Why “More” Isn't Always the Answer to Hitting Sales Goals
More Isn't Always Better
You know it's coming again—the pressure to hit ambitious sales targets. Your sales team is paddling hard against the rising tide, and you're starting to feel like you won't hit the numbers.
So what's the typical response when numbers fall short?
Add more. Do more.
More leads. More bundles. More campaigns. More contacts. More meetings. A whole lot more hustle—and stress. And when you still can't hit the target, you ask for more things to sell—or more people on your team.
It's a completely natural human reaction. When something falls short, our instinct is to add more to fix it.
But, here's the twist: More Isn't Always Better. In fact, it often masks the real issue.
The Sprinkler Analogy
Imagine you have a sprinkler system with hidden leaks underground. One day, you notice dry patches on the lawn. So, you crank up the water pressure. Still dry? You add more sprinkler heads. Run the system longer.
Still not working.
The problem isn't pressure or coverage—it's the leaks. Water is escaping where it matters. So, no amount of extra hardware or force can fix a system that's broken at its core.
The same thing happens in Sales. Instead of fixing the leaks—the lost deals, the missed follow-ups, the silent drop-offs—we keep piling more into the top of the funnel, hoping something sticks.
But what if, instead of just feeding the beast, we also focused on sealing the leaks?
A Small Fix, a Big Win
What if improving your close rate by 5–10% could double your new revenue?
For many companies, that small lift could mean millions in additional sales—without adding headcount, burning out the team, or ballooning the budget.
The truth is, “more” is expensive. And often, unnecessary.
Your Pipeline Has the Answer
The real answers are already in your pipeline. In the data you already have—especially in the deals you didn't win.
What if your CRM could show you where deals consistently stall? What objections keep coming up? Which parts of your process need adjusting? Or what training your team really needs?
That's where the gold is.
Fix those leaks, and you can unlock massive, scalable growth.
It's not rocket science. It's just a shift in focus—from "doing more" to "doing better". Yet few companies take the time to look under the hood.
