How to Scale Your Sales Organization

Key Takeaways

  • Nail your messaging. Figure out what messages connect effectively with your audience and create a series of sales playbooks around them.
  • Recognize the different communications that happen in each of individual step of the sales process. Break down what it takes to get a stranger to a prospect, to an opportunity, to a qualified opportunity, to a sale.
  • Train your sales staff to be adaptive. Make sure they’re not coming off as scripted but rather that they internalize the vocabulary, statements, and positioning they need to make to move the sale through.
