Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Driving in this morning I heard the well-known classic sung by Otis Redding “Sittin’ on the doc of the bay”, the perfect song that makes you feel as calm as a summer’s breeze. I noticed the lyrics “watching’ the ships roll in and then watchin’ them roll away again” and was struck how that pertains to being a small or medium size business and being presented with opportunities and often just “watching” it come and go.

Just imagine how truly calming it would be if there was a way you could effortlessly manage your opportunities? We have spent years developing processes that allow you to engage with a prospective client and immediately implement a strategic sales process that guide you and your team from beginning to end, not to mention facilitating recurring opportunities….all automated. 

The peace of mind that this part of your business is taken care off, makes the possibility to be “just sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin time” a reality that can and should happen more often.

Thanks Otis! …..(whistling)

I don't think sales needs more automated processes. They need structure but not automation.

What a tragedy it was that we lost Otis. By all accounts he was one of the nicest people in the business during a difficult yet groundbresking time. One of my favourite artists.

This aspect of a business is so under estimated and providing a solution to sales process implementation is so necessary!
