On our sales podcast today, Jess and Rob are talking about how a reliance on inbound sales enquiries has severely damaged lead generation across sales teams.  Following the Covid-19 pandemic, consumers were ready to spend and enjoy experiences again, which saw a big uplift in incoming enquiries across the sports, leisure and entertainment sectors.  However, this was a short sighted – let’s deal with taking orders – approach, which now as we hurtle through 2022 and toward a potential recession, has left sales pipelines dry.

Not only that, the significant changes in staffing and the great resignation, along with a lack of training and development, means that most sales teams do not have the correct skill set to be able to generate new leads effectively.

If your sales team are not trained now, the remainder of 2022 and 2023 are going to be incredibly tough.

Listen in as Jess and Rob chat about the challenges in the marketplace and offer ideas and suggestions for how to resolve this in your team.  Furthermore, Selling to Corporate can work with you to diagnose the issues specifically within your team, help advise on a rectification pattern, quality workshops and much more.  Click here to book a free consultation call with Rob now!

  • How certain industries like sports and entertainment saw huge uplifts in incoming enquiries that have now fallen away
  • Individuals & companies are attending less events than before, spending more, but leaving gaps that need to be filled
  • Order taking on an incoming enquiry is easy, it does not translate into being a salesperson
  • The great resignation has severely affected the talent pool and skills
  • Teams that have and are training their staff will secure an advantage when it comes to attracting new clients
  • The pandemic has encouraged even more competition for prospective revenue
  • Why LinkedIn Sales Navigator is pointless if your team don’t have the skills to identify the relevant stakeholders
