Most entrepreneurs know how to sell, and some even excel at it, so when it comes time to transition from the field to business ownership, they struggle to relinquish their duties. How can you equip your salespeople with the tools to assume control of the process?

As both a salesperson and leader, Nick Loise understands that no one will sell your products or services your way. However, when delegating the process, providing your sales team with comprehensive systems and step-by-step guides allows them to follow your lead. This involves teaching your salespeople everything about your target market, including their needs, problems, and preferences, and identifying how your services fit within their reality. 

In today’s episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit welcomes Nick Loise, the Founder and Chief Sales Officer at Sales Performance Team, to discuss training your team on your proprietary sales process. Nick shares insights into an effective sales training program, the importance of an organized CRM, and developing a robust follow-up system.

Action Steps:

1. Document your business’ sales process, including successful strategies and timelines for training your sales team: This creates a transferable system that a new team can implement, making your business more sustainable and scalable.

2. Develop a robust customer database within your CRM to increase your business’ value: A detailed CRM database enables effective follow-up strategies and serves as a critical asset during the business’ exit phase.

3. Initiate deep and varied follow-up methods with prospects to penetrate organizational layers and reach decisive stakeholders: Diverse follow-up techniques improve sales conversions by engaging various individuals in the buying process, from stakeholders to financial decision-makers.

4. Utilize video messaging as part of your follow-up strategy to stand out and maintain engagement with clients: Video messages add a personal touch and keep your business top of mind, improving the likelihood of closing a deal.

5. Implement a comprehensive sales training program that breaks down each step of your unique sales process into digestible pieces: Sales training programs ensure your sales team has a clear understanding of effective selling techniques, mirroring the founder’s success.
