[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Are you a CEO or VP of Sales looking at your 2012 forecast and wondering how you’ll get there?
If so, you are not alone – particularly if new business development has consistently taken a back seat to the seemingly more urgent functions that go hand in hand with running a business and left your pipeline all but non-existent. This is a scenario we see often and is the reason most of our clients hire us.
We call it a cold start.
Cold start
A cold start goes beyond anemic new sales and a weak pipeline of opportunities (these should be looked on as the symptoms, not the problem) to include a general lack of structure, process and training. When you really analyze the business processes and identify the “constraints” that are holding the organization back, the root cause for the sluggish sales lies with a lack of commitment to maintaining the resources and capabilities necessary to grow.
Optimally, you should be looking at ways to sustain and build your business through a diversified approach that includes growing and supporting existing clients, while at the same time building new client relationships. Remember. No matter how good your client relationships are, attritition is a fact of life. There are many reasons clients leave, and only so many of those you have control over. Without that pipeline of new opportunities, a “flat” year can go bad fast.
