Development Of Competitiveness Of The Sales

Posted June 23rd, 2010 in Business-Work by admin

What possibilities of the organisation where is possible to find a resource in development of its competitiveness and increase in its profitableness:

1. Work with the client should not be limited to effective sales and active attraction of new clients. To keep the old client for the company is more favourable than to involve the new. Because of bad servicing, their big part (to 70 %) leaves to competitors. Expenses for competently constructed advertising company bring obvious advantage of the company but if this money to spend for improvement of quality of servicing the company profit will be even more. Actual there are the accents placed on the repeated reference of the client and increase of its satisfaction.

Techniques of gathering and the analysis of this statistics can be different, they can be developed, as forces of employees, and the involved experts. The main thing is to define criteria and indicators on which you suggest clients to estimate your goods / service and to define sample of clients about the further contact. The urgency of this procedure is obvious – on the basis of the received data the company can build the optimum strategy focused under inquiry of the clients, and it is essential odds in competitive struggle.
2. Whether the company of the clients knows:

How much money the company spends for maintenance of client base? How much money is spent for each client separately? Who from clients makes for the company the greatest profit? The company spends considerable money for what clients, thus remaining at a loss? How to count up profitableness of the client, how to count up profitableness of each of them?
Whether these calculations are conducted? How much they are correct, to what degree are detailed? By what criteria the personnel in work with clients is guided? On what the company leans, forming offers to the clients? These offers are how much adequate?
In this respect there is a rigid statistics:

- 5 – 15 % of clients bring to 100 % of net profit

- About 50 % of clients yield losses at net profit level

- 25 – 45 % of clients cover only 1 – 5 % of costs, and 25 – 45 % consume the same to one third of all accessible resources.

- The most extreme case (and less typical) when the most non-profitable clients absorb more resources than taken profitable clients all together. Thus sellers spend for these clients too time as for the profitable.

The resulted statistics shows that "the total" approach to the analysis of dynamics of sales and "ignoring" of dynamics of behaviour and preferences of clients can lead the company to pitiable results and, at least, already lead to the missed benefit.

From Effective Sales To Business Process Of “Reproduction Of The Client».

Posted June 23rd, 2010 in Business-Work by admin

For today many Ukrainian companies are concentrated on the product, work with the client in them is limited to "effective sales", profitableness of the company and dynamics of sales is provided with quantity of clients, the client policy is characterised by "the total approach» and directed active attraction of new clients.

Thus tendencies of the modern market are characterised п by the distribution of accents dictating necessity of search and use of other approaches. Focus of attention from the goods gradually moves on the client – he is the legislator in the market, he has the right to choose the goods and service, to dictate the conditions and to wait for the special relation to.
The modern market puts before leaders of a problem of other order:

What new the company can offer clients in conditions when the prices, quality and assortment in the market are almost identical?
As the client perceives our company. He leans against what impressions, judging it?
Why, having visited our company and our competitors, the client prefers to buy from the competitor?

How to satisfy requirements of the client and, thus, not to remain at a loss?
What clients make for the company the maximum profit?
How to be with clients for whom the company spends many efforts, but these efforts do not pay off? How to leave the client having saved thus a kind rumour?
How to make that efforts of sellers on deduction and attraction of the client and efficiency of sales, did not appear vain. Success of realisation of transactions depends on what else the company divisions. Who is the participant of this chain. In what of links of a chain of work with the client this communication is torn?
So on the agenda there is a question on an urgency of transition of the company from accent on quality of the let out goods and its uniqueness, on technology of sale and efficiency of sales to accent on satisfaction of requirements of the client at preservation of interests of the company which expands the marketing concept, connecting to "effective sales" and builds the uniform scheme of work with the client.

It is a strategic approach to the organisation development, providing increase of its competitiveness and the growth of profitableness meaning mobilisation of all its resources on revealing, involving, attraction of clients and deduction of most profitable of them, at the expense of improvement of quality of servicing and satisfaction of their requirements.

Is it possible to measure trace satisfaction of clients? Sellers give too much attention to qualities and characteristics of the goods and services, irrelevant for clients. It occurs some kind of company "cycling" on the goods and services to the detriment of inquiry of the client. To be developed towards the client is quite probably having organised procedure of a feedback with him.

Today it is quite easy to find a good b2b connection - this is where a professional appointment setting can help you a lot.

And some general tips - today the online technologies give you a truly unique chance to choose exactly what you require for the best price on the market. For example, search for free insurance quotes. You will be amazed how quick you can find range of products and prices for them. Strange, but most of the people don't use this chance.

Planning Of Sales

Posted June 22nd, 2010 in Business-Work by admin

Let's try to answer the following important question now: how to plan sales after process of sales is reconstructed. For certain you have to meet time and again performance of the monthly plan of sales on 74 % or on 128 % (in both cases the figure strongly differs from 100 %). How correctly to put monthly plans? And how they should correspond with quarter or annual plans?

Let's begin with long-term planning. It is absolutely senseless to argue that the annual plan of sales is necessary. After all if it is not present how to plan circulating assets or advertising budgets? However the relation to planning for a year forward should be reconsidered.

Now more than ever earlier we do business during an epoch of constant and fast changes, during an epoch when operative reaction to new possibilities frequently brings much more money than steady following to the long-term strategic plan.

Imagine that you are engaged in trade in computer technics and in the market there is a new type of devices on which for short terms the great demand will be generated. You will start to sell new devices, and at the expense of it execute the annual plan of sales for 130 %. That you will do with this figure, considering that at the moment of the statement of the annual plan you yet did not know about a novelty, in many respects for which account you and have achieved considerable enhancement of sales. But whether it means that your company has worked superefficiently? No. Most likely, level of performance of the annual plan of sales will be not the only thing (and at all the most important!) an indicator against which you will lean at the analysis.

Or we can follow other example. You trade with metal constructions. In half a year after the statement of the annual plan of sales on the market of metal constructions there is a large company, by financial possibilities surpassing all players operating in the market, distributes commodity credits to the right and on the left, and the part of your clients from you leaves only because you cannot simply offer the same conditions. In the end of the year you find out that the annual plan of sales is executed by you on 72 %. It is sad. But whether is it the basis that all your employees concerning sales, have not received the annual bonuses? No, as at the moment of the statement of the annual plan of sales the alignment of forces in the market was another.

Thus, we have approached to very valuable rule №3 which is seldom used to this day in practice: "the annual plan of sales should be exclusively a reference point for employees of the company, the accent in planning should be displaced on operating plans - quarter and monthly".

Today it is quite simple to find a good business 2 business connection - this is where a professional appointment setting can help you a lot.

And some general tips - today the Internet technologies give you a truly unique chance to choose exactly what you want for the best price on the market. For example, search for free insurance quotes.

The Organization Of Process Of Sales.

Posted June 21st, 2010 in Business-Work by admin

During a high season sales volumes are considered under a microscope almost each day. How to be assured that the greatest possible profits will be taken and competitors will appear far behind? Where are the guarantees that your key clients will choose you as the basic supplier? Whether managers on sales on all can work hundred and increase sales? And how in general to achieve increase in sales? It appears, it is possible not only to answer this points in question, but also completely to solve them, consistently having realised a number of simple changes in management of sales. Let's understand what do you need for changes and why they bring excellent results on increase in sales?

Correctly organized sales are not less than half of general success. Without dependence from that, than your company - plasma TVs or stockings trades - process of sales looks equally and can be divided into 3 key stages: search of new clients, actually sales and documentary registration of the transaction. If process so easily breaks into components why your manager on sales rings round new clients and prepares waybills that speaks about not the highest level of management of sales? After all the principle of a division of labour is old as the world and still nobody cancelled it.

The main and unique problem of the manager on sales is to sell including to increase sales. To sell to operating clients who are fixed to it. After all its derivation from the given problem for certain will cause decrease, at that time when you achieve increase in sales. From here a rule №1: "the manager on sales should sell only to the clients fixed to him and to be engaged in it of 100 % of the working hours".
Managers on sales are key people in any wholesale company because they, directly co-operating with clients, and bring the companies money.
There are many reasons why it is favourable to company to employ assistants to managers on sales.

First, the given resource is so inexpensive that more often monthly expenses for it will pay off only one additional transaction which will be made by the manager on sales during liberated time (the average salary of the assistant to the manager on sales does not exceed $450 a month).

Secondly, it is the best way of creation of a personnel reserve. When one more manager on sales is required to you, you will not need to run in your department of the personnel since you for certain will find the worthy candidate among assistants to managers on the sales already working in your company. Capable assistants, especially if in the company exist programs of their development can already take of a position of the manager in 6-9 months of work in the company. Attentively look narrowly at these people - time for acclimatisation in collective is not required to them and they already know about process of sales in your company all!

Today it is quite easy to find a good b2b connection - this is where a professional appointment setting can help you a lot.

And a final piece of advice - today the online technologies give you a really unique chance to choose what you require for the best price on the market. For example, search for free insurance quotes.

Business Ethics – Speaking Up or Keeping Silent?

Posted April 23rd, 2008 in Business-Work, Ethics-Conduct by admin

I have always been an advocate of saying what's on your mind, but the question here is, is that appropriate in the business world? My answer, Absolutely! To an extent....?

Outspoken Workers

Whether you like them or not, outspoken people tend to prosper in the workplace. They are not afraid of sharing their thoughts or feelings on any particular matter, they are not afraid to speak out in the middle of a board room meeting or talk one on one with the boss in the privacy of his or her office.

Everybody, at some point in time, will have a great idea especially if they know their field of work. The outspoken crowd will be more likely to hit on those ideas in front of coworkers and higher ups. It makes them naturally look good in the eyes of a company, they often look like the type of people that get the job done, they are leaders who appear to always be on the lookout for the company, keeping track of the companies' best interests.

The Silent Type

In a lot of cases the silent type are more genuine and caring, they are often highly focused on the task at hand but they also tend to be shy and show little signs of power and leadership. Most companies will not look at a shy or quiet person as someone well suited for a management position. That persons inability to speak out in a crowd may affect and/or weaken communication among the employees. Companies are usually looking for people who are strong and not afraid to take charge under any situation.

If you would be considered the silent type, it is time to come out of your shell and let the world know that you are here. I used to be one of you when I was younger, if I were around a group of people I would clam up and have nothing to say. One day I made a commitment to myself that I would change, I would demand to be seen for my skills and expertise and on top of that I would be taken seriously. So the following day I went to work, mustered up everything I had and shared my ideas with all right in the middle of our morning meeting. You know what, people liked my ideas and I began progress in my job, but it wasn't easy by any means. That morning when my mouth started talking I felt like crawling in a hole from sheer embarrassment. But when it was all over and people were talking about what I had to say, it honestly felt really really good. Oh and by the way, since that day I have had the pleasure of speaking at conferences and seminars in front of hundreds of people, which is something I could have never done had I not taking those steps.

Stay Away from Extremes

While I did have a lot of good things to say about those of you that like to speak up, it can be easy to take it too far. You have to learn when the best and appropriate times are to share your knowledge. I have crossed paths with many people that just blurt out whatever they are thinking at that particular time, and I can guarantee you that nobody likes that, it will come off as though you are only interested in what you have to say and not anyone else in the room.

Once you find that good mesh between silent type and outspoken, you will be amazed at just how fast you can climb the ranks to higher positions and of course the always great pay raise.
