How can you control the impulse to chase opportunities that don’t serve the long-term needs of the company?
The key is in establishing the criteria that help you identify the high-potential opportunities, and to develop them as a group so that everyone buys in to them. The criteria that we propose are all encompassing so for an opportunity to be implemented it needs to:
1) drive profitable sales 2) clearly focus on your customers needs and 3) be in-keeping with the long-term vision of your company. By identifying these criteria and making them know to everyone, you can eliminate rogue innovators and keep everyone focused on logical, lower risk opportunities.
