Deals are essential to any business and need to be executed with precision. Here are the steps you have to follow in order to manage business deals regardless of whether you’re looking for ways to expand your business, sell a portion of your business or simply make the best decision to maximize your profit margins.
1. Understand your market, and be prepared to walk away.
In the excitement of a successful deal it’s easy to agree to something less than optimal. You should always consider the long-term implications of a poorly planned deal, whether that’s the perception of your brand being slashed or a loss of valuable profits.
2. Use data-driven decision making.
Your team’s ability to succeed is contingent on the accuracy of your sales data. Make sure your reps have access in real-time information when they are negotiating. This information is often difficult to gather from different sources, including spreadsheets and emails. If you do this correctly, you could lose the sale if it takes too long.
3. Ensure your team members are able to act on the data.
It’s critical to have an infrastructure that empowers your team members to take action based on their data, and it is not enough to just have access to the correct information. Revenue Grid is a program that turns your sales data into contextual, interactive alerts, enables your team to act if they need. This can help avoid a missed opportunity by keeping everyone up-to-date on their opportunities in real time.
