Guide and Best Practices

A sales plan is a tool used to set sales objectives and develop strategies and action plans to achieve them. It also lists the necessary tools and resources, expenses and customer requirements etc.

Sales planning process

Define the mission and vision statement of your company and set goals and marketing targets for the business. Make sure your goals adhere to the SMART criteria.
Identify the characteristics of your customers and create a customer profile. If you target several markets with your products, create separate profiles for each.
Describe the resources you will need and the tools your team will have to use during the implementation stage.
Do a competitive analysis to understand where your competitors stand. Analyze their pricing strategies and other trends in the market.
Define your pricing strategy and discuss methods to promote your products or services.
Outline the prospecting strategy where you should identify how to close more deals. An ideal tool to use to identify the key decision makers your sales team should reach out to is the account map.
Create an action plan laying out the steps you need to take to get to your goals. You can also create a dashboard to track and monitor the progress with your strategy.
You can export your diagram as a PDF or image to add to PowerPoint presentations and Word docs. Using the Creately Viewer, you can quickly embed the diagrams in websites, blogs or in your intranet.
