DID IT EVER HAPPEN THAT YOU ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH SALES?
WHY: We have not closed enough deals, customers are not interested in what we have to offer, customers prefer to buy somewhere else, we have not approached enough customers, etc.
HOW: How can I revert any of the situations stated above? By attracting more customers, by modifying our offering, by reaching more customers in different ways…
WHAT: What specific actions we need to do to attract more customers, modify our offering or reach more customers in different ways?
Consultancy is as simple as “Asking the right questions”. And it can be done remotely, in real-time with our C3X platform!
Questions to bring about insight, to promote new ways of thinking, to identify gaps in performance, and to inspire a better state. A series of questions can be used to encourage them to mind and close the gap. For example:
Are you good?
Are you getting better?
How do you know?
Or
What problem are you trying to solve?
What opportunity are you trying to achieve?
How are you going to measure that?
These simple questions can lead an organization to paint a fuller picture of their entire business model, from leadership to results, thereby helping them to identify strengths on which to capitalize and opportunities for improvement in which to invest resources.
But, when it comes to leadership, it’s the question “why” that is the most fundamental of all of the questions.
Make sure the business framework you use emphasizes transparency as defined by consistently candid and open communication, accountability, and the sharing of clear and accurate information by leadership and management. The goal is to help employees understand the “why” of what they are doing. Such understanding helps employees feel connected to the organization’s mission, vision, and values. In the case of many organizations, an employee’s connection to why the organization does what it does is a workforce driver; employees who believe in the values and what the organization believes in both an emotional and intellectual connection will feel more loyalty to that organization.
Do you know why you do what you do? Do your employees understand their why?
Once the “why” is clear, comes the “How” and the “What”’; how to close the gap and what specific actions you need to execute.
This is the simple consultancy process we propose:
1. If results are not what you expect, begin by asking WHY.
2. The answer will reveal the root cause and reasons for the gap.
3. Then, think about HOW to close it. When thinking about the HOW you can close or reduce the gap.
4. Now, inevitably; you are in the WHAT. Those specific actions you need to execute to close or reduce the gap.
These basic steps can help you in business as well as in your life!
