Many B2B products & services require decent conversations between seller & buyer, so you have to engage in outbound prospecting & selling.

Oversight: Set A Big Important Outbound Sales Goal
Make the goal specific and time-bound e.g.
Land 6 new customers at not under X Value each in 6 months
![Page 12: How to Scale Sales Predictably using an Intelligent Outbound Approach](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051318/58ee78331a28ab6d468b45d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Oversight: Settle on a Visual Language that Creates a Predictable Sales Pipeline
Visual sales language tells you WHERE a lead or prospect SITS in both the selling & buying cycles.

13
Oversight: Nominate 1-2 Metrics for Checking Daily / Weekly Activity Progress
There is a daily and weekly set of activities that drive prospecting and business development. Don’t try to measure everything. Set metrics or benchmark numbers for 1-2 activity outcomes e.g.
We need to do 20 outbound emails per day to Sales Qualified Leads. We need to schedule 5 x 40 minute qualification meetings per week.

Oversight: Regular Review creates a Pace, a Cadence and a Rhythm
Effective sales management is more about checking in, than checking up.
Set a short Weekly team Review (max 30 mins).Use 1:1 reviews to tackle specific prospecting and selling challenges.

Tools: Invest in Data Sources to develop an Ideal Target Prospect List Investing in concentrated sources of data for your target markets always pays off. There are many sources, and an example is (the new and much improved) LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Observation: Many companies underinvest in data sourcing, updating and preparation. They leave the identification of Target Prospects to unstructured Google searches. You’ll move faster with a structured approach to data gathering.
