Real-Time Accounting vs. After-the-Fact Accounting

performance improvement

In the ever-evolving and fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, the journey to success is often fraught with challenges and opportunities. As a business owner, navigating this dynamic landscape, one of the most critical elements that can either propel you forward or hold you back is the quality and timeliness of your financial information. Sound financial information is not just a tool for tax filing; it is the backbone of informed decision-making, strategic planning, and sustainable growth.

The Bedrock of Success: Sound Financial Information

For business owners, sound financial information is like a GPS that helps you navigate from point A to point B. Set up properly, your financial information can provide direction, clarity, and confidence, enabling entrepreneurs to steer their ventures toward success.

Accurate financial data allows you to:

  • Make Informed Decisions: With precise financial information, you can make decisions about investments, expansion, cost-cutting, and pricing strategies. It empowers you to evaluate the financial health of your business, identify trends, and anticipate future needs.
  • Plan Strategically: Financial information is crucial for creating realistic and achievable business results. By understanding your financial position, as a business owner, you can set goals, allocate resources effectively, and devise strategies that align with your long-term vision.
  • Manage Cash Flow: Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. Reliable financial data helps you watch your cash flow, ensuring you have the ability to meet obligations and seize opportunities as they arise.
  • Secure Financing: Whether seeking loans, attracting investors, or negotiating with suppliers, having sound financial information enhances credibility and demonstrates your business’s stability and growth potential.
  • Ensure Compliance: Accurate financial records are essential for complying with regulatory requirements and tax obligations. They help avoid legal issues and penalties that could derail the business.

Creating a High-Performing Sales Team: Get The Sales Outcomes You Want!

performance improvement

Creating a Sales-Focused organization that is resilient, focused on new and repeat business, and successful in achieving its revenue and profit goals is not transactional. It requires a commitment and the investment of time, energy, and effort with a clear vision of what success looks like. Why not take stock now and find a few areas that will make a difference?

Is your company focused on the right areas, and producing the performance and outcomes you want? Thinking of your current organization, its focus on sales, the culture, employee & management attitudes (mindset), along with sales performance, read the statements below and ask yourself: are these in place and are they optimized?

If your answer is NO to two or more of the following statements, then you would likely benefit from a shift in sales related focus in your organization:

  • All employees have a positive view of sales and selling in our organization
  • The sales leader meets regularly with the business owner /leadership to ensure alignment of sales and organizational strategy
  • Strategic prospecting targets are defined and included in each salesperson’s territory plan
  • All employees in the organization understand the importance of sales and the role they play in supporting and increasing both sales and customer satisfaction

High Performing Sales Team: Inspiring Success

performance improvement

What is the view or mindset of your organization toward its sales team? The sales team should be viewed as a high-performance team, no different than a professional sports team. The entire organization (employees / leadership) must get behind the sales team and be supportive, helpful, and passionate about winning, succeeding, and driving results. Something as simple as setting the mindset of ‘everyone sells’ can be a shift in the culture and attitudes embraced by the organization.

Has organizational leadership made clear its go-to-market strategy, along with high value targets? Is the sales manager and sales team equipped and armed with the needed information to carry to prospective customers? Too often sales teams are expected to function just like an owner or leader would, often relying on passion and inside knowledge the sales team doesn’t have access to. Is your sales team set up for success or failure? What information does the owner or leadership have that once shared becomes a game-changer?

We’ve found that many organizations truly want great results, but when it comes to a sales-focused organization with a high-performance team, gaps in this concept emerge. These gaps may include mis-hires in the recruiting of sales team members, not being clear about the role and results expected for the position, and not providing the right tools or direction that supports the optimal success of the sales team. It may be sales management, where success is expected, not celebrated, or assumptions that the team is trained and knows what to do, but no one is checking to see if that assumption is valid.

Creating a Sales-Focused organization that is resilient, focused on new and repeat business, and successful in achieving its revenue and profit goals is not transactional. It requires a commitment and the investment of time, energy, and effort with a clear vision of what success looks like. Why not take stock now and find a few areas that will make a difference?

The Gateway to Performance Improvement and Business Success

performance improvement
We’ve found that many organizations want results, but when it comes to a high-performance team, gaps in this concept emerge. These gaps include unsuccessful recruiting of sales team members, not being clear about the role and results expected for the position, and not providing the right tools or direction that supports the optimal success of the sales team. While a sales manager can be key to building and sustaining a Performance Sales Team, each team member must have the potential to grow and excel. An effective sales manager will help grow that salesperson and work to release their potential.

When it comes to creating a high-performance sales team, having, adding, or enhancing talent is critical. A high-performance team needs goals, direction, and feedback about how they are doing, progress toward sub goals (milestones, KPIs) and their approach, acumen, volume of work and effort. They may need to split their time up strategically, so a certain portion of their day is geared toward developing new business opportunities and some of their day to expanding existing business. A sales leader/manager should squarely be focused on the development of strong performing sales team members and working closely with them to refine skills and abilities that result in enhanced performance and therefore better results. All salespeople should be highly focused on their goals that align strategically with the organization – the activities required to build a robust, predictable pipeline and have sufficient volumes in both areas that goal achievement is reliable, predictable, and greater than expected.

Do You Need Sales Management Help?

performance improvement

What is your current mindset around sales management?

Thinking of your current sales management situation, read the statements below and ask yourself: are these in place and are they optimized? If your answer is NO to two or more statements, then you would likely benefit from a shift in your sales management solution, mindset, or approach.

  • You have a sales manager/leader in place - their primary role is to lead and grow the sales team, coach, and train them, and develop a high performance sales team
  • The sales manager meets regularly with the business owner to ensure alignment of sales and organizational strategy
  • The sales manager holds salespeople accountable to goals, territory management, and activity levels
  • The sales manager meets at least 1x per month 1-2-1 with salespeople for feedback, coaching and support
  • The sales manager holds team meetings at least 1x per month

Every sales-focused organization has room for improvement! If you aren’t implementing all the statements above, or only a few, you may need to adjust your mindset or priorities around sales management… it may be time to get some help.

High Performing Sales for Your Business

performance improvement
Have you struggled in the past to develop the tools your business needs to thrive?

Are you ready to build a high performing sales team with a solid sales management strategy?

Business leaders and owners understand that more focus is needed on sales efforts in their organization but aren’t sure exactly how to get started, or how to drive positive change when it comes to their sales efforts.

Sales Fundamentals:

Consider the following with your sales team to ensure you’re implementing these sales fundamentals:

  • A complete Sales Story (Power Statement) has been developed and is used by all salespeople
  • Salespeople speak in terms of client need and challenges, not products and service offering
  • Messaging and selling are aligned properly with all marketing efforts
  • A clear sales process has been defined for acquiring NEW sales from NEW customers
  • The CRM system meets the needs of salespeople and is actively used by all

If you need to refresh the sales message and process to re-energize your sales team, it may be time to seek professional help from a business coach.

Our Four-Pronges Approach to Creating a Sales-Focused Organization

performance improvement, performance improvement ann arbor
Based on our experience, we have found that the importance of a solid foundation can’t be understated. If the foundation of your home had a large crack, you would be rightfully worried and call a professional to get it taken care of as soon as possible. Why look at business any differently?

We believe in a four-pronged approach to creating a Sales-Focused Organization:

  1. Sales fundamentals such as an effective sales process, your power statements with strong messaging, and powerful conversations that combine these fundamentals, to build upon and drive success for you and your team.
  2. Effective sales management, meaning the sales leader/manager should squarely be focused on the development of strong performing sales team members and working closely with them to refine skills and abilities that result in enhanced performance and therefore better results.

Read the full list on our website!

Building or enhancing your revenue performance will depend on how well you develop your sales foundations. These will be critical to your sales success. For the specifics of your business, its sales efforts, and their success we’ll need to rely on your candid assessment. So, don’t wait, take stock today and figure out where success or the lack of it is coming from.

In future months we will examine, separately and in depth, Sales Foundations, and each of the other Five Business Dangers. We will also provide a free assessment tool that will highlight specific gaps within the Five Business Dangers.

High Performing Sales for Your Business

performance improvement, performance improvement ann arbor
As a business owner/leader, are you frustrated that you're not hitting your sales goals and know something needs to change? Business leaders and owners often know that change is needed on the sales front, but they often are not sure exactly where to start, or how to drive positive change to improve sales results.

Let’s face it, Sales and a Company’s Sales Function form some of the most important success elements through the life cycles of any business that begins as a start-up, advances through early-stage growth, second stage growth, on to maturity, sustainability, and beyond.

If you are like many of the businesses we have worked with, you may have experienced the following:

  • frustration with not reaching your sales targets
  • sales cycles that are longer than expected
  • a pipeline that is too weak to make up the difference on too-slow-to-close opportunities
  • unsure if you have a good or the right sales process in place
  • as a business owner/leader, overwhelmed with both running the business and managing the sales function and/or sales team

How to Set Up a Marketing Plan to Improve Business Performance

A big part of your marketing effort and its success will lie in setting up a marketing plan – one that takes your marketing initiatives and creates specific plans for each marketing element. If you don’t currently have marketing data or marketing KPIs , this would be a good place to start, as data will be critical in assessing what is and is not working. 

As an example, for your website, you will want to optimize it for a set of search terms, and then know the number of visits per day or month, and which pages are viewed by visitors. You will also want to know how many web forms are completed and submitted. In the end, for each of the channels through which you market, you will want to know the number of contacts, phone calls, or leads each produced. This information will determine whether that particular channel is yielding a good marketing ROI (return on investment) or not. With data, you can decide what to add, change or stop. It will be a worthwhile investment of time to figure out where your marketing success or the lack of it is coming from.

Building or enhancing your revenue performance will depend on how well you develop your marketing foundations, messaging, and the channels you use to reach your intended audience. For the specifics of your business, its marketing efforts, and their success we’ll need to rely on your candid assessment. So, don’t wait, take stock today and figure out where success or the lack of it is coming from.

In future months we will examine, separately and in depth, Sales, and each of the other Five Business Dangers. We will also provide a free assessment tool that will highlight specific gaps within the Five Business Dangers.

How Do You Market Your Business? Our Ideas for Improvement

performance improvement

Last month we discussed your company’s marketing and the fundamentals or foundation of a solid marketing plan – marketing messaging. Hopefully, you’ve reviewed these elements and taken a few steps to improve the foundation for your company’s marketing efforts.

Now that you have a solid foundation with great messaging, let’s review your marketing channels or marketing array – how do you reach your ideal target audience? What is your current marketing array? Here are a few ideas (though this is not an exhaustive list):

  • External signage
  • Logo with tag line
  • Email signature
  • Local advertising
  • Marketing collateral – flyers, brochures, etc.
  • Website
  • SEO/SEM
  • Local Chambers
  • Referral partners or organizations
  • Webinars, seminars, presentations
  • Business Associations
  • Networking Groups
  • Referral and loyalty programs
  • Social media
  • E-listings
  • Email marketing and nurture campaigns
  • Automation
  • Geogrid

…and many more…

Take a look at the list above. Which ones are already in place, which ones should be added and/or improved upon? If you are overwhelmed with what seems like endless possibilities, examine where your recent sales or marketing successes have come from. If you’re not already doing so, asking how people have heard about your company and its offerings will help to figure out what is and is not working for your marketing strategy.

The “What’s in It for Me” Factor & How It's Essential for Marketing

performance improvement
Learning the What's In It For Me (WIIFM) factor for your customers will help put the focus on them and on their experience before, during, and after receiving what you offer. For many businesses, asking for information about the experience of their customers will help shed light on what is enormously important to them. This at times may be at odds with the view of the business and their team. When you have this information at hand, it can be incorporated into your company’s unique selling or value proposition and guarantee.

You may have heard the phrase ‘stories sell’ – customer stories can make a dramatic difference in making your prospects warm up to what you offer. Donald Miller’s ‘Building a Story Brand’ (2017) is a great read on this topic. You will discover value in understanding the important roles of the hero and the guide.

Next month we will address channels through which to market your company’s offerings.

Building or enhancing your revenue performance will depend on how well you develop your marketing foundations and messaging. To get into the specifics of your business’s marketing efforts, we’ll need to rely on your candid assessment. Is it time to take stock to figure out where success or the lack of it is coming from?

Marketing Essentials for Your Business

performance improvement
Last month we touched on two of the Five Business Dangers that create revenue generation – marketing and sales. Hopefully, you’ve taken some time to define your company’s specific roles for marketing and sales – if not, you may wish to go back to last month’s article. We dedicate this month’s topic to marketing.

Laying a solid foundation to support your marketing efforts today and well into the future is essential for the success of your business! You may already have some key elements in place, but consider adjusting your marketing plan to include the following:

  • Why does your company exist (this may resonate with your target market)?
  • What does your company do – what is its product/service?
  • Who does your company serve – what is your target market?
  • Where is your target market found? What is your geographic footprint?
  • Does your company offer a niche product or service where what you offer is exceptional in your marketplace (i.e., better than 70% of your competition)
  • Where does what you offer land with regard to price or value?
  • What is the WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) factor for what your company offers?

Taking the time to develop the areas listed above will enhance the performance and effectiveness of your marketing efforts. They will provide your sales team with the necessary ammunition to power their sales efforts to success.

Revenue Generation: Critical to Your Business's Success

performance improvement, performance improvement ann arbor
There are many factors that can contribute to the success or failure of a business. A crucial one is revenue generation. Last month we touched on Five Business Dangers. The two that affect a business’s revenue are marketing and sales. We will dedicate this month’s topic to making distinctions between your Marketing and Sales efforts. It’s especially important that your company defines the role that its marketing and sales efforts need to play. For most companies, a mix of marketing and sales will be important. Depending on the product (or service) a company offers, a well-written product information or description may be all that is needed to generate a sale/transaction – think about the first iPhone and the long lines of willing buyers waiting to get their hands on one.

It is also important to think about KPIs (key performance indicators) for your marketing and sales efforts. People and positions also play a significant role and clarity for these is critical in driving success with your KPIs. Here are a few thoughts to help you define your marketing and/or sales:

  1. How are leads or opportunities created and by who or which department?
  2. How much support is needed to sell what you offer? Think Customer Service or Sales, or even something like Sales Engineer (a salesperson with engineering expertise)
  3. Is what you offer acquired transactionally (no or little help needed)?
  4. Is what you offer best supported through establishing a relationship? Think recurring revenue, professional service, repeat customer, referrals, etc.
  5. For either marketing and/or sales, what processes (steps) have you put into place?

Are the answers to the above questions unclear? If so, your team will be challenged to enhance your revenue performance.

Performance Improvement: The Roles of Marketing & Sales

performance improvement ann arbor
It’s common for salespeople to be responsible for their own lead generation. This being said, it’s not unusual for marketing to be charged with generating leads – web leads, phone calls, etc. It can be extremely helpful to think about the KPIs for marketing and/or sales and to define the leading and lagging ones for each or both areas – leading ones are precursors to lagging ones, that often entail top- or bottom-line results. An example of lagging KPIs is revenue that has been received by your accounting department.

For another company it may be sales revenue that is ‘booked’ through a PO (Purchase Order). Marketing efforts may often be gauged by the number of web leads, phone calls, or responses to a vanity phone number in the call to action of a given marketing offer.

Building or enhancing your revenue performance will depend on how well you define your marketing and/or sales process and efforts with established KPIs. Next will be the execution of each area (think strategy and tactics). To get into the specifics of your business’s marketing and/or sales efforts, we’ll need to rely on your candid assessment. Is it time to take stock to figure out where success or the lack of it is coming from?

In subsequent months we will examine, separately and in depth, Marketing, Sales, and each of the other Five Business Dangers. We will also provide a free assessment tool that will highlight specific gaps within the Five Business Dangers.

5 Business Dangers to Avoid to Ensure a Successful Growing Business

performance improvement
There are many factors that can contribute to the success or failure of a business. Your business needs to be nurtured and supported, in some ways no differently than your health and well-being. Our health, something that we are born with, can be improved, maintained, and under certain conditions lost. There is no guarantee that early health will hold on its own and therefore we tend to support it and feed it, often through sleep, nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. A business is no different – it needs to be fed. So, how do we do that with success in mind?

Over the coming months, we will dedicate content to examining Five Business Dangers that if left unchecked will lead to the early failure rates:

  1. Leadership
  2. Human Capital
  3. Marketing
  4. Sales
  5. Financial

Business success and performance improvement depend on the execution of each of these. To get into the specifics of your business we’ll need to rely on your candid assessment. Without going into details, how well is your business being supported or fed in each these five areas? Is it time to take stock to figure out where success or the lack of it is coming from?
