What are the problems associated with marketing and sales?
The problems associated with marketing and sales are many, varying, and widespread. A few of the typical responses to marketing and sales problems include:
- To prospects, what you say sounds the same as your competitors
- You have nothing unique or compelling to offer that is different
- Prospects aren’t aware of you
- You aren’t aware of enough prospects
- You have a collection of sales individuals, not a sales team
- You have difficulty getting in to see your prospect
- You have a long sales cycle
- You have a low closing rate
- You have difficulty quoting as many jobs as you would like
- Quote turnaround is too long
- There are peaks and valleys of booking sales
