WHY CLOSING THE LOOP MATTERS

It is clear that buying behaviours are changing. Whichever set of data you take it is clear that buying decisions are increasingly digital. If half the buying journey is digital why isn’t half the selling journey? We cannot afford to be analogue salespeople in a digital buying world. We need to sell the way buyers are buying. The question is how?

It is also clear that sales activity is not always aligned to the buying cycle. Aligning selling to buying makes a huge difference. Social selling has a big part to play here and is often under used.

Vorsight analysis indicates that at any given time only 3% of prospects/customers are actively buying. 56% are not ready to buy at all but 40% are “poised to buy”. We need to be “present on the path to purchase”, building or maintaining credibility, relevance and relationships with the 56%; ensuring we are strongly positioned with the 40% as well as managing the deal with the 3%.

Changing the way we do things takes time, effort and repetition. One-off sessions can inform, stimulate and motivate but real payback from sustained change takes something different.

That’s why we have created Closing The Loop - A dynamic, personalised programme – maximised impact minimised downtime.
