Thought of the month: “Sales prospects don’t care about what you can do… they care about what you can do FOR THEM.”

Measuring Sales… it’s Not just about Revenue
In my first sales job after college (many, many, many years ago), my first Vice President once said to me, “I don't care how many sales calls you make… as long as you hit your sales goal.”

While the end goal is, of course, to generate revenue… it’s the steps in the process they get you there. Make no phone calls, send out no emails, deliver no capabilities presentations… and you'll generate no revenue. So clearly, sales activity is critical to sales success!
