Increasing Closings and Conversion with a Huddle

by Bill Rice on July 8, 2006

Brian Carroll releases some more critical information on maximizing the return on your lead generation dollars. He equates the critical feedback loop to the team huddle:

Closed Loop Feedback: The Missing Lead Generation Huddle: “

In team sports, the huddle is crucial to the success of the team. While in the huddle, the team looks at their performance on the last play, including: what worked and what didn’t, and then uses this feedback to decide their strategy on the next play.’

Those of us involved in the complex sale can learn a lot from the team huddle.’ Lead generation is an iterative process that requires consistent closed loop feedback. Closing the loop on a regular basis allows you to constantly learn from each interaction. Closed-loop feedback – the principle of eliciting a continuous flow of pertinent information from the sales team – tracks each qualified lead from start to end, whether to sales close or to rejection.’

He shows how closing that loop in a disciplined way has yielded big returns:

By using closed-loop-feedback, Nortel Networks, watched their revenues from sales leads double every quarter for six consecutive quarters. Also, their close rate on sales leads has increased by 500% since they kicked off the program.’

Check out Brian’s Closed Loop Feedback: The Missing Lead Generation Huddle to see the detailed step-by-step huddle plan to increase you conversion rate.
