It's Convenient

16th June 1976 – one of the most iconic days in South Africa’s history. Youth Day this year will mark 45 years since the Soweto Uprising, when thousands of school children mobilised to protest the Apartheid government’s racist laws which affected their education. While hundreds of students paid with their lives, the sacrifices and bloodshed of that day signaled a turning point for the country, leading to global sanctions against South Africa and ushering in the beginning of true democracy. The events of this day and its profound repercussions serve as a testament to the power and influence wielded by young people in society.
In South Africa, the youth (aged 18–34) constitute almost a third of the population with around 18 million people in this age group. This rapidly growing population presents enormous potential, with opportunities for the creativity and innovation of young people to play a vital role in economic growth and transformation.
On the other hand, South Africa’s staggering youth unemployment rate (currently at 74.7%, based on the expanded definition) and severe skills shortages pose significant challenges which cannot be ignored. Overcoming these barriers, in order to harness the immense potential of the youth, will require practical and tangible solutions. by Z Bulbulia
Skills development provides one of the most valuable and effective means of facilitating job creation and reducing unemployment. Accredited training, in particular, encourage ongoing education and training in order to create better opportunities, bridge the skills gap and ultimately grow the economy.

We are always surprised to hear how many companies pay over their Skills Development levies religiously every month yet never apply for grants to get the money back and train their employees.
In the discussions we’ve had with some of these companies, it seems that often, especially in smaller under-resourced companies, the process itself seems too onerous to take on and thus companies simply put training on the back burner.

What Is a Sales Opportunity?
“To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.” — Benjamin Franklin

Of course, before you put your gym shoes on, you need to step back and look at your sales process. Does your sales team know what distinguishes sales opportunities from leads? Are they prioritizing their time and channelling their efforts where they get the most returns?

It is important to define what a sales opportunity is. As basic as this sounds, your definition becomes the qualifiers that move people from lead to opportunity. It gives your sales reps guidelines to follow so they can manage their leads consistently with the rest of the team. And, in turn, you get forecasting accuracy and a true picture of where people and accounts are in your sales pipeline.

Leads VS. Sales Opportunities
Simply put, sales opportunities are people or accounts that have been qualified. You’ve called these contacts and talked about their needs. You’ve assessed their fit. They’re in your pipeline and are in touch with you. You feel good about the possibility of closing the deal.

Contrast this with leads. A lead is just a contact that you have few information about. It could be a marketing-generated lead, which is inbound and top-of-the-funnel. The contact might have downloaded content or filled out a form. Or, it could be a sales-generated lead, gathered through efforts of your outbound sales team.

Communication lies in between. You need to talk to your leads, and gather enough information to help you qualify them. Do they share the top characteristics typical of your sales opportunities? Can you justify devoting more of your time and effort to nurturing these leads?

Top Characteristics of Sales Opportunities
“Find your trigger. Find the qualities that make a lead more likely to convert, and focus on those leads.” – Brian Kardon, CMO at Lattice Engines, a B2B cloud applications company.

CRACKING THE SALES CODE
Not all sales staff are created equal. Some seem able to do no wrong, with a constant flow of deals in the pipeline and an uncanny knack for closing the sale. Others on the sales team struggle just to make quota. Common to the sales team are excuses about their performance and complaints about prospective clients.
The difference between sales reps often isn’t natural talent. Rather, the high-performing sales reps have cracked the code; they understand what it takes to make the sale and have put in place an efficient process to conclude the sale
