FOCUS ONIMPROVINGONE STEP 3
STARTING POINTS...
Focus on driving down initial lead response times. Start by implementing tracking and then move to add automation.
FIRST CONTACT
Create one significant piece of sales collateral and then embed it in your sales process so every prospect sees it.
APPOINTMENTS
Start sending out automated meeting reminders to leads via AppointmentReminder.org.
MEETINGS
Test a new promotional offer and track close rates for the people you offer it to vs. those you don't.
CLOSING LEADS
LOSS TRACKINGStart tracking a specific reason for every lost deal and tally them up over time to identify common patterns you may be able to fix.
Create a long term follow up schedule and nurturing campaign.

5PROCESS OVER OUTCOMES
OUTCOMES ARE WHAT HAPPENED
PROCESS IS WHY IT
HAPPENED
PLAN THE WORK
WORK THE PLAN
And results are easier to assess and more objective than evaluating processes. But managers often make the critical mistake of assuming that good outcomes are the result of a good process and that bad outcomes imply a bad process.
Results are what ultimately matter...
In contrast, the best long-term performers all emphasize process over outcome.
