What Does "Winning the Sale" Really Mean?
By: Troy Harrison
Recently, I was in the middle of a conversation with a business owner who has been achieving some admirable sales growth lately. He was bragging on his sales director, who, he said, had just "won a $250,000 order by $5,000." When I asked him what he meant, he said that his sales director had put in a bid that was the lowest price - but by "only" $5,000. I smiled and continued the conversation, but I was lost in thought.
