If your business is like thousands across North America, then you face unprecedented challenges to growing new sales. Your customers are slow to act. Prospects are afraid to spend money. And your sales team is struggling to get close to hitting the quota you set for them.
So what do you do?
You might be thinking that you should just “wait it out”. But that just isn’t always possible. And it could cost you your business.
It’s not easy to double your sales. It’s not something that you can “luck out” or “hope to happen”. You need to make a decision to try (one or all of theses ideas) and then be deliberate about pushing through the tough times. All of them work. And none of them work. It just depends on how hard you work.
If you’re ready to work, each of these ideas will get you pointed in the right direction.
