Is Focus for You?
Who We Work With
Given our belief in a very process-oriented, consultative selling methodology, Focus America works best with companies with the following characteristics:
|
Your Business Model
|
Typically, Focus specializes in working with clients in Manufacturing, Industrial, Machinery, Professional Services and Technology industries. All of these markets rely on a very strategic, deliberate and proactive approach to sales. In addition, these businesses tend to need to manage sales activity, sales strategy, information and relationships.
|
|
Your Target Market
|
Our clients sell to a niche, specific marketplace where not 'everyone' is a prospect.
|
|
Product/Service
|
Our clients sell "solutions" (as compared to commodities) whereby their average customer spends at least $5000/yr – either in a one-time sale or throughout a year.
|
|
Sales Cycle
|
While this is not a rule, generally speaking, many of our clients sell products/services that require a longer sales cycle of 3 to 12 months +.
|
|
Goals
|
Management and/or ownership is looking to improve, duplicate, grow and/or structure a sales organization. There is a desire to take the sales organization to the “next level”.
|
|
Sales Strategy
|
Success in sales often requires a more consultative sales approach where the sales person must understand the needs and develop specific – sometimes customized – solutions.
|
|
Business Size
|
While we work with all sizes of companies – from start-ups to Fortune 500’s – Focus traditionally fits best with small to medium-sized companies ($1 Million - $50 Million). These are companies that do not have the time, knowledge and/or resources to improve their sales organization’s performance on their own and are looking for a long-term, outsourced relationship with a “partnership” feel.
