How to Increase SaaS Sales

Research performed for the Sales Excellence Report found that sellers with optimized sale methodologies achieved an 11% higher sales win rate than those with informal sales methods.

Sales win rates were further elevated when an optimized sale methodology was integrated with a predictable sales process and CRM software. These three components created the sales trifecta and increased sales win rates 6% above sale methodologies alone.

Sales research that analyzed win rates revealed that salespeople who consistently applied a SaaS customer acquisition strategy with sales win plans achieved a 5% higher sales close rate than those who did not.

Sales management research shows that active sales coaching delivered significant performance improvements in the areas of sales conversions, quota attainment, annual revenue growth and salesforce tenure. In fact, the Best-in-Class sales teams consistently performed active sales coaching and as a result earned 11% higher sales win rates, 12% higher salesforce quota attainment and 21% year over year revenue growth. They also realized 6% less voluntary sales turnover. The data also showed that sales coaching programs earned 78% ROI on the coaching investment.

Sellers know what works for them. Salesforce technology research found that salespeople cited five applications that most helped them achieve their goals.

Sales analytics research found that the top sellers were 1.8 times more likely to use dynamic sales dashboards and 4 times more likely to use predictive analytics when compared to lower performing peers.
