The first stage of planning
It is the answer to a question: how many we want and we think that we can earn? The answer ALWAYS breaks into two key moments:
* How many we will earn on the first purchases (new clients will buy from us for the first time)
* How many we will earn on repeated purchases (clients do next-2nd, 3rd … purchase from us).
It is essentially. After all plan performance in that case assumes a combination of actions of employees on two ways – work with the new clients, which else it is necessary to involve, and with flowing where all where is easier. On each way different actions and decisions are necessary.
One more important remark: the plan always becomes in two indicators – pieces and money. Differently, the plan for month in $100 000 than will not help you, so from it does not follow, how many clients to you will provide this sales volume. It is important to specify that thus we expect to receive such volume from 20, for example, sales.
The second stage of planning
We form the budget of expenses for sales (cost of a user’s payment for phones, faxes, a paper, cartridges, presentations, dinners in cafe – what expenses we have).
You also should plan this budget as it is investments in your manufacture of the income. And even if all the budget will make 2-3 thousand count it. These are the most important money. Probably, you will see, how having increased this budget for example by 10 %, you will lift sales on 20 %.
The third stage of planning
At this stage the plan of sales (actually, 4 figures – in pieces and the money, the first purchases and repeated) are translated in a plan of action (as a rule, in this or that form it is contacts of the company to buyers).
Let’s consider it on an example of the company working with corporate clients (advertising, the software, wholesale trade).
It is important to begin with to represent what percent from a shaft of sales constant clients (in money and pieces) give on the average.
For example, the monthly plan of sales is $100 000. Current clients give on the average in a month $40 000. It means that new clients should give on the average $60 000. Knowing the average size of purchase, (it is defined by work – experience if purchases very different for what sum does purchases the majority), for example $5 000, we have 12 new clients.
If employees two on everyone it is necessary in a month of 72 contacts with new and 8 with old clients. It means only 3-4 contacts in day on the person! By the way, practice shows that the manager on sales can easily do to 3 meetings and to 15 productive telephone contacts in day. Plan performance on contacts is supervised by daily reports of employees on contacts.
