The Math is different for every business…
Let’s look at the numbers in terms of activity:

36 proposals requires 48 opportunities
48 prospects with needs identified requires 72 initial meetings
72 initial meetings requires 144 initial proactive conversations
Imagine the whole chain if this increased?
Today’s episode of Daily Burst of Inspiration reading “New Sales Simplified” by Mike Weinberg.

2) Referrals

Remember, you do not ONLY represent as a “salesperson” in your company.
You are also an ENTREPRENEUR!
A MARKETER!
How do you promote the business?
How do you strategize guerilla marketing?
How do you do direct marketing?

Remember if you know your numbers, then you would know what are losses you need to fill.
