2009 Achievements.
Left previous job and took a massive leap forward.
New business established and full steam ahead! Approach Sales Services provide a free-lance sales service across the board within all stages of the sales process. Providing consultancy to established sales teams to ensure they are efficient and working to specific targets. Establishing new sales teams from chalkboard stage up to fully performing teams. Providing interim support to sales departments to hit targets and raise awareness. Marketing campaign follow up, event awareness etc. Prospecting for new and established businesses, developing relationships with prospective clients on behalf of companies across all industries.
Things to do differently in 2010. The main change to be made now things are in full flow would be to look at the back office processes which we are making immense headway with. I have appointed a virtual PA to take care of paperwork, admin, invoicing etc. T&C’s were something to be addressed which have now been sourced. I ventured into the High Growth program which has given me so much more insight into the world of business and changes came out of the last session which are now in place.
What I would like to achieve in 2010? It’s done! I wanted my dream client which would be conveniently located, doing the work I enjoy doing the most (prospecting), paying a certain figure in line with my business plan, working with lovely, genuine, professional people (there are a great deal of sales people in the world that don’t have the same integrity and ethos that I have). All boxes ticked and a contract won that takes Approach into 2011.
I will say at this point that for any new business the first thing you need to make sure you have before accountants, chamber memberships, book-keepers etc is a decent support network. Without people in my world like Amanda at Koogar and many others I would have failed before I even began. I think the turn of the year needs to be a time that folks acknowledge other people in their lives that have impacted on the hows, whys and wherefores... Thanks Amanda

There is no failing in your my dear!
ReplyDeleteYou have worked hard for your business. I'm proud of you and have you as a close friend!
We have helped each other along the way and I think without people working together, helping out when its needed, going for lunch and catching up, talking ideas through with others to get opinions and just general support... that's where success comes in.
Well done!
