Meeting Sales Quotas in a Changing Society

Breakdown:

Today, salespeople face greater challenges in the field than ever before. In fact, according to a study carried out by the Bridge Group in 2013, less than 50% of salespeople on average were able to meet their intended quotas. Moreover, the revenue targets for businesses on average were shown to be marked more than 16% higher than the previous year. Perhaps even more disheartening was that of all the businesses surveyed, the average projected growth rates for 2014 were marked at over 10%, despite the fact that not only had less than half of the sales force met their quotas, but that these figures were actually flat from the previous four years as well.

There can be no doubt that despite their skills, salespeople are struggling to adapt in our changing society and are becoming disheartened and disengaged as a result. Since the onset of email, mobile technology, texting, and social media, it is harder to find a concrete approach to engage and entice potential customers. On top of this, they face pressure from their families, their management team, potential customers, and themselves. Going into 2014 with emptier pockets, many are left wondering whether they should change careers.
