Build a solid sales infrastructure for execution

“In times of uncertainty, create structure” – Sir Ernest Shackleton, Explorer

Is your business in an uncertain spot?  Are you not sure what to do to jumpstart sales growth?
Follow the words of Mr. Shackleton.  His story of leadership is an amazing one.  He kept his  crew 
alive in the early 1900’s for over a year when his ship become stuck in the ice in  Antarctica.  An 
amazing feat for that period! One of the keys to his success was creating structure that every 
member of his team could follow day in and day out. This structure allowed them to focus on the 
task at hand versus getting caught up on their situation.  The team trusted the process and that 
led them to survival.
Do you have the structure you need to thrive?
Every highly productive sales force, whether your company is big or small, has an infrastructure 
and proven process’ in place that allows the team to thrive and produce results every year.
That structure helps remove some of the variables that come from running a business.  That 
structure allows you and your management team to effectively lead your team to execute at an 
elevated level.
Start with the basics:
Building a solid sales infrastructure to support the sales team and sales management is of the 
utmost importance for increased and sustainable revenue growth, specifically:
•     Developing a customized, written sales business plan and revenue plan by salesperson, by 
product, and by month;
•     Implementing a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM);
•     Developing a custom sales process for each product line and programming it into the CRM. This 
enables the business owners and sales management to tell at a glance which stage in the sales 
process each opportunity is in and what needs to be accomplished in order to move each opportunity 
to the next stage;
•     Developing key performance indicators (KPIs), forecasting models to track how the sales team 
is doing; and
•     Defining the structure and content for productive weekly sales meetings.
