Maximizing Profit: Unleashing the Power of Sales System Data

Struggling to manage and harness the power of your lead data? We’re tackling this issue in this episode of Elevated.

Now, if you’re here, chances are you’ve got your leads neatly compiled in your system. The big question is: what next?

Let’s talk about the art of using sales system data to drive your kitchen and bath design business forward. Systems are incredibly powerful, but sometimes the challenge lies in knowing what to do with all the information once you’ve got it. You’ve invested time and effort in getting those leads into the system; now it’s time to put that data to good use, helping you make informed decisions and optimize your potential for increased profitability on every project.

Centralizing Data for Growth: A Bird’s-Eye View on Sales System Efficiency

Imagine having a bird’s-eye view of your entire operation, where you can monitor the progress of each lead, identify bottlenecks, and spot opportunities for growth. That’s the power of centralizing your data within a sales system. However, business owners often find themselves swamped with other tasks, and they overlook the process of regularly interacting with this valuable information.

Enhancing Profits Through Frequent Sales System Reviews: The Art of Managing Leads

So, let’s discuss how to ensure that the leads within your system are powering greater profits. As a business owner, you may typically check in on your sales process once a month, along with the profit and loss statement and financial bookkeeping, to keep your business on track.

However, when you’re focusing on leads or sales, it might be beneficial to increase the frequency of your check-ins. If you’re running ad campaigns or making any kind of investment in lead generation, or if you’re experiencing a slower design season, consider weekly check-ins. At the very least, you’ll want to schedule monthly check-ins.

Streamlining Sales: Effortless Access to Key Data with Custom Dashboards and Reports

Now, how can you make this process seamless? You don’t always have to dive directly into your sales system to access this information. Many systems can be set up to send you regular email updates. While that’s not my top recommendation, it’s a convenient option for some. Alternatively, you can have a customized dashboard or report configured to provide you with the essential data. Stay tuned for more details on dashboards in upcoming episodes.

If you prefer not to handle compiling the data yourself, you can delegate the task to someone on your team who can extract the necessary numbers for your review. If you’re comfortable working with spreadsheets, you can manually input the data, and for ease of access, consider creating a custom Chrome browser session with links to key web pages for your weekly check-ins. The important thing is to incorporate this process into your routine to make it as effortless as possible.

I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to streamline this process. In the upcoming episodes, we’ll explore essential key performance indicators and metrics to consider incorporating into your dashboard. By regularly monitoring your sales data and taking informed action, you’ll be well on your way to leveraging the full potential of your sales system.

In the next few episodes, we’ll spend some time breaking down the tasty data you can extract from a great sales system. Sure, there will be terms like KPIs, metrics and dashboards, but I promise to make it easy to understand and take action on.
