Inside Hospitality Solutions - How Can I Improve my B2B Sales?
I'm Rich Paliwoda with Inside Hospitality Solutions - Your B2B resource for all things hospitality.
A question I often get asked by hospitality suppliers is how can I improve my B2B sales?
Here's what I've learned from the successful companies:
They have a clear understanding of the hospitality sales cycle and they manage their
expectations and investment for each stage accordingly.
The hospitality B2B cycle has four stages: main advertising, marketing, business development and sales.
Advertising creates brand awareness.
Marketing communicates your value proposition.
Business development identifies opportunities and builds relationships, and sales converts those leads into paying customers.
Each stage builds upon the previous one and helps you move closer to a sale.
Ignoring any stage can stretch out or jeopardize your sales cycle.
Remember, the cycle is continuous, so even after the sale you have to keep
informing, educating and engaging your customers.
Be sure to invest in each stage of the sales cycle to improve your chances of success.
