What is a Selling System?
A selling system is the process by which you develop an opportunity from start to finish. The finish is generally considered the winning or losing of the deal.
What is a Process?
A process can be defined as a collection of activities or tasks that produce specific goals. A process orientated sales organization will use the process to break down any barriers that could prevent closing the deal.
A process gives each action it’s place in a specific order and these actions must be completed in a specific sequence in order for it to be effective.
Why have a Selling System?
– We have control of where we are in the process.
– Our results are predictable.
– We can qualify and uncover prospects that are not worthy of our time.
– We can identify what we are doing wrong.
– We can replicate what we are doing right.
– We can save time by keeping on track and focus efforts.
– We can recognize roadblocks or problems ahead of us.
– We can communicate with the team because we are using the same terminologies and processes.
– We know where we are at all times in the process.
