Having a step-by-step selling system will allow you to avoid prospects falling through the cracks, close more deals, and insure that you and your people are consistent in your selling techniques.
A system captures a proven method so you can duplicate and repeat it the same way every time. As an example, studies have shown, in a large corporation, that the sales of their Fortune 500 National Account Representatives started to decline after a year and a half because the more knowledge they gained about their products and prior applications, the fewer questions they started to ask new potential clients! Leaving out and skipping this critical step left buyers with the impression the representative didn't care about their circumstances and created a giant roller coaster in sales.
