways to measure sales growth. No ways of measuring sales growth are exclusive.

Web scraping. It sounds like hard work, but it is more clever than arduous. The technique exploits a simple truth: The front end of the web site, which you see, must talk to the back end to extract data, and display it. A web crawler or bot can gather this information. Further work can organize the data for analysis. Digital marketers are forever seeking data to get a better sense of consumer preference and market trends.

Investing in data lets you make strategic business decisions based on insights rather than instinct or opinion. It reduces risk and drives smarter investments. But data has no value without understanding. While the data might make sense to you, it might appear as meaningless numbers on a page to people outside of your role. The benefits of data lie in the way you communicate it.

It focused on buyers spending less time with sales people, quoting a Gartner survey, suggesting they get their information from other sources. It concluded that we have to change, that we had to figure more/different ways to engage customers getting more of their mindshare.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.
