The back-to-school season isn't just for students—it's the perfect time for businesses to refocus and strategize for year-end success. Seasoned sales expert Evan Polin and marketing strategist Craig Andrews reveal the playbook for maximizing your Q3-Q4 performance when summer distractions fade and serious business resumes.
We dive deep into the critical task of pipeline review, teaching you how to perform an honest "autopsy" of your year-to-date sales performance. Discover why successful businesses maintain pipelines four times larger than their revenue goals and how this cushion ensures hitting targets despite normal sales attrition. Learn to distinguish between real opportunities and wishful thinking in your pipeline—because as Evan bluntly states, "wishing and hoping aren't strategies."
Marketing success hinges on message clarity and audience understanding. With attention spans lasting mere seconds, your ability to immediately address pain points determines whether prospects engage or ignore you. Craig reveals why "it's not the marketing that stinks, it's your message," and provides tactical advice for crafting compelling communications that speak directly to what matters most to your audience: "What's in it for me?"
The episode delivers actionable strategies for evaluating performance data, recalibrating sales activities, simplifying marketing campaigns, and planning your calendar for remaining industry events. We outline step-by-step approaches to ensure your sales and marketing efforts align perfectly for maximum impact during the critical year-end period.
