  • How Your Sales Team Can Double its Win Rate in a Recession

    • September 26, 2022

    • Category: Understanding the Sales Force

    A client was having great success using OMG (Objective Management Group) to assess their sales candidates and they assumed the sales candidate assessment was the only thing OMG offered.  When they learned that our core offering is evaluating their existing sales team they became excited about what that would mean for addressing their two biggest selling challenges.  

    One of their issues was their 20% win rate was much lower than they thought it should be and they believed their salespeople needed some refresher training on closing.  They also had a large number of opportunities stalled in the pipeline and they believed that training on more effective techniques to conduct follow up calls would help.

    How effective are salespeople when it comes to creating urgency?  I’m not talking about salespeople who create urgency by telling their prospects that if they don’t order today the price will go up or it won’t be available.  I’m talking about salespeople who create urgency by asking questions to uncover problems, the consequences and cost of which, create urgency.
