As an owner, what’s your biggest block to improving sales? How can fixing this improve the value of your company? We discuss the biggest problem that companies face in their sales and marketing teams with sales and marketing expert Derek Johnson. He says that many companies fail by focusing on tactics, not vision. Start with a vision, develop a strategy, then execute the strategy with precision. This can lead to improving your sales and ultimately improving the value of your company.
“Your sales team is the face of the company, even if you have 2-3 people.”
