Can the Process Thinking That Transformed Production Operations Also Streamline - and Maximize - Your Company's Sales Performance?

The engine that drives the growth of your entire organization—sales and marketing—is actually a production process. Instead of producing products, it produces customers.

When demand is high, sales needs to operate efficiently. When demand is low, the sales process itself must not only be efficient, it must also create value for your prospects and customers if you are to beat your competition.

Unfortunately, most organizations don't yet manage sales as a production process. This presents a huge opportunity to process excellence professionals like you.  In fact, the opportunity for operational excellence in sales and marketing is usually much greater than it has been in production operations.

That’s because the same logical methods that work in operations can do more than simply eliminate waste and cost. They also enable companies to increase sales productivity and margins in the bargain. They make it possible to manage and predict business growth.

I am a former B2B sales manager, sales trainer, and the author of "Sales and Marketing the Six Sigma Way" (4.5 stars on Amazon). My team and I have blazed a trail demonstrating that data and evidence can be used to increase revenue, lower costs, shorten sales cycles, improve sales channels, and even motivate salespeople!

We’ve done this by showing clients how to appeal to the professionalism and ambition of their sales teams to bring standard work and continuous improvement to their sales and marketing functions. It isn't always easy, however, and sometimes the sales culture clashes with the requirements of process excellence. That's why we've prepared a whitepaper specifically for Lean and Process Excellence managers like you:
