How do you set yourself sales targets to make sure you're getting in the right direction?
For a start I set targets related to things I can do. Send X emails. Call Y people. Every week I review the results and get a feel of what's the average response rate, and try to go for more.
I set smaller goals of things in my control. Outreach, Blogs to write, Communities to spend time in, calls to book, testing new traffic channels.
For example I wanted to go from 60 to 100 potential customers in my pipeline within a month, created lead magnets, and workshops to attract them.
How are you setting goals for outreach and community, then? This is also something I'm having trouble quantifying.
I say I'm going to email 10 people directly. I find out their linkedin, or connect with them in someway or find their public email.
For community, I spend 10 to 15 minutes replying to things I see I can reply to and help immediately with. Sometimes you don't have to be comprehensive but just fast and be present.
