Sales management
Turn the enquiries you already get into orders, with a team that follows up.

394 articles, written for owners and sales heads.

The three to read first.
How quickly should your team respond to a new lead?Within five minutes during working hours, one hour outside them. The business that reaches the buyer first sets the terms of the comparison.
Quotation follow up: how to get an answer without chasing or discountingQuotation follow up works when the next step is agreed before the quote is sent, each contact asks a specific question, and a price change is never the first move. Timings and messages you can copy.
Which sales KPIs should a business owner track?Eight numbers are enough: qualified enquiries, reply time, conversion, order value, sales cycle, pipeline coverage, repeat revenue and collection days.
