Experiment with Sales Pilot Programs

• Pilot Programs are great ways to take thoughtful risk
• Pilot Programs are short-term efforts that test a sale's innovation before the idea is scaled up to a full-blown effort
• Work on pilots with new customers. Offer a small or lower-cost product or service to start. If it does well... continue to grow. If it doesn't do well, no problem, move on.
• In a difficult sales environment, pilots are great ways to continue to move your sales agenda forward without asking your customers to take big risks.
• Within the walls of the organization, use pilots to experiment. Sales managers should encourage innovation and idea sharing. Instead of taking an idea nationally to start, try it in a territory or region. Again, if it works, GREAT; if not, WE LEARNED.
• Pilot programs are great ways to experiment, fail fast, and evaluate which ideas will sizzle the most.
