Technology and technique are important. But in a B2B sales environment, they may not be your most valuable assets.
Don't be intimidated by the speed of the marketplace. Although speed is important, sales fundamentals and logical strategies will make the biggest difference in the success or failure of your selling efforts.
Sales Incentives
Ideally, you want your sales force to be self-motivated to perform at a high level. But to inspire your team even further, consider offering sales incentives to sales reps that exceed water recycling and pretreatment business sales targets.
Incentives don't have to break your budget -- sometimes a simple, affordable incentive that recognizes a team member's performance is more valuable than an expensive incentive that lacks recognition or prestige.

But more importantly, a strategy that emphasizes networking can be a lead generation machine. Sometimes the leads you generate through skillful networking will be leads that you had never considered before.

Since marketing and sales go hand in hand, your company's marketing mix plays a central role in bottom line sales revenue. The industry's leading sellers employ multichannel marketing strategies and prioritize channels that target decision makers.
Despite the fact that there are multiple way to market to water recycling and pretreatment businesses, B2B sellers often achieve higher returns by outsourcing lead generation to a third-party provider.
