The last time Inflation was above 4% interest rates were 11%, Terry Waite had just been released and it was the 17th of November 1991. In business terms many lifetimes ago. Whether the Bank of England will raise interest rates to 11% to achieve Gordon Brown’s mandate I will leave to the Money markets to speculate. It is unlikely that interest rates and hence the cos

How Much Will Johnny Sell?
If you ask me how much Johnny will sell this month, well, this is an equation I can get into. If we run the numbers, we can pretty accurately determine where Johnny will end up this month, quarter and year. As the numbers and ratios change so will the final results. This can be exciting, when we are interested in growing our business through sales activities.
The problem associated with calculating sales numbers is that many salespeople and sales managers don’t keep track of the vital numbers to make the analysis. The numbers are an important indicator of success and failure. The numbers aren’t that difficult to track but many people are afraid of what the numbers will reveal. There is a dark side to numbers when used to point out only the negatives.
Let’s go back to the old early algebra scenarios. We ask Johnny how many sales contacts it will take him to reach 50,000 dollars in sales this month. We could calculate this out, if we knew how many contacts it takes Johnny to get an appointment. This will lead us to his average sale. If we know what these numbers are and apply them to the sales formula, we have our answ
Everyone knows that the sports team with the highest morale wins. In fact, every manager wants high morale in his/her group. So why do most managers create low morale in their employees? In truth, given the societal, educational and workplace related influences, it would be amazing if managers did not create low morale and severely damage employee motivation.<

Improving Success Through Ratios
The great thing about numbers and ratios is they can tell us where Johnny needs help and support. We wouldn’t normally have this unless we have Johnny’s contact numbers to calculate his success ratios. If it takes Johnny 30 telephone contacts to get one appointment, the numbers tell us that Johnny is at a very low 30-1 ratio. If this was his baseball batting average, we wouldn’t want him on our team. Johnny would be in a terrible slump and in serious trouble. Now we can look at several things, his telephone script, and the quality and type of the contacts on his telephone list. Perhaps the timing of his telephone calls and the tone and rhythm of his voice needs work too.
The good news is that Johnny only needs a few hits to improve his ratios. All of a sudden Johnny is looking pretty good. It usually doesn’t take much to make this transformation. If we don’t have the numbers, we won’t know where we are and what our ratios can tell you.
