			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Successful business leaders all have in common the knowledge that to truly understand how to grow their businesses, they need to take cues from their customers, rather than relying solely on internal business development. As a window into what their customers want and how they are best accessed and converted, thoughtful organization and analysis of data is unrivaled. But project management, sales tracking, and regular <a href="http://www.acquirent.com">statistical sales</a> reporting requires a commitment of capital and a commitment to use data to grow the business so that the expense is justified.</p>
<p>Businesses that pursue outsourced sales relationships will benefit from the inclusion of regular sales reports that track, statistically, the performance of various campaigns and tactics, from which sales managers and business development executives can make decisions about how to improve sales. Statistical analysis provides the perfect platform from which to launch incentive programs that will motivate salespeople &#8211; for instance, running contests for highest conversion rate, highest sales, quickest conversion, etc, that improve the quality of the overall sales force. Data can also offer insight into who is under-performing and even offer insights into <em>why</em> that may be &#8211; too little contact with the client? too much?</p>
<p>Statistical sales data provides an objective picture of the success of a sales program and can be obtained on an outsourced basis for in-house sales programs. And as a measure of outsourced sales success, regular reporting should always be included by an outsourced sales company in their package of services, so that client businesses can see just what they are getting for the money they pay. (And any sales outsourcing companies that do not or refuse to offer this should be avoided entirely and are not to be trusted.)</p>
<p>Without a methodology for organizing and interpreting sales data, it is extremely difficult for companies to realize their full sales potential because they are missing out on the story told by their customers through historical sales data. Which salespeople should be earning what? What types of clients are the most responsive to which individuals and which approaches? Do longer courtships of clients lead to higher or lower rates of conversion? These are all questions that can answered by sales statistics &#8211; and those answers are crucial to developing a successful sales program, whether it is in-house or outsourced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My company had become completely disorganized. My sales team was so focused on going to trade shows and getting out and promoting our products that they were forgetting to take the time to complete some relatively simple tasks. By the time I realized what was occurring, it had become too late. We were entirely overwhelmed by information that had not been properly filed or processed. My sales department had turned into a nightmare, and to make matters worse, I was being audited.</p>
<p>While their enthusiasm over going out and selling our products was great, I needed the administrative side of sales taken care of as well. I needed weekly reports outlining our statistical sales data. I needed statistical sales forecasting reports so I could contact our manufacturing department with concrete numbers for production. I also needed these statistical sales reports to show to the auditors but it was impossible to generate any type of report when the original information hadn’t even been entered into the computer.</p>
<p>Many of sales reps were weeks behind in even entering their sales into our computer system. Customers were calling to complain that they had not received what they had ordered. I was at my wits end. My sales team had completely failed to complete the administrative end of the work, which was basically just as important as the selling aspect of their job.</p>
<p>A friend recommended to me that I outsource some of my sales. I was unfamiliar with this process but I decided to look into it further. I was very surprised to find out that there were companies that would send in a highly trained team of sales professionals to take over your entire sales department. This was exactly what I needed to get back on track.</p>
<p>Within a few short months I had an entirely new sales team come in. They organized all of my information and brought my sales department up to speed with the rest of the company. The new sales team spent an abundance of time promoting my products and actively seeking out new markets, but they also took the time to properly enter and file all new orders and paperwork. There was a team leader that was constantly providing me with the reports that I needed and making sure that the sales team was on task. If I had not outsourced my sales team, my company would have surely been run right into the ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately, I am not incredibly technologically savvy so I knew that I would need <a href="http://www.acquirent.com/sales_belief.html">sales help</a> when I went out to buy a computer. We did not have computers when I was in school and I was very unfamiliar with all of the different types of options that were available. My children were lucky enough to grow up during a time where technology was constantly being improved upon. They had MP3 players, digital cameras, laptops and every other gadget that was available. I wasn’t all that interested in any of these gadgets until I saw my daughter editing and printing photos from her camera on her computer. She was printing them onto iron-on paper and making a t-shirt from a photo of her daughter that she had taken an hour ago. I was pretty impressed.</p>
<p>I knew how to use a computer, I was on one all day at work. I used the computer to type documents and maintain files for my boss and to correspond through email. I had never bought a home computer for myself before; I was unaware of all the functions that I could perform on it. My kids had bought me a digital camera for Christmas and I always took it to a store to have the pictures printed out. I had no idea that I could do this from my own home. And I didn’t know that I was able to crop, rotate or edit these pictures.</p>
<p>I decided to visit a local electronics retailer and buy a computer. I needed a lot of sales help from some computer experts that could point me to the computer that would be perfect for me. The customer service representative was very patient and knowledgeable about the different computers. He showed me which one would be best to use for uploading and editing pictures and which printer could perform all of the functions that I wanted.</p>
<p>The sales help that I received made buying a computer easier than I thought that it would be. I had no idea that there were so many things that I could do on a computer. I could make my own greeting cards and even use my personal photos on them!</p>
<p>The electronics store even offered the service of having one of their skilled technicians come to my house and install the computer and show me its functions. I was very excited.</p>
