A recent study of senior executives responsible for making buying decisions clearly underscored what you probably already know - they don't have any desire to spend time with under-prepared sales reps. Incredibly, those same executives estimated that only one out of six sales people comes adequately prepared for the call!
Increase the Odds of Success!
High-performing sales people know that planning is one of key reasons they sell more. A 2009 global survey of top 20% performers tells the story:
- 97% said that preparation is the key to their success.
- 92% indicated that improving the effectiveness of their pre-call preparation would help them sell even more!
- And 2 out of 3 top performers would do more pre-call planning if it took less time.
