Establishing Sales based CRM defines the actions, tools and success measures to consistently address:

  • Revenue Attainment
  • Sales pipeline
  • New business versus renewals
  • Territory and Account Coverage
  • Sales Forecasting

Think about it. If you don’t have measurements or forecasting in place, how can you accurately predict success in your sales execution? Here’s a list of key questions for you to consider regarding your sales planning. Evaluate these questions to see if your team has clear guidance and direction on the following:

  • Monthly, Quarterly and Annual Targets
    Do reps consistently achieve their sales goals? If not, what are the key challenges in that inconsistency?
  • Key Accounts:
    Is there a methodology for determining how to manage and sell to key accounts?
  • Forecast Accuracy:
    How consistent and accurately does your company forecast revenue?
  • Pipeline Building:
    How has your company defined the key steps and support activities for helping reps build pipeline?
  • Territory Coverage:
    How well are your territories assigned and covered by your teams?

Remember, a predictable sales planning process improves territory and account coverage. The result is a better balance between new business and existing account development.
