Sales productivity derives from complex interactions between many different factors around deals, conversion rates, and lifetime value. Sales productivity should be measured – and measured accurately. Here we look at the most important metrics you should use to measure your team’s sales productivity.
In sales, the competition to find and win over the most skillful sellers is as consequential a priority as any. The revenue-producing power of the most capable salespeople can fuel entire sales forces and companies to the next level. To locate, engage, and hire more of those hard-to-find game-changers, hiring managers and recruiters must be keenly perceptive and compete with other potential employers for top candidates’ attention.
ales managers are responsible for a host of intertwining sales and interpersonal roles. The balance of obligations varies in different organizations, changing markets, and evolving sales teams. PerceptionPredict strives to innovate strategies that help any sales manager excel at all of their many tasks, exceed their goals, and champion sales teams towards success.
Sales hiring continues to evolve thanks to new emerging technologies such as predictive analytics that can predict and quantify actual sales performance pre-hire. Historically, individual sales leaders had to rely on gut feel and intuition in order to understand what traits and attributes contributed to selling success on their teams. With modern tools now combining both new and well-proven technologies, sales leaders and recruiters can move away from generalized lists of what makes a successful salesperson to a hyper-localized, job and company-specific list of the attributes driving sales success. When combined with data insights, a company can now predict pre-hire exactly how someone will perform.
