It is known from the economic recession of this generation, one of the greatest challenges of all, no matter how you choose to define today's economic situation, everyone to understand one simple fact: it is time to change the game. The old rules and old ideas, must give way to new. In fact, this shift has participated in operations and in North America and around the world in all kinds of professional venues.

A sign of successful sales people everywhere is that they have an understanding of changing conditions on their keen and quickly adapt to new conditions. To adapt (and therefore, I am including making the right decision to make people a result, the behavior you are looking for) First, ask the right questions.

With this in mind, let us first consider three key issues. Every concession to allow for the time being we have before us a solution.

When will it end? The first problem is that many have been asking for months. . . When will this uncertainty? As a result, no long-distance travel passengers, winding roller coaster, many people want the output signal is being launched. However, as rooted in the impact on the economy are complex, and therefore the solution. In other words, this is not an easy ride so far, this is a wrong to assume it would be easier. Of course, things will be resolved as time goes on, but we must recognize that as we go forward, the economy and the market will look very different than before. But rather to assume or hope that things return to normal, expected that the new standards and new economy.

Smart sales staff who understand their own ears to the old land, the real exchange rate, announced his arrival was to redesign and rethink the way they sell so that they can meet the challenge, the new economy. We also need another era of our lives to know important facts: No one can be sure their future at the store know. As very few people predicted that natural gas prices will drop to next month after nearly 10 years, a record level, the future is always full of surprises. Therefore, it is important to have a smart, defensive posture to reduce risk, so that you can accept the new challenges, especially unexpected, speed and efficiency.

What has changed? This brings me to the second question, we must ask ourselves. What changes have taken place in this market? For the sales staff is not really important, dramatic changes in buying behavior could be restored to the way you do for your workplace. In the past, is being organized, a key executive who made the decision to purchase economic decision-making requirements. In many companies, said the authorities is being replaced by a committee. Officials must now be signed, from a few people choose to close a deal. For salespeople, this is a new challenge. You need to expand its network to ensure that your sales model, rather than narrowcast radio, to expand by each customer the widest possible range of organizations.

Another important change, I think, my client to confirm their own experience is that buyers are longer make a decision. Some of my customers sales cycle from an average of 30 days to 90 days. Some of them have up to 20% of the delays. The reason this happens is that customers need to ensure that they are taking the right decision. In difficult times, who can blame them? They want evidence to support the claim that your product or services. They want someone to show a good return on investment will be your choice sales than the competition. This means that your sales information, you must be adjusted accordingly.

There is also a more fundamental change I would like to share with you. The two companies merged business relationships. For the sales staff, it is increasingly difficult to find new customers, but the relationship has become valuable. Buyers are willing to continue with the supplier's trust. As I have said before, it all comes down to risks. As you need to position themselves in this new economy the right, buyers do the same. In recognition of this, you as a sales professional work, it can to the customer to buy from you is a good choice, one is to reduce or eliminate the risk.

How should I do to remain successful? How can the pinnacle of the sales force and successfully in this new economy? In this era, this is the real issue of 64,000 yuan, right? In fact, some tests in the field as part of the sales methods, these activities may include. In the coming weeks I will share with you point by point, one can be applied to your work and your sales team solution range.

The changing economic times is an opportunity to re-examine our methods and sales staff still insist on the method, good for our business and new ways to help others succeed. In the coming weeks, look forward to your participation, through this debate, to share with you my business from 10% of the sales staff in the group to observe the habits of all sizes based on the key solution. The results will make you better prepared to face future challenges, so it can adapt to this new economy is the shape before our eyes.
