Sales is NOT a Numbers Game

By Bill Farquharson, Sales Vault. Read Bill’s tip below or watch Bill here.

 

Good morning!

“Sales is a numbers game.”

The only thing more cringe-worthy to me is when I hear, “The Yankees are leading the American League East.”

But I digress…

Listen, the only time sales is a numbers game is when it’s your goal to sell on price. Otherwise, it’s a process game.

That is, you need a process.

Salespeople of all experience level need to hear this but no one more than the new sales reps out there searching for “How to build a simple prospecting system for beginners in sales.”

Most new salespeople operate randomly:

  • Reach out when they feel like it
  • Try something once
  • Move on if there’s no response

That’s not a system. That’s a game of darts.

A simple prospecting system looks like this:

  • A list of people to contact
  • A consistent outreach plan
  • A follow-up schedule
  • A way to track activity

That’s it.

It doesn’t need to be complicated! It just needs to be repeatable!

Because without a system, everything feels uncertain.

With a system, you stop wondering what to do—and start doing it.

And that’s when results begin to show up.

If prospecting feels random or inconsistent, it’s not a lead problem—it’s a system problem.

If you want a simple prospecting system you can actually follow as a beginner, I’m happy to walk you through it.
