You're struggling to get your sales team to meet their quotas. How can you motivate them with data?

From my experience, early starters who secure strong results in Q1 often surpass their yearly targets ??. Dramatically great outcomes are seen when managing key executives at the buyer's end effectively. Remember, being strategic and hardworking is crucial ??. The first step is identifying key metrics to gauge your sales team's performance and progress, such as revenue, conversion rate, customer satisfaction, retention, and referrals. Setting clear targets, benchmarks, and tracking methods for each metric establishes a consistent framework for evaluating and communicating results

The only data sellers want to see when they're struggling to hit their quotas is a path to hitting their quotas. Now the numbers, the HOW - specifically laid out. What you have to show them is forward looking. What is expected of them? How are you going to help each and every one of them achieve their goals? Who in the organization is rallying to help this effort? Set a target that everyone can hit if they show the right activities. Make it small, get some early momentum, get some early wins that show that your team can respond to you. It's important to understand from their mouths why the performance is the performance. What are they saying? What are their objections? Show them what needs to happen. Get their commitment

1) Establecer los objetivos conjuntamente 2) Revisar cada día los avances 3) Reconocer los progresos 4) Dise?ar un plan de acción

Data is super helpful to paint the "why" behind your coaching message. When coaching or developing you're often trying to drive behavior change in order to lift a certain KPI. If we focus on getting better at "X" metric, "Y" metric will left and help you get close the gap on quota.

Der offene Umgang mit Daten von allen Seiten ist eine Grundvoraussetzung, um Daten und deren Zusammenh?nge zielgerichtet einzusetzen. Der richtige Umgang und deren Interpretation ist ebenfalls wichtig. Daten aus der Vergangenheit erlauben eine rückblickende Bewertung der Arbeit und der daraus resultierten Ergebnisse. Aktuelle Daten eignen sich, um die Auswirkungen aktueller Ma?nahmen zu sehen. Der bewusste Umgang und die Beschr?nkung auf die wirklich relevanten KPI′s liegt in der Verantwortung der Führungskr?fte.

Since my first job in sales, I've always used data to drive strategy. In all the organizations I've implemented this, companies have seen a significant increase in sales ??. The next step is regularly and transparently sharing data insights with your sales team. Using dashboards, reports, charts, or other visual tools makes the data simple and engaging ??. Highlighting strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats from the data helps the team understand their current situation, progress, and gaps, fostering a culture of accountability and learning ??

Nothing beats data, especially when it's accessible and understood by all. This transparency can significantly enhance your sellers' performance ??. Providing data-driven feedback to your sales team, individually and collectively, enables you to recognize achievements and effectively address challenges ??. Utilizing data to set SMART goals and action plans ensures focused efforts and measurable success. This approach supports your team's growth and drives motivation and excellence across the board ??."

Seitens der Mitarbeitenden werden Daten oft als Bedrohung empfunden. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass in der Vergangenheit überwiegend die schlechten Ergebnisse im Fokus standen und der Begriff "Daten" hier oft negativ besetzt ist. Wenn Menschen neugierig auf Daten sein sollen, dann müssen diese Daten ein faires Abbild darstellen und der Fokus auf den positiven Ergebissen liegen. Selbstverst?ndlich geh?rt dann auch die Betrachtung der Daten dazu, welche widerspiegeln, dass Ziele nicht erreicht werden. Insgesamt sollen Daten heurte als EIN wichtiger Teil des Feedbacks gesehen werden, aber nicht als EINZIGER.

Curiosity killed the cat, but for curious and ambitious salespeople, it opens the door to success ???. By fostering data curiosity within your sales team and engaging them with open-ended questions, encourage suggestions, solicit feedback, and promote collaboration based on data insights. Motivate them to explore various data sources, tools, methods, and techniques to uncover new insights and ideas. This cultivation of data curiosity not only enhances creativity and innovation but also empowers your team to take ownership and initiative, driving transformative sales results ????

Focus on the process metrics! Possibly even re-imagine the metrics. Don’t focus on the result. Track contacts, calls, meetings, funnel conversions, and most importantly engage in the process with them. Show the team your commitment to the process. Then accentuate achieved “process” metrics. Sales is a rollercoaster so coaching them through the emotions of this process is helpful too. Or maybe sell a new product ??

Oft sind es nicht die einzelnenen Daten, sondern die Zusammenh?nge und Korrelationen zwischen verschiedenen Daten. Hier beginnt das eigentlich Spannende. Wer nur die KPI′s im Vertrieb misst und analysiert, betrachtet nur einen kleinen Bereich der Kundenbeziehung. Daten aus anderen Bereichen zum BNeispiel Kundenzufriedenheit, Kündigungsquoten usw. sind ebenfalls geeignet, um die eigene Entwicklung voran zu treiben. Wer mit den Daten gut "jonglieren" und diese nach Innen gut verkaufen kann, ist klar im Vorteil.
