We all know how hard it is to get the sales force to review losses. When big deals are lost, it is typical for the reps to feel increased urgency to close the next deal – the targets aren`t sympathetic. But managers can gain valuable insight from analyzing losses across the force. Good post by Brian Berlin – Getting to “No”: How to Vet Your Sales Process to Avoid Lost Deals – in which he talks the most common negative responses from customers (“we are going with a competitor” , “we are not making a decision right now” , and “no thanks” ) and how to improve overall success by putting in place process changes to ensure opportunities are properly prioritized, qualified and developed.
