What Is A Sales Funnel and how to use it

Sales Funnel

We make use of the metaphor of a sales funnel (wide at the very top, narrow at the end) to monitor the sales process.

Towards the top of this funnel you've got 'unqualified prospects' - the people who you believe may need your service or product, but to whom you've never spoken. At the end of this funnel, many delivery and sales steps after, you've got those who've received the service or product and have also purchased it.

The metaphor of a funnel can be utilized because prospects drop out of different stages of an extended sales process.

How Sales Funnels are Useful ?

Using the sales funnel, and by calculating the amount of leads at every point of the procedure, you are able to predict the amount of prospects who'll, over time, become clients.

A lot more than this, by taking a look at how these amounts change with time, you are able to spot issues in the sales pipeline and just take corrective action early.

For instance, in the event that you spot that not many mailings were actioned during a month, you may be expecting that, in a couple of months time, sales may dry out. The following month, you can ensure that more mailings than usual are sent.

Utilization of the Sales Funnel shows obstacles and dead time, or if they're an insufficient quantity of leads at any point. This knowledge enables you to decide where sales agents should focus their attention and efforts to help keep sales at the required level and, also, to satisfy targets.

The funnel may also explain where improvements have to be implemented in the sales procedure. These might be as straight-forward as introducing extra sales coaching or making certain sales reps put adequate emphasis on each step of the process.

Stages of setting up sales funnels

The very first stage in establishing sales funnel reporting would be to brainstorm the sales process together with your sales and marketing people to make certain that it is correct and comprehensive.

Out of this, find out the main sequential parts of the sales procedure and, from these, generate status codes.

Then, label your leads using these codes (this is easier when you've got a sales contact management system). Finally, work-out the amount of prospects of every status and calculate the change from the last month.

As you develop an image of a sales funnel from every month, you can begin to comprehend where you are able to enhance your sales process.

Obviously, a product is required before you can start to sell anything though, and this is what we are going to discuss in the forth coming posts....

Training and Housebreaking Your Dog or puppy

Training and Housebreaking Your Dog or puppy

My name is Adrienne Farricelli, I'm a professional CPDT-KA certified dog trainer, and for the last 10 years I've been helping people to eliminate bad behaviors in dogs and train well behaved, obedient, loving pets…by showing them how to bring out the ‘hidden intelligence’ inside their dog.

Some BASICS for Dog or puppy training first

While bringing him in the house,

the most important and first thing you will do is potty training. Your dog knows no difference between the inside of your house and the backyard.

As far as they are concerned there are very few places that are not acceptable place to pee or poop.

You probably have very different ideas. It should be relatively easy for you to train your dog to go outside if you are willing to follow the steps given here.

As you begin this process you may have to cut those close and cuddly ties you have already established with your puppy.

To housebreak a puppy you will need to keep him confined to a small area, not your lap, in the home.

While this may seem like punishment remember that dogs were once den dwelling animals. They like their crate or doghouse it makes them feel secure.

They also want your praise, so by training them you will be able to give them the praise that they desperately want.

There is a specific way using your dog's natural intelligence and to stop bad behavior

Dog or puppy Housebreaking and training Step By Step

Get a crate or kennel for your puppy.

When you are not actively engaged in playing with or walking your puppy he should be in a crate. This includes overnight and while you are not home.

The puppy should not expect, nor should he be given free run of your home. This will give him an early sense of dominance and make it harder to train him.

In addition, most dogs will not eliminate in their kennels, so you reduce the risk of an in home accident. The crate should be large enough for your dog to sit up, stand, and turn around.

Too large of a crate is not going to make your dog feel secure and too small will be uncomfortable.

Since your dog will likely get larger you may have to invest in successively larger kennels. Maintain them well and you should be able to sell them online or at a yard sale.

Your local dog shelter would probably love a donation of an old kennel if you are so inclined.

Plan to have someone with your puppy most of the time. You should not get a puppy the day before you leave on a two week vacation.

The best time to get a puppy is Friday after work so you have at least two full days to spend solely on housebreaking.

Most of your time should be spent around the house with your new dog making him feel comfortable and getting him on a puppy schedule.

Purchase training supplies. You will need treats, and lots of them for housebreaking and other behavioral training. Buy a large supply and a wide variety of treats.

Does any of the following sound familiar…

Your dog doesn't listen to you
You need to train a new Puppy
Your dog barks uncontrollably
Your Dog is pulling on the leash
Your Dog is aggressive
Your Dog is chewing things he shouldn't
Your Dog is digging all the time
Your Dog is Jumping up
You're frustrated with your dog
You may even regret getting your Dog
You're worried you might have to give up your Dog because of behavior problems you can't handle
You feel helpless to control your dog
You tell your Dog ‘no’ with no success
Your Dog gets over excited and is hard to settle down
Your Dog is whining constantly
Your dog has a fear of certain sounds or stimuli or suffers from anxiety
You want a dog who obeys you
You want a better bond with your dog
You want less stress
.....Almost ANY behavior problem you can think of can be quickly and easily cured with the simple techniques I'll teach you

There are all sorts of different kinds available, make sure to get ones that your little puppy can handle chewing up. You might even cut up the treats into small, bite sized pieces.

There are treat bags that you can purchase that will clip to your belt or pocket, but a sandwich bag that is sealed works just as well.

You probably do not want to just keep them in your pocket because the dog will smell them and will not leave you alone.

When it comes to potty training you will also want a stopwatch or timer, if there is one on your oven or cell phone that will also work fine.

Some people, especially apartment dwellers with small dogs use pee pee pads. It seems a little gross, but can be a necessity if you live in an apartment where going downstairs constantly can be a hassle.

There are some good grass beds available that are an alternative to pee pee pads. They are much more appealing to look at and to smell.

This is also a good choice if your puppy will use your balcony to relieve himself. Neither of these are good options if your puppy will eventually be a medium to large sized dog.

Big dogs equal big puddles and big poops, the pads and grass beds are not large enough to handle it.

Come up with a schedule. The rule of thumb is that a puppy can hold it for one hour for every month of age plus one hour. If your dog is two months old he should be able to hold it for three hours.

However, this does not mean you should wait three hours before taking him out. Instead you should start feeding and watering the dog at the same time every day.

Some people choose to feed dogs twice a day, some once. Your dog will let you know which it prefers. Each time you feed the dog he should be given a set amount of time, maybe fifteen to thirty minutes to eat and then the food should be taken away.

After the dog has eaten he should immediately be taken out to go potty. YOU choose the area of your lawn that you want him to use as a toilet and take him to that area.

Walk the dog around the area and use a cue phrase that suits you like “Go Potty” or “Do Your Business.” These cues will get engrained in your dog and he will react to them throughout his life.

Make sure that everyone in the household who will take the dog out uses the same cue phrase.

Continue using your cue phrase while the puppy goes potty, until he is completely finished.

Once he is done praise him and give him affection and a small treat. If he does not go potty within five minutes take him back inside and put him in his kennel.

Wait fifteen to twenty minutes and try it again.

Throughout the day you will need to repeat this process once every hour, even when your puppy has not eaten.

Each time your puppy has successful potty venture praise him and allow him to have some supervised play time.

At bedtime your puppy should be locked in his kennel. While he is still young you might want to move the kennel into your bedroom at night, to make both the puppy and yourself feel more secure.

Do not feed or give and water to your puppy near bedtime and try to get him to go potty before you turn in.

However, when he is small you may want to set an alarm to go off at least once during the night so that you may take your puppy out to the potty area.

Some more words about Dogs and puppy Training....

With few exceptions this plan should work to have your puppy trained within a few days.

If you still have problems you may need to adjust your schedule so that it better suits his needs. Remember that even the best trained dogs have accidents while they are young, so be patient.

Keep a good supply of floor and carpet cleaner on hand to deal with any messes the puppy might make in those first few years.

Also, never demean or punish your puppy for accidents. They are just that, accidents.

He is not purposely disobeying you. All he wants is your love and approval, the more of that you are able to give to him the more he will behave in a positive manner.

Once You Learn My Simple Techniques for Unlocking Your Dog's Natural Intelligence you will be amazed at how quickly problem behaviors disappear and your dog starts to obey you!

how to take care of your puppy

hidden intelligence’ inside their dog

Let's talk first about your new puppy here.

You and your puppy

Getting a new puppy is a fun and interesting time. You probably went to a breeder or pet store or maybe just saw an ad on the Internet or the newspaper, for puppies, and decided just to check it out.

Before you knew it those little eyes and fluffy puppy fur had your heart melting and you were headed home with him or her in your arms.

If you are like most new pet owners you had visions of playing fetch with your dog, of watching him frolic at the lake, and of cuddling up on cold nights.

However, you probably failed to realize that the behaviors you dream of in a dog do not come naturally.

In fact, the more natural behaviors for most puppies include lovely little things like chewing up your favorite shoes, barking every second of the day, and peeing wherever they are when the mood strikes them.

These behaviors might seem cute at first, or even manageable but, if left unchecked they can lead to a very bad adult dog.

Some problems with puppy training

The problem with puppies that are not trained is that they grow into untrained dogs.

An untrained dog can be a nuisance. All of that cute little yipping can quickly become loud barking that keeps you and your neighbors up for nights on end.

The little teeth marks in your shoes can turn into destroyed furniture and a destroyed home before you know it.

Likewise, those cute little puppy poops are not so cute when the dog is 75 pounds and has the excrement to match.

Untrained dogs can also be very dangerous. All dogs can bite. It is in their nature to defend with everything they have, including their teeth. We need to eliminate bad behaviors in dogs and train well behaved, obedient, loving dog.

You have to teach your dog not to use their teeth so that no one winds up hurt, at least not when they are playing with them.

While we all expect our dog to protect us in a worst-case scenario situation, you should train your dog to be non-confrontational.

Dogs that pose a danger to the community are at risk of being put down.

additionally, dogs that are problematic for any of the reasons listed above often wind up homeless. People grow tired of dogs that never grow up, and then they take those dogs to the shelter.

We all know how sad life can be for a shelter dog and the end that many of those dogs meet. If you really love your new puppy and intent to have a long and happy life with it, train her.

By training your dog you teach him/her how to live in your world and increase the likelihood that your life together will be long and happy for the both of you.

Dogs have been domesticated around the world for more the 15,000 years. Because of this long term of human companionship the puppy that you adopt today needs you.

Dogs are not truly able to live by themselves in the wild. They are not adapted to living outside and foraging for food. surely the dog you adopt today needs you and years to please you.

That desire to please their master is the reason that dogs are so easily trainable, if you can give train them well and accurately.

The dogs that we have as pets have what is called social intelligence. This enables them to read your visual and verbal cues and adapt their behavior to it.

I will recommend a website where you can get professional help regarding the best training of your dog

While each dog will train at a different pace and through different ways, nearly all domestic dogs are trainable.

Do you know, Just like humans, dogs go through a series of cognitive development. Puppies, like babies, learn to interact with the world around them at around eight weeks of age.

They will also mimic behaviors early in life, you will wonder, but if you have one well behaved dog your puppy can learn from it.

If this is your only canine do not worry, they will also learn by watching you. Just like parenting, dog training is something that often happens while you are paying attention to other things.

So, those first few months that you have a puppy are an incredibly important time to really focus on training your dog. It can be a lot of work but in the end both you and your dog will be happier.
