How to Create a Sales Plan Using Sales Templates
A successful sales plan requires laying out your strategy, tactics, budget,
hiring plans and more. Here is a framework for a successful sales plan:
-
Mission Statement
-
Creating a mission statement helps sum up your
sales plan into a succinct, memorable phrase.
-
State your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
-
If your team is outbounding, this will be crucial
for scaling performance. If your team is 100% inbound,
your ICP will still help inform talk tracks, website
language and more.
-
Quota / Revenue targets
-
Establish these per team and per rep on a yearly, quarterly, and monthly basis.
-
Use the Sales Report Templates to inform progress toward these KPIs year round
-
Activity and Objective Targets
-
Based on what your team needs to sell or close, use historical data and conversion
rates to determine how many calls, emails, social connections, meetings, etc it
will take to achieve the results.
-
Map the activities like calls and emails as well as objectives like meetings into
scorecard templates
-
Team
-
Include the current team and potential hires you’ll need to make.
-
Include your proposal for salary and bonus
-
Include your coaching programs and performance improvement plans by
using our sales coaching templates.
-
Tech Stack
-
Include the budget for all current tools used and any you’d like to add.
-
If you are using a lot of our sales templates in your sales plan,
consider adding Ambition as a tool in your stack to automate all of
this and save you time!
-
Market
-
Any conditions or things that you take into account when
forecasting your year should be included here as well.
-
