Sales Expansion Strategies for Account Executives

As an account executive, sales expansion is essential for your success. To succeed in sales expansion, you need to employ effective strategies. This guide will introduce you to 3 proven sales expansion strategies that you can use to help boost sales and grow your business.

1. Handoff to Expansion

When expanding sales, it’s important to have a sales handoff process that keeps sales from being lost in the shuffle. Account Executives should be responsible for handing off sales leads to appropriate salespeople and staying involved in sales progress up until the closure of sales.

2. Be the Advisor, Not their Vendor

Account Executives should strive to establish themselves as sales advisors, not salespeople. It’s important for customers to feel like they are being educated on sales options and not just pushed into a sale by a vendor who wants to make a quick buck.

3. Leverage their Results to Sell them Even More

When sales have been successful, it’s important to leverage sales results in order to sell even more. This can be done through sales presentations or sales emails that outline their success and suggest sales strategies for continued growth.

How to Choose the Best Sales Expansion Strategy for You?

It’s important to choose the sales expansion strategy that best fits your business and goals. Consider what resources you have available and how much time you will need to invest in each strategy before deciding which one is right for you. You may want to experiment with a few strategies before settling on one that works best for you. Finally, keep track of your progress along the way so that you can tweak and refine your approach as needed.
