Preparation Leads to Productivity. Preparation before a sales call increases the chance of success by nearly 25%. So what keeps sellers from consistently preparing? Two main reasons: assumptions that they don¼t have time to prepare or they know the business so well they don¼t need to! Assuming we know everything can be dangerous. That¼s when it¼s easiest for the competition to get a foothold. Preparation doesn¼t really add time to a seller¼s day. Proper preparation transfers time and energy to proactive and focused sales calls to deliver more sales. Only 5 minutes with an easy preparation tool saves dozens of minutes – and sales – later!

The Art of Setting Goals. A target allows sellers to aim and fire at what matters – the bulls-eye! When sellers feel that sales goals are spread all over the target, that dispersion of effort and energy creates low productivity and stress. Successful sellers find that clear goals for work and life allow them focus on what is most important. Ready, Aim, Succeed is the art and science of identifying specific professional and personal goals with a plan to achieve them to hit the bulls-eye every time.
