Really cool piece written by our Founder & CEO! Let's get you scheduled for a tune-up so you can zoom into 2024 with a #winningrevenuestrategy to increase speed to the finish line! From Barn Find to Glory: How Building a Professional Sales Team Compares to Rebuilding a '59 Porsche 356.... 🔧The Engine: Your Sales Team. Just like a '59 needs a powerful engine, every sales organization requires a robust sales team. This team is the driving force that propels the company forward, much like how an engine powers the car. Your sales team needs to be skilled, well-oiled, and ready to perform, just like a finely-tuned engine. Trusting your sales team is akin to having confidence in a well-engineered engine; you know they'll help you reach your destination. 🔧The Transmission: Sales Development Team. A great engine is nothing without a smooth transmission to transfer its power. In the business world, your Sales Development Reps (SDRs) act as this crucial component. Not only do they generate demand, but they also set up demos and meetings for the Account Executives (AEs), acting as the key cogs that shift the customers toward closing deals. It's critical for AEs to be well-prepared and take advantage of the insights and groundwork laid by the SDRs. A well trained SDR is a masters at gathering data and warming up prospects; they pave the way for AEs to drive a deal. 🔧The Rear End: Customer Success & Support. Once the engine is roaring and the transmission is smooth, your attention should clairvoyantly shift to the rear end: customer success and support. Just like the rear end of a car needs to be strong and reliable, your post-sale teams must be ready to handle the new level of demand and engagement. When customer success starts getting overloaded, it's a good indicator that sales are ramping up, requiring another phase of fine-tuning to avoid churn and maximize long-term contracts. 🏁 The Takeaway! Much like how a car goes back to the shop for further enhancements to compete in the next race, sales leaders are always looking toward the future. Achieving this year's goals is a landmark, but what about next year? The quest for perfection is unending. Sales goals are rarely static; they always scale upward, and that means continually rebuilding and fine-tuning your teams. The road to sales glory is much like the path from a barn find to a finely-tuned '59. Both processes are laborious, require attention to detail, and are subject to breakdown if any component is overlooked. And remember, once you think everything is perfect, it's time to start over for the next race—or the next year! Schedule your #salesengine tune-up to increase revenue in 2024- link below.

One of the key takeaways for me in my experience with peer groups was understanding the difference between “urgent” and “important”. (For more on this topic research the “Eisenhower Decision Matrix). This falls in the “important” quadrant. It’s not a coincidence that our average member tenure is 8 years, and the average attendance for our Roundtable monthly half-day meetings is over 95%.
