Sales performance management is all about optimising the processes of marketing and sales.

When considering market development, there is often enormous potential to increase turnover and cut expenditure. In spite of this many companies fail to make the best possible use of these likely benefits (which could boost their contribution to operating income) or even to recognise them. This is often due to the fact that marketing and sales units are geared towards frequently contradictory operations.

Decisive to the success of sales performance management is maintaining an overview of customer-related processes and any further components necessary for market cultivation.

Successful market cultivation takes for granted that lucrative customers and their needs are clearly understood (potential customer base recognition). This data feeds into market cultivation strategy and determines the course of market development processes.

Strategies for market cultivation define a company's approach as regards market penetration and mark out target customer segments e.g. product and service portfolio.

Clearly considered processes are the basis for the successful implementation of strategic goals. Multidimensional control parameters, prompt update delivery, as well as growth-oriented incentive schemes that are guided by the control parameters, all contribute towards the practical implementation of these processes, bringing together both tactical and operative areas.

The continuous optimisation of market cultivation, related processes and/or stakeholders plays a significant role in market success and further growth potential.
