Henry Ford, business magnate and founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said, "Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.". If you want to create a quality product and provide an outstanding customer experience, your business processes should be fine-tuned so every step, from manufacturing to delivery, is well-executed.

Ostensibly designed to help sellers close more deals, in many organizations, the CRM is just another administrative task on a salesperson’s already crowded plate. It’s a way for sales managers to monitor deal status that adds little, if any, value to their selling activities. But this approach to CRM is changing. More and more businesses are adopting sales technology tools, such as our analytics solution Scout , that turn their CRM data into actionable insights.

Your sales close rate is a number you need to keep a close eye on -- out of all the deals in your pipeline, what percentage do you actually close? Sales close rates let you know how efficient and effective you are as a sales rep. And it's a good way for managers to measure sales rep and sales team performance. The higher the close rate, the better your rep and team are at converting opportunities in the pipeline into revenue.

Nothing boosts your sales team's excitement and energy more quickly and reliably than an incentive. After all, most salespeople are born competitors -- adding a compelling reward to the mix makes them even more enthusiastic. However, motivating your reps isn't as simple as choosing a desired outcome (like more calls or higher conversion rates) and promising a cash prize to the winner.

Jess Greenwood, the chief strategy officer at R/GA, once noted that, “data is the new crude oil—it’s only useful when it’s refined.” This couldn’t better describe the way sellers approach data in their CRM. Data within a CRM is just that—it hasn’t been analyzed or prioritized for action. But what if sellers had a tool to help guide them on what actions they should take to move deals further down the funnel?

The structure of a sales force has significant bearing on its success. For example, a rep used to selling to a given region might flounder when asked to concentrate on just one industry nationwide. If each of your company's products require deep and specific technical knowledge, it might not make sense to have reps sell all products by territory. It's simply not true that sales talent translates into all situations.

While it may not be intentional, individual bias can have a significant impact on employee engagement. Bias can sometimes provide a false direction on how to lead a team, so be sure you aren’t using generational stereotypes to influence your decisions.
