If the pipeline is showing long sales cycles, it’s time to evaluate the sales process. Don’t miss quota or forecast because of a fantasy land. They dictate behavior. If a pipeline is weak in the early stages it’s time to get prospecting. When bad decisions are made on bad data we miss quota.

Sales Processes and Methodologies. The worse things get, the more people decide to look at their forecast, as if looking at the scoreboard will improve the score. The time to observe your sales processes isn’t when things go pear-shaped. Showing up unprepared is to be ungrateful for the time and the opportunity.

Once the sales force was organized, and transparency achieved, sales results would improve. So would forecasting. There is no question the CRM is necessary, but there is also no question that it does something next to nothing to improve sales results, and forecasting is still challenging at best.

Despite our best efforts to see both the sales process and buyer’s journey as linear, reality provides a truth that is at odds with what might better serve us—and our clients. In complex, B2B sales, it is more often that deals take a circuitous path, doubling back over ground you have already covered, and full of fits and starts.

Q4 forecast doesn’t matter. Give a s**t about your customer and allow their objectives and goals to drive your sales process, not yours. Your commission check doesn’t matter. Nothing matters except the customer and their needs. Get better at “ getting” the customer: You wanna get better at selling?

Your sales processes and methodologies are only suggestions if you allow them to be.

Selling poorly, as widespread as it is, also isn’t a style.
