Poor Sales Pipeline Development?
That sucks, but here’s why and what you can do about it.
01 | Understanding the Problem
When it comes to converting opportunities, the root causes can be extensive. The primary reasons a deal doesn’t convert to a client is simply the salesperson didn’t uncover the buyer’s motivation for change. Why should that buyer by? This lack of understanding can stem from poor qualification criteria up front; it never was a qualified opportunity. The CRM or sales software isn’t being effectively used so deals slip through the cracks. The discovery process is really a feature dump where no real value is built to drive the deal forwarded. All of these root causes lead to opportunities not converting to customers.
02 | Diagnose the Root Cause
Implementing firm and consistent qualification criteria that is customer-centric (AKA, no BANT or MEDDIC. That’s you focused) will begin cleaning up the pipeline. Implementing a sales methodology will create consistency in how deals are discussed in both deal reviews and pipeline meetings. Structuring value-based conversations around the buyer’s business problems will outline a buyer’s motivation to change, what they are changing, how, when, and the value of change.
03 | Get Clear On The Impact
When you don’t have the pipeline, the number of deals, the size of deals…when the pipeline doesn’t support the goal, the impact should be obvious: you won’t make your goal. You won’t hit your growth target. You won’t be prime for acquisition in 3 years. You won’t raise that next round of funding. You won’t have the cash to reinvest. You just won’t.
