Most business owners & sales managers obsess about the wrong thing. How full their pipeline is. Which is the wrong question.
I’ve spent decades in sales – both at the cliff face and as a sales manager. And I’ve coached hundreds of business owners responsible for bringing in sales.
And dare I say it, a fat pipeline or lots of leads with low conversion is just a busy road to nowhere.
Your focus should be on conversion. Winning more the business in front of you.
Let’s look at the maths.
A 45% win rate closes twice as many deals as one with 21%, without doubling the effort.
It means shorter cycles. Lower cost per sale. Less burnout. More momentum. And money in the bank!
And that all ultimately comes down to your sales conversation.
Forget the perfect pitch. Your job is to create clarity. Ask smarter questions.
Make the buyer feel like you get it better than anyone else.
When you do that, the conversation shifts from:
“Should we do this?”
To:
“How soon can we start?”
But when the conversation lacks direction? Doubt creeps in. And doubt leads straight back to the status quo. Doing nothing!
