| These are
difficult times in the world of graphic arts sales. There’s
seemingly infinite capacity, quality is taken for granted
and everyone seems to be competing on price. Traditional approaches
to selling just aren’t as effective as they once were,
so we’re often called upon to help companies develop
practical ways to improve their selling effectiveness.
We take a three-dimensional
approach. First, we help to ensure that salespeople are properly
focused. We also help management to build processes for focusing
salespeople on the right accounts and then holding them accountable
for results their companies need – producing enough
sales volume while developing worthy prospects and improving
their penetration of existing accounts.
We pay particular attention
to curing problem sales months and enhancing revenue through
strategic pricing. We usually take a look at sales compensation
as well, because it so often works against salespeople meeting
their sales requirements.
Finally, we work to ensure
our clients have the services and production support to deliver
on the promises that a successful sales effort will make.
After all, sales can’t be improved for very long if
the company can’t support the new business.
Our clients quickly come
to understand that in order to improve their sales, they almost
always have to start by improving their product, and we’ll
help them with that as well!
