The Biggest Mistake In B2B Sales
Filed in archive Sales by Jim Logan on August 19, 2006
- not knowing how a purchase decisions is going to be made.In my experience, the most common sales mistake in B2B sales is not understanding how decisions are made in the account. Salespeople waste countless time educating, persuading, meeting with, and presenting to the wrong person. Why? Because they don't understand how the decision is going to made, both by whom and how.
If you're a sales manager this is the thing you ought to focus on with your salespeople. If you can't map how a decision is to be made, then you can't map your activities against it. In short, if you don't know how a purchase decision is going to be made, you might as well stay home.
What do you think? Is there a greater sales mistake than this? If so, what...and why?
