Is Sales Process & CRM Stopping Sales?
Standard metrics and KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) are created usually between The Sales Director, The Financial Director and The Managing Director. These KPI’s tell the sales teams what they should be doing. For example, 'Your pipeline should be at least three times of your annual sales target'; 'Your conversion ratio of opportunities to closed orders should be 60%', and so on. Nothing like a bit of statistical analysis from the bean counters to motivate the sales team is there? Remember that old saying…'You can prove anything with statistics'. Here, we see it applied for real, albeit on an unconscious level.In some extreme cases these so called sales processes and form filling exercises have to be followed, otherwise the sales teams' commissions will be withheld!

A “so-called” investor questioned my trading methods and claimed I would lose 76% if I took 8 consecutive 8% losses. Knowing me, I had to breathe deeply, release the anger from a person who knows nothing about position sizing and teach him a simple math lesson. The following example is simplified to allow you to understand what is happening. In the real world, things are a bit more complicated with commissions, emotions, slippage and the like.

What is position sizing?
Position sizing tells you “how much” to risk on any one trade.

Here I will show you how position sizing can allow you to lose 80% of the time while risking a worse case scenario of 3% equity (I typically risk 1% of equity); yet still come out a slight winner.

If I start with $100,000 and lose 8 consecutive trades at 8% (only risking 3% of capital with 8% stop loss), this is what it looks like:
$100,000 portfolio
3% risk per trade (I am being extreme here to prove a valid point)
8% stop loss

Does Your Website Induce Seizures?
QUESTION: We promote our web site in all our ad campaigns, but according to my website statistics program, we are getting very few visitors who click past the first page. The site has a cool Flash introduction page that the designer said would impress visitors, but it doesn’t seem to be working. What can we do to get people to spend more time on the site? -- Christopher O.ANSWER: The first thing you should do, Christopher, is find that designer and beat the living Flash out of him. It won’t increase the time visitors spend on your website, but it will make you feel better after you’ve read this column.What your designer thought would appeal to visitors is probably the very thing that is driving them away.

Wednesday: Your Daily Yellow Page Ad Review
It’s mid-week and we’ve been going over your directory marketing. Okay, so you have a pretty good Yellow Page ad, but is “pretty good” enough? You have so many parts of the ad to work well, where do you begin to make it better? Assuming that you have a solid headline and sub-head, the next place the reader will turn is to the picture or photograph. If you are an emergency service firm like a plumber or electrician, do you have a picture of your truck in the ad? Does it have your logo on the side and is it nice and shiny? It is? Then shame on you! Who cares that you have a truck, van, bus, hummer, or any other vehicle to carry you and your parts.
