Sales Process Evaluation
Every organization has a sales process. Sales process evaluation reviews sales from all angles and particularly at the transaction level with the customer.

New Product Introduction

Additionally, sales can accomplish results more effectively than most marketing campaigns, as well as, adding the personal touch to the process necessary to establish and retain the competitive edge.

A strategy is critical to the sales process. Individuals must carry out the strategy and managers must be able to read and communicate progress along the way. The key to success during the implementation process is application of a model that can be used for planning, selling, and evaluation and is built on measurable elements.
