Review by victorokothcads -- The Cadence of Excellence
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Cadence of Excellence" by Matthew McDarby.]
THE CADENCE OF EXCELLENCE by Matthey McDarby is a sales strategy for businesses, and he gives strategies. Implementing sales strategies are challenging for sales managers as the salespeople are in the field. A sales manager should focus on planning, critical and strategic thinking, and executions. Companies can also use software to create values and predicting customers.
Businesses need to deal with what they can best deliver rather than involving in any arising opportunity in the market, and they should build trust with their customers. Moreover, in a situation of sales setbacks, one needs to learn from it and not start the blame game. Furthermore, a detailed procedure is necessary while recruiting a salesperson, to the latter. Businesses need to plan, motivate salespersons, and be patient.
The gap I got is the fact that it lacks real-world scenarios on how the strategies work. Mr. McDarby does not show how they are practice; he only gives the clues of businesses and individuals but little details on the practical aspects. The author also uses some technical sales vocabularies to illustrate the sales strategies, which favors experienced individuals in the field and not inexperienced sales managers.
I adore Mr. Mcdarby’s advice to a sales manager that it is more effective to use influence as a tool on their salespersons to have power over them than executing positional powers. Bosses tend to use the powers vested in them by their position to dictate what they think will give the best outcome. He also advocates for the sales manager to create time for salespersons for teamwork. However, I have a different opinion on Jack’s example used on page 25. I had anticipated that it would shed more light, but it did not. The illustration used is not as simple as I had thought.
I recommend it to sales managers and those aspiring to be sales managers. The author has described what sales managers require to increase their sales, how to avoid what is perceived to be good. The author’s suggestion turns out to be ineffective. It is also a good book for businesses. Apart from its excellent sales strategies, the book also indicates that sales managers should avoid opportunities that are beyond their company’s capabilities. All this considered, I give it a rating of 3 out of 4. Mr. McDarby describes good sales ideas that can benefit businesses. Generally speaking, it is a good book for businesses.
