Start With Doing: Run the Offense Before You Worry About the Score
Too many sales teams get stuck staring at empty pipelines, waiting for the scoreboard to change without taking action. The truth is, you don’t fix a flat pipeline by analyzing it more—you fix it by moving, by doing. Just like in basketball, sales success comes from running your offense consistently, even when nothing seems to work at first. In this article, learn how to get back on offense, stick to your process, and build the discipline that turns steady effort into real wins.
Overcoming the Challenge of First Meetings in Manufacturing Sales
Begin by clearly defining your ideal customer profile with your sales and marketing teams—knowing exactly who to target makes outreach more effective. Refresh prospect lists by removing outdated contacts and adding new, qualified leads. When reaching out, personalize messages to show you understand industry challenges and offer valuable insights, positioning your company as a trusted advisor rather than just another supplier.
Reasons Your Sales Outreach Isn’t Working
Cold calling isn’t dead though, it’s just different than it used to be. If your team isn’t getting the same results they once did, it’s time to examine the tactics being used and adapt your processes to the way your prospects want to engage with you. Instead of focusing on a wide range of leads, your team needs to zero in on the targets most likely to buy. Determine your ideal customer profile and what makes them a good fit for your company. Then, equip your sales team with this clarity to support their prospecting.
