The X Factor In Sales Success
By Steve Martinez
Do
you know how to apply the power of the X factor? The X factor in
sales is simple multiplication of events and sales strategies that lead
to sales. If business or salespeople apply this simple equation, they
are released from the limits of time and energy.
The power of X in mathematics takes advantage of multiplication. In
computers, we use the X to signify the multiplication of something. In
sales, we can apply the same power when we multiply our efforts instead
of simply adding single efforts over and over again. The difference
between addition and multiplication is the difference between success
and mediocre results. Successful sales professionals apply the power of
multiplication, X instead of + or addition.
The Additional Sales Challenge
If you are asking yourself, why all businesses or salespeople don’t
apply the principle of multiplication, it is a good question. The
challenge of this question lies with the way salespeople are taught to
sell. Most salespeople are taught to perform one task at a time and
follow the best practices over an over again. The teaching of more calls
on more contacts is the principle of addition, not multiplication.
Making more calls will certainly improve sales and make more time for
selling. However, there is a better way to improve sales.
Sales Automation Multiplies Success Results
We are taught in school that man learned how to use tools and become
greater than all the beasts of the planet. The same principles are true
in sales if we apply power tools to multiply our efforts in sales. The
advancements in technology allow us to reach more people and businesses
by multiplying our efforts. We can adopt sales strategies such as email
marketing, pod casting, mailing and automated sales systems that
multiply our sales efforts.
One of the greatest multiplication sales strategies is referral based
marketing. Referrals multiply our sales efforts. A referral is like
multiplying yourself. Instead of making sales calls ourselves, we can
employ the power of multiplication from our customers.
If you are not adopting the X factor in sales, you are limiting your
sales success to only your efforts. Expand your horizon in sales and use
the power of X.
