Getting Started | The Best Practices Sales Audit
SalesQB has pioneered a start-of-engagement approach that leverages a comprehensive Sales Audit. There is nothing like it in the industry. I will ask many questions about your current state of marketing and sales production then apply benchmarking data and the known best practices available to improve company revenue performance. The results are documented in a +100-page report. From there, improvements across lead generation, sales information technology systems, repeatable sales process, and sales staff skill enhancements can be identified, planned, and budgeted.
It all starts with a virtual cup of coffee meeting – we’ll share the stories of your goals for revenue growth and current challenges. I’ll relate the salesQB story and how our Fractional CSO model brings benefits that are unique in the market. From there, if I am confident that my services and the salesQB approach can bring important sales production and revenue improvements – you’ll be the first to know.
