The sale is a cumbersome process for all organizations and without the sales function, there is no business that exists in a company at all. The sales process becomes a difficult one due to its long cycle and time consumption. For example, the large bulk of the time of a sales manager is consumed in identifying an opportunity and its decision maker in the company, understanding their requirements, creating a customized pitch for them, following-up and further closure. Moreover, in many cases, the sales pitch or process may fail due to various reasons which result in sales managers losing precious time they spend on acquiring the prospect.

As per our research, the following are the top reasons why a business is lost from a prospective customer.

  1. Identification of opportunity: In such a hyper-competitive environment keeping apace with customers’ requirements becomes challenging for a sales team. How many times has one discovered that there was a business opportunity that exists with a client? In fact post it has been awarded to a competitor, sales managers discover that they could have provided the solution to the customer which was much better and economical, however, due to the lack of information the pitch was never made.
  2. Pitching to a non-decision maker & tracking the decision maker: Quite a long time is invested by sales teams in identifying and pitching to the ‘right’ decision maker. Since many organizations have a long hierarchical system, the process of who is the final decision maker becomes challenging. Quite later in due course of time, the sales team members discover that they were talking to the wrong individual and have lost a lot of precious time. In cases where the sales team has successfully identified the decision maker, tracking them and their requirements become a challenge for the sales team.
  3. Making the right pitch: If the above to challenges are addressed by a sales team member the other one that they encounter is making a pitch that will ensure the successful conversion of a business deal. Lack of information on what customers want is a common reason for such failure. Also often the sales team focuses more on features they provide to a customer than the value propositions and fail to address the benefit that customers will receive by doing business with the seller.
  4. Non-usage of available CRM data: This is another classic reason of sales failure. Nowadays the sales team faces the challenge of managing information overload. Various potential leads, references and data points which are used to identify and approach prospective customers. However, how does one use all this data? Which data is relevant and will produce desirable results for a business? These questions are left unanswered while sales teams keep continuing to gather data anticipating that it will be relevant.
