Your sales garden: From the first seed to a blooming oasis
Imagine you are standing in your garden on a sunny spring morning. The soil is freshly dug, the watering can is ready and you are holding the first seeds in your hand. You have a vision: a blooming garden that will impress your neighbors and friends. But how exactly is that supposed to work?
This is exactly the situation that many people in sales find themselves in. You have the desire to create something great, but between desire and reality lie work, planning and a good sense of what really matters. So - grab the watering can and let's take a look together at where you currently stand.
The spontaneous hobby gardener
Maybe you're just starting out. You've bought a few seeds, think to yourself “it'll work out somehow” and scatter them here and there in the soil. Some things grow, some don't - but why remains a mystery. It's fun, no question, but somehow the big plan is missing.
Sound familiar? Then maybe you're still trying your hand at sales. Deals come in - sometimes by chance, sometimes by luck. Processes? Not really yet. CRM? Maybe a topic for later. It works, but the effort is high, and sometimes you ask yourself: “Is there another way?”
The realization: a plan is needed
At some point, you realize that you don't want to carry on like this. The beds are a mess and the harvest is falling short of your expectations. You look around, get some inspiration and think: How could things be better?
Suddenly a picture emerges. The beds are organized, the plants get their place and you take a targeted approach. Everything becomes clearer, and lo and behold - it works!
In sales, this would be the moment when you introduce the first structures. Perhaps you try out a tool, create an overview or define how you can keep a better eye on your customer relationships. It's still all a learning process, but it's going in the right direction.
The professional at work
After a while, you stand in your garden and think: “That looks really good.” The plants are in full bloom, the beds are well thought out and you know exactly what you're doing. Your neighbor looks over the fence in admiration and says: “You really have green fingers.”
You've also found your own way in sales. Your processes are clearer, you have tools that make your everyday life easier and your decisions are more informed. Not only do you have an overview, but you also feel that you can use your resources in a much more targeted way.
The master gardener
And then comes the big moment: you realize that your garden is so successful that you can expand it further. Maybe even several projects at the same time? Your ideas grow and you find ways to make everything even more efficient.
This is the moment when you also reach the next level in sales. You start to develop more complex strategies and experiment with innovative approaches. Your vision widens and suddenly completely new opportunities open up.
