To help all businesses succeed on the sales field, XANT has pulled together a few game-day strategies that any sales organization can use to make it through the red zone with a winning sales touchdown:

• Watch the Handoff: Sales and marketing teams should work closely throughout the entire life of a prospect — plan your game day strategy with both roles in mind to always keep the ball in your control. Additionally, create content that complements both teams’ efforts to amplify your chances of scoring.
• Avoid Flags: Prospects can become frustrated at various stages of the sales process. Be sure to look out for these flags and scale back as needed until the relationship is mended, otherwise the prospect may leave the game completely.
• Vet Your Pipeline to Eliminate Interceptions: Many sales teams pursue prospects that are not actually likely to purchase from them. Be sure to closely evaluate all prospects in the pipeline to assess their viability as a lead.

XANT Essentials is available for $5,000 per year for up to five users. Additional information and add-on features, including live support, can be found at www.www.insidesales.com/demo/essentials/.
