Get Serious Or Move On - FlipCard

A company’s sales went from 40 to 4 millions in a short time span; of course, the CEO that managed the disaster in the making is no longer there. A Sales Partner was brought in to help out, but, for some reasons, the company management did not act on his recommendations… The products are “big ticket items”, have a long sales cycle and are sold to a narrow market; the company gambled its future on the outcome of ONE contract with ONE client, and they lost: the client did not select them as suppliers. This leads to today: A big loss of sales, all expectations with this customer have disappeared and the pipeline is empty; there are 20 employees in the call center, but the phone does not ring; the costs are running!

Hummm, turning around a 40 millions dollars business is feasible in any economy; but time has come to face the situation: Sales Partners are not magicians, we can step in and work hard with the team to make things happen, but it is not a 3 hours a week mission for 3,000 a month contract. It is more like a 3 days for 10,000 a week for the foreseeable future; the Balance Sheet is at stake, not just the Loss and Profits. Possible outcomes have dire consequences that weight on every decision. At the moment, the company spirit is dead and its management is trying to be cheap and haggles over fees.

Simply put, an external eye is needed: a person able to revive the spirit, elevate the mood and help clinically make the tough choices. Without it, the game is over. The Sales Partners involved and its client are in the precisely same situation: it is either going to work out, or it is not – there is no dancing around that one:

it is time to get serious or time to move on, and the decision is right now. What would you do?

The FlipCard illustrates today’s ‘A Sense Of Urgency Call’.

FlipCard Refuse To Live A Lesser Life - Sales Partners

FlipCard Need Vs. Want

Why is 60,000 Dollars such an important barrier that, like the wall of sound stands in the way of a richer, more abundant future for most people? Today’s discussion revolved around the idea of survival, contentment, satisfaction, cost and mediocrity.

Sales Partners refuse to live a lesser life and generate a surplus in any economy – The importance of mitigating costs is there, but has limited effects; putting yourself at risk to go beyond your minimum requirements and survival; striving to get passed mediocrity and driving you where you want to be; that’s who Sales Partners are.

Sales Partners FlipCards(tm) Steve The Archer

William Tell, AKA Sales Partner Steve is back in focus… After a difficult spell, having his b*tt kicked around, Steve’s archery talents and the “tough love” of his team mates got him back on track. An evening one on one with his bow and arrows got Steve to draw parallels between the patterns happening in his business & his archery skills. The perturbation created by Steve’s introspection process got hit focus tighter and tighter; as this was happening, his pattern of arrows on target kept getting tighter and tighter, until, in an exceptional occurrence… Steve’s last arrow split the previous arrow! Amazing.

Sales Partners FlipCard A Fax

Master Sales Partner Kelly Ritchie thwarted an insider rebellion against instantaneous integration; the perpetrators failed in their attempt to send the team back to communicating via smoke signals from the stone age. Who, in his right mind, would ever want to revert to fax communications, when systems in place allow for real time instantaneous aggregation, reaggregation of all data?

The rebels have been court martialled on the spot, found guilty and… forgiven.
