A complex sales process is a roadmap you use to create consistency and uniformity in your complex selling relationships. There are three reasons why this matters:
- It builds confidence in sellers
- It builds confidence in the sales team/team members and
- It builds confidence in the buyers
A complex sales process is also one where your sales process has to be customized to address the long-term buying behavior of each individual client. In such scenarios, a standard sales process just won’t work. It is in place to solve these complex sales process problems.
The quality of your relationships with prospects and customers can’t be dictated by the quality of information that you have on them. Being able to create uniformity not only creates peace of mind but also creates better sales opportunities.
In this episode and post, we’ll explore how we can design a complex sales process that powerfully drives growth.
