Planning Of Sales

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Planning of sales allows:

To understand better interdependence of various kinds of activity;
To anticipate occurrence of problems;
In advance to think over measures on elimination of problems;
It is better to supervise working processes;
To see results of practical realisation of plans in comparison with planned targets.
Planning of sales is an activity in which we are engaged constantly. The planning essence consists in definition of what we wish to reach. We also begin with that position which exists at the moment of the planning beginning. We define everything that it is necessary to make to reach our purposes taking into account expected results. Planning of sales can be described as the activity consisting of two elements: actions and results.

Thus the sequence of actions is that:

Definition of results which it is necessary to reach in concrete terms in the future;
Definition of intermediate actions in their correct sequence for achievement of desirable results in demanded terms;
Definition of kinds of activity which should be planned at this time.
It is here again very important to set to yourself basic questions:
Where we now are?
What do we have?
The marketing analysis. The analysis of an existing product, the analysis of the market and consumers, the analysis of competitors and their tactics and work strategy in the market. The analysis of own possibilities and resources (what we have now?), and also that is necessary for us for achievement of objects in view.
What do we wish to reach?
Accurate definition of own requirements, possibilities and desires. Clear statement of mission, the purposes strategic and tactical. End result vision.
How to reach it? (Marketing plans, resource management, the financial analysis).
And only after gathering of the information which will give us full vision of a situation full or nearly so, we start working out of accurate plans of activity, in other words we create the detailed plan of action.

To make the plan it is necessary in such sequence:
To define the purposes proceeding from the situation which have developed for today, taking into account the tendency of last sales.
To find out problems which are necessary for solving in the course of achievement already objects in view.
To analyse possible restrictions: financial, political, economic, human.
To make the list of resources which we can use and distribute them proceeding from those problems and the purposes which are already defined.
To make the program of actions on achievement of objects in view.
If not to make plans on sales it is possible:

Not to achieve the object,
In vain to settle resources,
To get to a condition of uncertainty,
To feel disappointment and discomfort.

It is necessary to remember that the plan is developed for profit reception, and as for satisfaction of inquiries of clients concerning terms of deliveries, their reliability, quality, the price etc.

3 Variants Of Increase In Sales

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Entering ruthless struggle against falling of sales, businessmen usually are going to pay the big money for a victory. It is not necessary to hurry up. The attentive sight at business processes allows to find out quite “budgetary” tools making positive impact on the average check.

The first method of which I would like to remind the reader is cross-sell. The technics is simple. Have you sold something to the client? Immediately offer him something else and at a discount!

It is known: to sell something «in a makeweight» to the person who has just got at you the goods or service is much easier. After all all barriers have been already broken and the client is completely at your disposal. Certainly, this circumstance should use.

How? There is nothing easier. Without superfluous start to recommend to the clients together with the basic purchase something else from your products or services. And it is better to do it with the additional discount or — offering gifts and bonuses.
However experience shows: the considerable share of buyers (from 15 to 30 %) all the same will get additional products or services! Try to come into restaurant McDonald’s and to ask the one and only glass of “Coca”. “Coca” to you, naturally, with a smile will pour. But then will by all means offer a pie, a potato or a hamburger. Think, crying out from time to time the well-known appeal «Free cash desk!», sellers try to accompany a sparkling drink “appetizer” from deep liking to you personally? By no means!

Gifts and bonuses is separate and not less effective way to lift sale. Especially in the conditions of crisis when each buyer tries to find out in a stream of offers the most favourable (or at least psychologically comfortable) variant.

In many cases, except attempts to sell apartment, having offered in a gift a baseball cap, “fastening” of gifts and bonuses to current products and services allows to increase essentially their value in the opinion of clients. Especially if clients are “not trained”. And the main thing is that bonuses can not have any relation to the product.

Let’s play with the price.

One of rather popular nowadays (so, efficient) ways to show to the client all benefits of purchase — to designate not an overall cost, and daily expenses on using the goods or service for a long time. Offering a package of services with the limited period of validity (for example, for a year) it is possible to inform potential buyers: their expenses will make only 25 grivnas a day. The difference in perception of the price is obvious. In the same way it will be possible to “push” softly the client to a choice of more expensive variant. So, if the advanced version of your product costs 15 000 grivnas a year, it is enough to tell that at all riches of opening possibilities the price will increase «all by 16 grivnas a day». Pay attention, giving on request of a regulator the necessary information in small print which it would not be desirable to read at all, banks thus advance credit products.« In total for 343 grivnas a day … »Agree, 125 000 grivnas a year» look where more harmlessly.

And some general tips - today the web technologies give you a really unique chance to choose exactly what you require for the best price on the market. For example, search for free insurance quotes.

Some Facts About Sales

Friday, May 28th, 2010

The first 60 seconds of contact to the client very strongly influence result of the transaction. And about it you for certain repeatedly read, but thus never felt inflow of positive emotions from affected smiles and standard phrases «about weather» standard sellers. Researches have shown that the given fact is correct only for sales «on one call» or when the seller comes to you home. In all other cases the greatest influence on total result renders a stage «Studying/understanding of problems (requirements) of the client».

To become the good manager on sales it is necessary to be born with such talent.
Researches of 1940 and 1950th said that on sales extroverts achieve the best results. Researches of 1980 and 1990th do not find acknowledgement to this fact. What has changed? Anything, except stereotypes. Now in managers on sales take not only extroverts.

Research has shown that clients most of all appreciate in managers on sales yes sincerity, yes type of the person, and competence of the decision of their problems .
Objections of the customer is a sign on his interest in your production.
Actually any objection is the barrier which client builds before you in the course of sale. Are barriers necessary to you? If you in something are interested, you will “build” them?

The best managers on sales practically do not meet objections from clients because in advance prevent them. As a rule, objections arise when to the client offer in what he is not interested. For example, you assert that your equipment can work at temperature from-50 to +50 degrees on Celsius, satisfies to the European standards and it can be connected to a computer control system of the enterprise. On what the client minds that its all it interests (at it in shops temperature always about 20 degrees a little, the European standards into Ukraine is not planned to enter, and computers stand in accounts department), and you think that all these qualities for certain have found reflexion in the equipment price…

According to research it is possible more than to 50 % to reduce number of objections if at first to ask the client that for it is important in your production, and then to tell only about it.

At sale is never necessary to compare the goods from the goods of competitors.
«… And that suddenly the competitor will undertake retaliatory measures», – supporters of this thesis confirm and… Put in an uncomfortable position. After all the majority of clients want that to them have explained why the given goods are better than others. To praise the competitor it would not be desirable, and to praise like it would be impossible…

The best managers but to sales, according to research, never refuse to compare the goods to the goods of the competitor if that is wanted by the client. Moreover, they constantly attack competitors, speaking about advantages of the product! A key rule in this case is to tell why your goods are better, instead of than worse the goods of the competitor.

Today it is quite simple to find a good b2b connection - this is where a professional appointment setting can help you a lot.

And a final piece of advice - today the Internet technologies give you a truly unique chance to choose exactly what you require for the best price on the market. For example, search for free insurance quotes. You will be amazed how fast you can get set of products and prices for them. Strange, but most of the people don’t use this chance.
