Selling Has Never Been Harder
Tight economy keeps doors closed and budgets small- 41% reps under quota, revenues from existing customers down last year *
Sales process is getting longer and more complex- 54% companies fail to turn leads into a meeting more than half the time
- Over 50% report it takes 6 or more calls to close a deal
- 27% of all sales cycles taking 7 months or more to close (continued increase every year from 2003 when 19% took 7 months or more)
- Number of deals closing declines – 30% forecast deals are lost and 22% end in no decision
Rapid shifts in business landscape make it hard to keep up
- Mergers, reorganizations, layoffs
