If you listen only to Kirk Nelson’s first few words in the interview below, you’ll be missing out on one hell of a treat! Kirk starts the interview by assuring me that ARCA has an accurate sales funnel and a good understanding of what’s going on in the business. That’s good, right? But, where’s the… “The incredible ARCA journey: two-fifths the sales team; twice the sales”
I’ve waxed lyrical about Mixergy before. Andrew Warner is a successful entrepreneur in his own right and, every day of the week, he interviews a founder with a story worthy of note. Typically, these founders have built (and very often sold) successful tech companies. Other times, they just have a particularly interesting story to tell.… “Justin interviewed by Andrew Warner of Mixergy”
I’m so happy to post this video! On the one hand it demonstrates that organizations can implement SPE without the assistance of Ballistix. On the other hand it suggests that we’ve made huge progress in our efforts to codify and communicate both the principles and the practice of SPE. Aside from reading our books and… “No help from Ballistix: Finance provider goes it alone and enjoys 5x boost in profits!”
When Megara – a Melbourne (Australia) based manufacturer of polypropylene products – was contemplating radical changes to the design of their sales function, a list of concerns was identified: Would customers be happy dealing (by phone, rather than face-to-face) with account managers who were located in another region? Would customers tolerate the requirement to interact… “Radical restructure for plastics manufacturer drives costs down and sales activity up”
“We’ve seen a really dramatic increase in sales …”, Joe explains. “A good sales growth for us … in the industrial glove market … would be 5%. But, even through the recession, we’ve seen a pretty dramatic increase in sales. This year we’re about 25% up in our sales over the previous year. “I think… “Sales up 25% for Canadian glove manufacturer and distributor”
Case study: TEBA, Melbourne (Australia) A common criticism of SPE is that it can’t be applied to small businesses. Well, I’m happy to present (another) video case study that invalidates that position. TEBA is a very small technology company. They supply and integrate network infrastructure, targeting mid-sized enterprises with multiple points of presence. Before the… “Tech company eliminates salespeople: boosts sales”
Case study: Bas Sol, Perth (Australia) If you are a professional-services firm – or if you track and bill time – I think you’ll find this video very interesting. It’s an interview I conducted just before Christmas with Rosie Davidson, the CEO of Bas Sol, a Perth (Australia) based accounting and bookkeeping firm. I must… “Accounting firm abandons time-and-material billing and converts practice to factory: team morale and customer satisfaction up!”
I just posted two more client interviews to our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/BallistixAU You’ll find an interview with Patricia Smith (Albert Smith Signs), who have recently seen a dramatic uplift in sales, and one with Charley Courey (9Wood), who relates how Ballistix have helped them to stabilize a previously chaotic project environment.
Gavin Ross is one of those special people who seems never to be short of energy. Today, however, he is particularly animated. He’s relating the story of how, with the assistance of Justin Roff-Marsh Advertising (now Ballistix), he has shifted his business’s growth into overdrive. “Consider this,” he says – in an effort to justify… “You guys took a good business and you transformed it into an absolutely outstanding one”
America Online and Body Express. At a glance, they mightn’t appear to have a lot in common. America Online (AOL) is the Internet service provider that recently acquired Time Warner – the world’s biggest media company – in a $US165 billion deal. And Body Express is a boutique gymnasium, in Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Look behind… “How a second-hand promotional strategy helped a Sydney gym owner acquire 34 new members in a single week!”
