The Silver Lining of Your Sales Season
Let's talk about life after AEP - take a deep breath, you made it through!
You know how it goes this time of year - sales teams are usually in one of two boats right now. Some are popping champagne and celebrating their wins, while others are dealing with those tough conversations with management about missing their targets.
If you're in that second group, don't worry - this could actually be your opportunity to set up an amazing 2025. Here's why:
First, resist that urge to completely check out for a while (though believe me, I get it!). While everything's still fresh in your mind, take some time to really break down what happened during the sales season. Sure, you'll want to look at all those numbers and KPIs, but make sure you're also getting the full story from your team about what they experienced on the ground.
Next, dive into your data - it's trying to tell you something! When did deals start falling through? Are there any patterns in the timing? Understanding these trends now will be super valuable for planning ahead.
And here's the silver lining - you've got plenty of time to explore new ways to boost your sales game for 2025. This is perfect timing to check out some demos, get your higher-ups on board, and implement new tech before the next busy season hits.
Speaking of tech solutions, I should mention what SalesSense brings to the table. Our clients have seen some pretty impressive results:
Their sales and lead conversion rates typically double or triple, and they're saving up to 30% on handle times. Their reps can answer any question about plans, benefits, coverage, or costs instantly and accurately - which really builds credibility with customers. Plus, it takes a lot of pressure off the reps, helping both newbies and veterans perform better than ever. We're also seeing fewer CTMs because enrollees get matched with the right plan from the start, and training time drops thanks to our straightforward, measurable processes.
So what do you think - ready to turn things around for next year?
If your enrollments fell short of the goal this year, and you’re looking for practical ways to fix it for the following year, book a demo to see how SalesSense by Sensentia can help you put real strategy into your sales process!
