The Top Sales

Pipeline Challenges.

And ONE

Solution …

1

All over the world,

salespeople face the

same recurring

challenges.

2

Here, we put names on those

challenges so as to

understand them

better.

3

Challenge #1:

Who’s Playing Ball with Us?

4

Which are the true, income-producing Prospects we should be working with?

Challenge #2: What will

it take to move a deal or a prospect

forward?

5

Any deal is only as healthy, as the Next Step a Prospect has scheduled with you.

Challenge #3: Which

Pipeline Deals are Critical?

6

Some deals really do need urgent attention. How can they be spotted?

Challenge #4:

Which deals look “OK” but are likely to be stalled?

7

Over 85% of deals in the average sales pipeline, are stalled! But it’s where the money is!

Challenge #5: Great Deals (suddenly) go quiet. Then

what?

8

More deals suddenly go quiet than ever make it to closed. How do you stop this happening?

Challenge #6: Getting Visibility on

What’s Going to Happen

9

Accurate Sales Forecasting is possible. It’s actually not an art form!

Challenge #7: We know

what the buyer said.

Now, what did the buyer

mean?

10

In sales, No often sounds like Yes. Effective salespeople can spot No, without hearing the word!

Challenge #8: How can the manager

and the salesperson talk about the same deal in a

useful way?

11

Challenge #9:

Prospects & Deals go off

the radar and get

forgotten.

12

Yet, these prospects are often the most valuable and profitable.

Challenge #10: How do you solve the other 9 challenges – in one go? 13

The answer lies in having

a common language for

Sales

14

Sales needs a common

language that describes

what’s going on

15

What are the stages a deal or opportunity

has to pass through to get

to Closed?

16

Where is the buyer

in the buying

journey?

17

What’s the big picture view of the

health of the pipeline?

18

The Board SystemTM is a mindset that’s simple, impactful and accessible to all salespeople

20

The Ultimate

benefit of a Common Language

for Sales …

21

The salesperson and the direct manager are on the same page, solving relevant problems.

23

And it’s worth

mentioning that the tools are getting

better. At least 5 major CRMs can now handle visual pipeline systems such as the BoardTM.
