Understand, that the Number One Factor in differentiating your products and services, are your sales people. Stop hiring people who are commodities. Sales People who are common. Sales People who do not stand out. Sales People who cannot even differentiate themselves, nonetheless your products or services. Hire, train, coach, support and most of all solicit the feedback of people who differentiate themselves and have attitude. These are the people who are on the front lines for your firm. They are the people subjected on a day to day basis to objections and information regarding your competition. Afterall you have placed your financial future in the hands of these people, why not keep them engaged and act on their opinions.

2) Sales and Growth Strategy (35 percent of your time) Do you have in place a MAP? A Measurable Assistance Plan? If you Expect a Result, then Inspect the Process!

Without a Sales Process you have placed your future into the hands of your people; good people who utilize a "wing it" approach. CEOs of high-growth companies spend roughly a third of their time thinking about business strategy, making adjustments, taking calculated risks, and communicating these decisions throughout the organization.

3) Cash (15 percent of your time) A profitable Business Model in its most basic definition is the process by which a company converts a client’s problem, pain or fear into your profit. Your clients, and or potential clients have a need, generally based on a problem, pain or fear. Remember this key factor. Your client does not buy into your products, services or sales people. They buy out of the problem, pain or fear, making it critical that your sales people have the right attitude and skill to extract these emotions and the current and future ramifications of not addressing the matter. Once you have taken ownership of this fact, you will then be able to sell on real value, reducing price reductions, de-commoditize your business and eliminate sales lost to more effective competitors.

Two Key Cash Factors that can immediately improve your Bottom line

1) Focus on how much business you currently lose now to competition, and why.

2) Focus on how every dollar you lose to price reductions comes directly out of your profit margin, and how to resolve this.
