Details (yuck!) are the bane of a sales professional’s existence.

None of us wants to crunch puny little numbers throughout the day. Save that for the accountants who eat that stuff up.

Let us be free to sell, sell, and sell some more. The only puny numbers we’re interested in are numbers like ‘ones’ and ‘zeros’, as in the number one followed by lots and lots of zeros. Give us a nice round number like $1,000,000 … that’ll put a smile on the faces of just about every professional who sells!

Ah, but here’s the rub … those puny, little numbers hold captive the secrets to getting to the big round numbers, sooner rather than later.

that at the end of your time on the phone, you average about 1 appointment for every 10 cold calls.

You close roughly 1 out of every 2 people you meet with. When all is said and done at the end of the year, these puny little numbers of appointments result in sales that yield a pretty good income for you, around $70,000.

Now, let’s say you want to double your income. Yep, as the new year rolls around, you decide you want to double your income, making it $140,000.

The secret to reaching your goal is hidden in the numbers. Sure, your call ratios and salary may be much higher (or lower) than the numbers used in this example. No worries, simply plug your numbers into these equations to determine your desired outcome.

Being in control of our goals is one of many wonderful things we like about the profession of sales, isn’t it? We know the only thing standing between our dreams and us is our level of skill. We’re glad to gobble up any tips, tools, and techniques that’ll improve our seemingly magical talents that are the envy of others ... especially those who think they don’t have the skills to give away ice water in the Sahara!

OK, as we look at just the numbers, you can reach your goal of $140,000 of take home pay by doubling one of a couple of puny numbers.
