The PowerPoint Presentations
All did a good job with graphics and presentation skills.
Some “mumbling” in response to questions about the market.
Don’t bother with “table of contents” slide. Have a punch-line early. Other feedback given verbally. HA and I will
discuss with Phil, who can provide more info (and his opinion).
Or email/ask us.

The Speaker Surveys The speaker surveys (posted on SloanSpace after
each guest speaker) are a key part of your class participation grade.
We like hearing from you, and your participation helps to build community.
Much of your work for the semester is in a team setting. Surveys are an opportunity for you to shine as an individual, and share insights you’ve gotten out of the in-class material.
Survey responses are recorded for posterity. If you wind up on the fence between two grades and we’re not sure which way to go, reviewing survey responses can help make the decision.

“Tim gave excellent advice on selling tactics. His comments on the difference between salespeople and Sales Managers got me thinking. I also liked his admonition that salespeople LISTEN to their customers. It reminded me of a Cherokee Indian proverb: ‘Listen! Or your tongue will make you deaf.’ I must admit that he did seem a bit ruthless and aggressive and as a consequence I was hesitant to trust him. Sometimes I felt as though I were listening to a stockbroker or a used car salesman.”

“Tim is clearly an effective salesman, and I feel like I could learn a lot from him, starting as I am from effectively nothing. However, I have to admit I was a bit turned off by the misspellings in and somewhat slipshot nature of his slides. I fear this may be shallow of me, but I can't help wondering how much effort someone put into his slides if he's constantly skipping through entire sections of them and glossing over them with ‘and here's another list of things to remember --- got that? --- ok, next slide.’”

“Speedbumps, potholes, and bluebirds...oh my! I thought his advice was thoughtful and relevant. I wish that we had spent more time on building and managing a sales organization (compensation packages, lead generation, etc.) and less on actually being the salesperson. As an aside,Tim really came off as a (good?) salesperson. He is exactly the type of guy I would *never* take an appointment with when I had purchasing power :^)”

Key sales number from that slide:
They claim they will have 5 %of 150,000 (7,500 patients) each paying $20,000.
Here’s when we have to make the leap from market sizing to marketing and sales strategy.
Will customers cough up $20,000 each? How do we find out specifically which
customers these are? How do we get in front of these customers? How do we look good in front of them? PR, advertising, brochures, trade show costs
need to tie in to financial model.

The numbers need to make sense
If you’re claiming you can sell to 7,500 patients, what kind of promotional force or channel development team do you need on staff?
How many hospitals/doctors are involved? Do the math: how many days are there in a
work-week? how many cities can these people visit? how long does a visit take?
Advertising: what’s the hit rate per ad, how often does a doctor read a magazine or go to a trade show, etc.

2. Feature selection
What do customers want to buy? What will they pay for (vs. what they say
they’ll pay for)? How do comparable customer spend
their money? How do these customers spend their
money on comparable items? What can be built in a cost-effective
way?

Tangent...A bit of research published recently
The Goldman Sachs Investment Research analyst that covers McDonalds, Wendy’s, etc summarized a study done by QSR (“Quick Service Restaurant”) Magazine.
It’s all about drive-throughs, which account for approx 60% of sales.
Most sales occur at peak hours, during which throughput is essential.
Slow operators lose sales to competitors given the premium customers place on convenience.

Survey looked at four categories: speedorder accuracymenuboard appearance speaker clarity
Speed and Accuracy each comprise 40% of the overall score, while menuboard appearance and speaker clarity each comprise 10%.
Every 10 seconds shaved off the drive-thu process can yield an incremental $1,000 in sales.
Fastest is Wendy’s: 127 seconds
