The Sales Acceleration Formula: Using Data, Technology, and Inbound Selling to go from £0 to £100 Million

Autor Mark Roberge
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 feb 2015

Complementar volumului Predictable Revenue de Aaron Ross, care se concentrează pe procesul de vânzări outbound, The Sales Acceleration Formula acoperă zona critică a scalării interne: construcția echipei și integrarea tehnologiei inbound. Recomandăm acest titlu oricărui lider care dorește să elimine hazardul din procesul de recrutare și performanță. Credem că abordarea lui Mark Roberge este revoluționară tocmai prin prisma background-ului său tehnic; ca absolvent de MIT cu profil de inginer, el aplică rigoarea matematică într-un domeniu dominat tradițional de intuiție. Spre deosebire de lucrări precum The mystery of sales increase, care promit rezultate cu efort minim, volumul de față impune o structură disciplinată. Reținem patru piloni fundamentali pe care orice organizație îi poate replica: formula de angajare pentru a găsi același profil de succes de fiecare dată, instruirea uniformă a personalului, un proces de management bazat pe responsabilitate și generarea constantă de lead-uri de calitate. În contextul operei sale, deși Mark Roberge a explorat anterior teme academice în Generation 1.5 in College Composition, această lucrare reprezintă chintesenta experienței sale executive de la HubSpot, transformând succesul operațional într-un ghid aplicabil. Cititorul va învăța cum să utilizeze datele pentru a prezice veniturile și cum să folosească tehnologia pentru a accelera ciclul de vânzare, fără a depinde de „talente” individuale greu de găsit. Este un manual de inginerie a sistemelor de vânzări, unde fiecare variabilă este măsurată și optimizată pentru o creștere scalabilă.

Descriere

Use data, technology, and inbound selling to build a remarkable team and accelerate sales The Sales Acceleration Formula provides a scalable, predictable approach to growing revenue and building a winning sales team. Everyone wants to build the next $100 million business and author Mark Roberge has actually done it using a unique methodology that he shares with his readers. As an MIT alum with an engineering background, Roberge challenged the conventional methods of scaling sales utilizing the metrics-driven, process-oriented lens through which he was trained to see the world.

In this book, he reveals his formulas for success. Readers will learn how to apply data, technology, and inbound selling to every aspect of accelerating sales, including hiring, training, managing, and generating demand. As SVP of Worldwide Sales and Services for software company HubSpot, Mark led hundreds of his employees to the acquisition and retention of the company's first 10,000 customers across more than 60 countries.

This book outlines his approach and provides an action plan for others to replicate his success, including the following key elements: * Hire the same successful salesperson every time The Sales Hiring Formula * Train every salesperson in the same manner The Sales Training Formula * Hold salespeople accountable to the same sales process The Sales Management Formula * Provide salespeople with the same quality and quantity of leads every month The Demand Generation Formula * Leverage technology to enable better buying for customers and faster selling for salespeople Business owners, sales executives, and investors are all looking to turn their brilliant ideas into the next $100 million revenue business. Often, the biggest challenge they face is the task of scaling sales. They crave a blueprint for success, but fail to find it because sales has traditionally been referred to as an art form, rather than a science.

You can't major in sales in college. Many people question whether sales can even be taught. Executives and entrepreneurs are often left feeling helpless and hopeless.

The Sales Acceleration Formula completely alters this paradigm. In today's digital world, in which every action is logged and masses of data sit at our fingertips, building a sales team no longer needs to be an art form. There is a process.

Sales can be predictable. A formula does exist.
