Set Your Destination

Here’s the thing about a journey: If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll have a heck of a time trying to get there. So now is the time to choose a destination!

Choose the Right Goals

Many mobile projects fail because organizations don’t take the time to align their mobile strategy with actual business objectives.

Be Specific

Every organization has business goals. Maybe your company wants to reduce costs or improve employee productivity or increase revenue. Those are admirable goals, but they’re pretty broad. For example, there are lots of ways to increase revenue.

Define Your Objectives

It probably goes without saying that you need access to your company’s overall business strategy in order to define objectives. That’s why your mobile vision is typically formulated by a mobile steering group: a small team of key stakeholders who are responsible for business outcomes and understand the holistic customer and employee experience.

Keep Mobility in Mind

Whether your goals are related to revenue gains or process improvements, ask yourself this question: Where can mobility have the greatest impact?

Visualize Success

After defining objectives and goals, start thinking about how to measure the results of your mobile initiatives. What does success look like? What metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs) will you use?

Go Beyond Quota with KPIs

The foundation of a strong sales team is made up of clearly defined key performance indicators (KPIs). KPIs are the “what” and “how much” which guide salespeople's behavior. For example, quota is how much money a sales rep is expected to bring into a company in a given year.

Find the Right Metrics

Let’s take a look at two sales reps. They’re currently tasked to send out 100 emails and both have different approaches. The first sends exactly 100 highly targeted emails (personalized, speaking to their customers’ specific needs)—this takes a few days but they’re able to set up five meetings because of this effort.

Make Activity and Outcome Metrics Work Together

When done right, the activity goals you set provide a clear path to achieve the outcomes, which are tied to revenue generation.

Try This Exercise

For your company, let’s say emails sent and meetings set are the activities that help close deals and generate revenue. How much revenue should a single sales rep be responsible for in a given month if the following is true?

If Change Is Needed, Be Intentional

While it can be indicative of poor planning if a sales team hits their annual goal in the second quarter (Q2), you do want the team to have that feeling of goal attainment and a job well done. So, even though you may be reevaluating these measures every quarter, it pays to be intentional with any changes you’re making to these KPIs.

Don’T Waste A Single Day

  • Jobs in sales are great, aren’t they? But as we all know, they come with quotas that return at the end of each quarter or month.

Your sales reps should start each selling day by setting a daily goal and—this is the really important part—commi…

Show Your Reps The Right Opportunities to Focus on
