Understanding Your Business:
10 Questions to Ask Yourself


The following article was written by Mark Hunter and is part of his philosophy surrounding sales development training.  Mark Hunter believes a successful sales development training program requires personal reflection to be able to uncover your true needs to fully develop as a salesperson.
  • What is the strategy to contact outlets who don't know anything about us?
  • Which one of the items we sell is the new customer more likely to buy first?
  • For those customers to which we've sold, what do they say is the main reason they bought from us?
  • If somebody doesn't buy from us, who do they buy from and why?
  • What are the major obstacles other companies similar to your face in growing their business?
  • What would it take to develop a referral program from our current customers?
  • Who are our competitors for each one of our products, and what are five significant reasons for each one as to why we're different?
  • How many sales calls is it taking to close a sale?
  • What are all of the objections / comments we've heard thus far from our customers, and how should we respond to them in the future?
  • How much more efficient do we have to be in our sales efforts to be profitable as a company?
