COMMON SALES PERFORMANCE CHALLENGES WE SEE
1. Sales visits, prospection, opportunity management activities not at target levels
i.e. Follow-up to lead activity is weak
Not executing the relevant sales activities
2. Lack of differentiation between high & low performers
3. Ineffective KPIs and Weak sales management
4. Sales reps too ‘comfortable’ with their income (incentives) and lack drive to get new business
5. Sales community or sales teamwork that is suffering
i.e. Sales people turnover
i.e. Not enough sharing, not leveraging power of the team
