Your Business Process and Your Sales Partners
The CEO’s Job in a growing organisation:
In building your company, as the leader in your organisation, it is your job to architect your company. This means enabling your business to learn what works, putting a process in place and improving the process, while structuring to scale your business. As your business process begins to work, from marketing, sales through to delivery, support and product development you step back to put talented people in place for this process to work without your constant involvement. Then as CEO you focus on where to best use your skills to continually build the organisation, depending on your skills of course.
What does the Process look like?
Your business process will be some variation of the following, depending on what works for your business:
1) Lead Generation - finding the right type of customers
2) Lead Qualification - do they really have the need, that I solve
3) Sales – convince them we’re the company to solve the need
4) Delivery - solve it
5) Support - make sure it continues to solve the need
6) Product Development (based on Market Feedback) - learn and get better all the time
