SBI Insider Episode Summary

This week on the SBI Insider: Sales and Marketing Insights Podcast, SBI’s own Dan Perry and Eric Estrella look at the seven questions that stand between you and the development of a sales process that holds strategic alignment with your consumer’s behavior and your corporate strategy.

In answering these key questions, we discuss how to use strategic alignment for consistent sales results and how to suss out a tactic from sales strategy to drive efficiency. We also examine the anatomy of a successful sales methodology, before diving deep into details such as developing a data plan to allow you to hit your number, the difference between having a multiple and singular sales process, why you should adopt an outward-in sales process, defining your consumer’s exit criteria and enabling the sales process with technology. We also explain why market research is the key to getting it right and how to identify major interactions along the buying process so you can develop a call plan that anticipates potential sales disruptions.

We wrap up with a look at tracking sales process successes and failures with metrics to ensure that a sales strategy is operating as planned.
