You might also need to look at how much time it takes to sell to customers and whether you have enough salespeople.
Cost The cost of everything in the plan needs to be included in a budget. If your finances are limited, your plan will need to take that into account.

Team And Resources It should also assess what resources you need. For example, you might need to think about what brochures you need, and whether they need to be available for distribution. You might also need to look at how much time it takes to sell to customers and whether you have enough salespeople.
Cost The cost of everything in the plan needs to be included in a budget. If your finances are limited, your plan will need to take that into account. Don’t spread your marketing activities too thinly – it is better to concentrate your resources to make the most of your budget. You may also want to link your marketing budget to your sales forecast.
Control As well as setting out the schedule, the plan needs to say how it will be controlled. You need an individual who takes responsibility for pushing things along. A good schedule and budget should make it easy to monitor progress. When things fall behind schedule, or costs overrun, you need to be ready to do something about it and to adapt your plan accordingly.

SALES METHODOLOGIES

Attention – Get the other person’s interest Interest – Spark their curiosity Desire – Create the need Action – Get them to commit to something
Need satisfaction
The need satisfaction technique is a question and answer technique to make the client to recognise the need for your offering. This then leads to the client agreeing that they have a need to be fulfilled, which leads to you showing them how your offer can satisfy their needs. This method is based on a win-win approach for both the sales person and the client.
Depth Theory
Depth Theory is when a creation of trust occurs between the buyer and seller. The seller uses expertise in their product, service or industry to create trust between themselves and the buyer. The client will see the salesperson as an expert in that area and will trust them to solve the issues that they have.
Step process

B2B SALES STRATEGIES
Tags: Sales, b2b, Sales Strategies, B2B Sales
Sales are often very difficult to obtain in a business, especially in markets where the customer need a high level of involvement to purchase the product. Every business needs a deliberate and thought out strategy for sales to be in place in order to be successful. I was talking to a small business owner the other day who was wondering why they were not achieving the results they thought they could. After our discussion it was evident that they had no sales strategy and that this was hurting their business.
B2B sales strategy
A B2B sales strategy is a plan or set of actions that a business undertakes in order to sell more of their product or service. Strategies identify who your target market is, how you will reach them and ultimately how you will sell your product or service to them. A sales strategy will help your business achieve an increase in the sales rate per new contact as well as a decrease in time it takes to make a sale. This is especially important in high consideration, high value ($500+) transactions, in a business to business setting.
There is no one sales strategy that is perfect for every business. It may also take some trial and error to determine which strategy is best for your business. A strategy should however include:
Identifying Your Target Market
It is important to identify your target market to better understand your customer. Knowing the target market will allow you to tailor communications to suit your customers. It will also allow you to understand what will get the prospects to turn into customers. Knowing this is essential to increase sales rate per new contact as well as decrease the time it takes to make a sale.
Selecting a Sales Methodology
There are many different sales methodologies that you could select from. In a B2B setting, it is important to choose one that will best help you meet the needs of your target market. It may take some trial and error to find the right one for your business. It is important to allow for personality to show through, as building trust in high value transactions is key to making the sale. Almost all transactions in the B2B setting require an ongoing relationship after the sale is made. It is essential to build these relationships before the sale is made as trust and credibility is key to success.
Knowing Your Competition
It is essential to know what kind of products or services your competition is producing. Being able to show how your product better suits the needs of the prospect is essential to making a sale. This will also give the impression that your sales people are experts in the field, which builds credibility and trust between your business and the prospects.
Perform Research
Performing research can help you get a better understanding of your customers, competitors, and the market in general. This will show you the key trigger points for the customer and from where they gather information. Performing research can help every business better reach their sales goals.
Analysing Sales Data
Analysing data is also important as you should be measuring KPI’s to see how your sales strategy is performing. If for some reason the sales strategy is not working, it may be beneficial to try a different strategy. Don’t rush into this though, as sometimes it can take time for the benefits of a strategy to start to show on KPI’s. Analysing sales data also allows you to see which sales people are doing well and who needs more training.
Determining and implementing a sales strategy will give your business a clear plan of how to undertake sales. A good strategy will show an increase in sales rate per new contact and a decrease in the time it takes to make a sale. Both of these aspects will greatly improve the bottom line of your business.

Every business needs a deliberate and thought out strategy for sales to be in place in order to be successful. I was talking to a small business owner the other day who was wondering why they were not achieving the results they thought they could. After our discussion it was evident that they had no sales strategy and that this was hurting their business.
B2B sales strategy
A B2B sales strategy is a plan or set of actions that a business undertakes in order to sell more of their product or service. Strategies identify who your target market is, how you will reach them and ultimately how you will sell your product or service to them. A sales strategy will help your business achieve an increase in the sales rate per new contact as well as a decrease in time it takes to make a sale. This is especially important in high consideration, high value ($500+) transactions, in a business to business setting.
There is no one sales strategy that is perfect for every business. It may also take some trial and error to determine which strategy is best for your business. A strategy should however include:
Identifying Your Target Market
It is important to identify your target market to better understand your customer. Knowing the target market will allow you to tailor communications to suit your customers. It will also allow you to understand what will get the prospects to turn into customers. Knowing this is essential to increase sales rate per new contact as well as decrease the time it takes to make a sale.
Selecting a Sales Methodology
There are many different sales methodologies that you could select from. In a B2B setting, it is important to choose one that will best help you meet the needs of your target market. It may take some trial and error to find the right one for your business. It is important to allow for personality to show through, as building trust in high value transactions is key to making the sale. Almost all transactions in the B2B setting require an ongoing relationship after the sale is made. It is essential to build these relationships before the sale is made as trust and credibility is key to success.
Knowing Your Competition
It is essential to know what kind of products or services your competition is producing. Being able to show how your product better suits the needs of the prospect is essential to making a sale. This will also give the impression that your sales people are experts in the field, which builds credibility and trust between your business and the prospects.
Perform Research
Performing research can help you get a better understanding of your customers, competitors, and the market in general. This will show you the key trigger points for the customer and from where they gather information. Performing research can help every business better reach their sales goals.
Analysing Sales Data
Analysing data is also important as you should be measuring KPI’s to see how your sales strategy is performing. If for some reason the sales strategy is not working, it may be beneficial to try a different strategy. Don’t rush into this though, as sometimes it can take time for the benefits of a strategy to start to show on KPI’s. Analysing sales data also allows you to see which sales people are doing well and who needs more training.
Determining and implementing a sales strategy will give your business a clear plan of how to undertake sales. A good strategy will show an increase in sales rate per new contact and a decrease in the time it takes to make a sale. Both of these aspects will greatly improve the bottom line of your business.

It will also allow you to understand what will get the prospects to turn into customers. Knowing this is essential to increase sales rate per new contact as well as decrease the time it takes to make a sale.
Selecting a Sales Methodology
There are many different sales methodologies that you could select from. In a B2B setting, it is important to choose one that will best help you meet the needs of your target market. It may take some trial and error to find the right one for your business. It is important to allow for personality to show through, as building trust in high value transactions is key to making the sale. Almost all transactions in the B2B setting require an ongoing relationship after the sale is made. It is essential to build these relationships before the sale is made as trust and credibility is key to success.
Knowing Your Competition
It is essential to know what kind of products or services your competition is producing. Being able to show how your product better suits the needs of the prospect is essential to making a sale. This will also give the impression that your sales people are experts in the field, which builds credibility and trust between your business and the prospects.
Perform Research
Performing research can help you get a better understanding of your customers, competitors, and the market in general. This will show you the key trigger points for the customer and from where they gather information. Performing research can help every business better reach their sales goals.
Analysing Sales Data
Analysing data is also important as you should be measuring KPI’s to see how your sales strategy is performing. If for some reason the sales strategy is not working, it may be beneficial to try a different strategy. Don’t rush into this though, as sometimes it can take time for the benefits of a strategy to start to show on KPI’s. Analysing sales data also allows you to see which sales people are doing well and who needs more training.
Determining and implementing a sales strategy will give your business a clear plan of how to undertake sales. A good strategy will show an increase in sales rate per new contact and a decrease in the time it takes to make a sale. Both of these aspects will greatly improve the bottom line of your business.

SALES METHODOLOGIES
Personal selling is a promotional method in which one party uses skills and techniques for building personal relationships with another party that results in both parties obtaining value. Personal selling occurs whenever an individual salesperson sells a product, service or solution to a client.
Salesmethods
There are many different sales methods that can be used to complete a sale and form the required relationships. Determining which sales method is more effective depends on what you are selling, who you are selling to and when you are selling it.
AIDA Method
AIDA is an acronym that stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. This is a method that looks at the steps a client will undertake from when they first becomes aware of the product or service, to when they are making a purchase decision.
Attention – Get the other person’s interest Interest – Spark their curiosity Desire – Create the need Action – Get them to commit to something
Need satisfaction
The need satisfaction technique is a question and answer technique to make the client to recognise the need for your offering. This then leads to the client agreeing that they have a need to be fulfilled, which leads to you showing them how your offer can satisfy their needs. This method is based on a win-win approach for both the sales person and the client.
Depth Theory
Depth Theory is when a creation of trust occurs between the buyer and seller. The seller uses expertise in their product, service or industry to create trust between themselves and the buyer. The client will see the salesperson as an expert in that area and will trust them to solve the issues that they have.
Step process
The 7 step process is a plan of action that starts at the planning and preparation to make the sale and leads to after sale follow ups. The 7 steps are: 1. Planning and preparation 2. Introduction or opening 3. Questioning 4. Presentation 5. Overcoming objections/negotiating 6. Closing 7. After-sales follow-up

Behavioural segmentation: purchasing patterns, loyalty status
Implementing a selling Strategy
Implementing a Marketing Strategy Execution Plan, known to Fulcrum and our clients as a “Sprint Plan” is the most effective way to prevent this highway-less journey , selling agency . A Marketing Strategy is a set of strategic goal-focused plans for a certain period of time.
selling Strategy and Planning
Implement your marketing plan
Your marketing plan must do more than just say what you want to happen. It must describe each step required to make sure that it happens.
Schedule The plan should include a schedule of key tasks. This sets out what will be done, and by when. Refer to the schedule as often as possible to avoid losing sight of your objectives under the daily workload.
Team And Resources It should also assess what resources you need. For example, you might need to think about what brochures you need, and whether they need to be available for distribution. You might also need to look at how much time it takes to sell to customers and whether you have enough salespeople.
Cost The cost of everything in the plan needs to be included in a budget. If your finances are limited, your plan will need to take that into account. Don’t spread your marketing activities too thinly – it is better to concentrate your resources to make the most of your budget. You may also want to link your marketing budget to your sales forecast.
Control As well as setting out the schedule, the plan needs to say how it will be controlled. You need an individual who takes responsibility for pushing things along. A good schedule and budget should make it easy to monitor progress. When things fall behind schedule, or costs overrun, you need to be ready to do something about it and to adapt your plan accordingly.
Everyone likes to talk about creating a marketing plan. It’s the fun part of marketing, the creative aspect of your planning process and selling agency . But strategy without execution won’t help your business succeed. In fact, marketing execution is how you achieve results.

Decide how to market your product or service to potential customers by developing a marketing strategy that positions your product to particular customers
Write a marketing execution plan
How to identify your objectives and write a plan that will help your marketing generate sales, including tactics and objectives
Marketing on a tight budget
How to get the most out of a small or limited marketing budget using cost-effective marketing methods such as Public Relations and online marketing
face to face field marketing is also called personal selling or door to door marketing, customers are met directly in order to sell their products, using this method of field marketing.

When it comes to guerrilla marketing the gloves are off. They are usually low budget campaigns but with the right imagination and ideas they offer up some unprecedented results
Much like product demonstrations these campaigns have brand reps or ambassadors at the center of them. The difference is it’s more about the selling of the product
Auditing takes the reps out off the front line and away from the consumer. Auditing teams are used by marketers to monitor traditional marketing strategies that they put in place across retail.
Nothing beats the reality that one gets when you can interact with potential clients face to face physically moving from door to door within a community or household to household,
As mentioned already, demo days are a popular tool of field marketing. These campaigns can stretch from as little as one week to 6 months however some are continuous and full time.
Picture a calm, peaceful, and beautiful locale, with all the necessary facilities located short distances away thats Borivali West in a nutshell. Containing an abundance of greenery, including a number of gardens and parks, and plenty of necessary infrastructure, Borivali West is one of the most sought-after premium locality in north-west Mumbai.
Borivali West has excellent connectivity, one of the key reasons why people buy property in the locality. Plus, almost everything one needs in a neighbourhood is available here, schools, colleges, hospitals, banks, ATMs and grocery stores.
For the religious and the spiritual, the locality has several places of worship including Gurudwara, Saibaba Mandir and Jain Temple. Add to this mix, there are a number of recreational spaces like Veer Savarkar Udyan, Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmibai Joggers Park and Jeevan Bima Nagar Garden.
Connectivity and Transit Points
Connectivity is the highlight of Borivali West. SV Road and Western Express Highway are the pillars of road connectivity in the locality. Locally, Link Road and Lokmanya Tilak Road handle the everyday traffic. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are the most common modes of travelling by road. The Borivali Railway Station and Kandivali Railway Station boost Borivali Wests rail connectivity. The former is a major railway station for daily commuters. Another major rail transit point, Thane Railway Station is located just 15 km from here. The distance to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and Mumbai Central Railway Station is around 20 km and 49 km respectively. Borivali is quite lucky when it comes to public bus transport. Its connected by four of the five bus services operating in Mumbai, namely Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT), Thane Municipal Transport (TMT), and Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Transport (MBMT). Using any of these bus services is a cheap way to travel between localities. The major bus stops in the locality are Ganesh Mandir, Babhai Naka, Datta Mandir, and Suvarna Hospital.
Major Landmarks
Jeevan Bima Nagar Garden Don Bosco High School Apex Hospital Veer Savarkar Udayan Rani Ki Jhansi Park
Factors for Growth in the Past
Borivali West has had a steep growth curve. Its fortunes changed drastically in the past after the areas authorities started to pay attention to developing the areas connectivity infrastructure. The roads began to be developed and the localitys accessibility infrastructure was enhanced. Eventually, Borivali West became easily accessible to the important business centres of Mumbai, and became a preferred real estate destination for both end users and investors. Not just physical infrastructure, Borivali West has also enjoyed the presence of excellent social infrastructure. Swami Vivekanand International School, Rustomjee International School, Ajmera Global School, St. Francis Institute of Management & Research, and Aditya Institute of Management Studies & Research are among the most reputed schools and colleges in Borivali West. Om Sai Specialty Hospital and Apex Hospital are the premier hospitals in the area. Add the umpteen entertainment and food joints to this mix and one starts to realize the depth of this locality.
Major Challenges
Borivali Wests proximity to the railway station, which is a boon to the localitys residents, is a cause of annoyance too. Thats because the place is always crowded and noisy. Another challenge for Borivali West is heavy traffic. Additionally, there are many traffic signals that line up on the roads which cause slow moving traffic.
Factors for Growth in the Future
Generally called a suburb, Borivali West is no longer being perceived as one today. Its instead an accomplished central locality with all kinds of facilities easily accessible. The Link Road connects the locality to the highway and makes South Mumbai accessible. Connectivity and road infrastructure in the locality are continuously improving, pushing growth further up.
Affordability is also an attractive feature of the locality. The availability of mid to high-luxury apartments in a premium locality at affordable prices is a big demand magnet for both residential and commercial property. Many popular builders such as Wadhwa Developers, Sheth Developers, and Kanakia Group, are launching a variety of affordable apartment projects in Borivali West enriched with all the necessary amenities. In addition, people already owning a home elsewhere in Mumbai prefer Borivali East for their second home.
Upcoming infrastructure projects like a metro station and monorail line will further enhance connectivity in the region, and significantly influence Borivali Wests real estate landscape.

Auditing takes the reps out off the front line and away from the consumer. Auditing teams are used by marketers to monitor traditional marketing strategies that they put in place across retail.
Nothing beats the reality that one gets when you can interact with potential clients face to face physically moving from door to door within a community or household to household,
As mentioned already, demo days are a popular tool of field marketing. These campaigns can stretch from as little as one week to 6 months however some are continuous and full time.
