How Prepared Are You To Win?

Before you answer, consider the following:

• 80% of front line sales and cross functional leaders are not satisfied with their ability to lead the customer decision and map how they meet customer needs better than alternatives to creative value. [1]
• American Marketing Association reports that 90% of what marketing provides for sales is not meeting their needs.
• CSO (Chief Sales Officer) Insights reports that the win rate on forecasted deals entered into CRM is at 46.4%.

Market shifts have radically altered the selling landscape, so what do I hear when I ask sales teams if they are prepared to win? The most frequent answer is “not always” and I can understand why.

Previously, I was asked to join a team meeting in Chicago with a company that believes they have developed the sales enablement solution that gives sales organizations the ability to say with confidence “we are completely prepared to win!”

After spending two days with this team—I am a believer; and I am proud to introduce to you what I think is the most compelling offering on Insight Selling in the marketplace today: 5600blue’s Precision Guided Selling.
