As we move into the halfway point of the second quarter are you on track with the goals that you have set for yourself for 2009? The plan that you have created to obtain these goals, is it working?
One of the issues we have as business owners and salespeople, we are not holding ourselves or our salespeople accountable to the goals that have been set. The first question you have to ask yourself, where am I now in terms of revenue, opportunities with prospects, and my forecast of future sales?
The second question you need to be asking yourself, is my plan working? The time that you spend either with groups and associations, is it yielding any business for yourself and your company? The behaviors that you have implemented, are they effective in getting your message out to the market place?
In reviewing all of your goals what you should start to see is a trend. Some groups and associations will yield you more results than others. Behaviors such as cold calling, networking events, and referrals will produce other outcomes. The key here is to be sure that you are spending your time wisely and if you aren’t getting results from a certain activity or behavior change it NOW!
