17 years of planning for London 2012 – Planning lessons for Selling


To bid to host an Olympic and Paralympic Games, plans have to be made well in advance.

 For example yesterday before the London 2012 games have finished, the Kenyan Prime Minister announced that Nairobi will be bidding for the Olympics for 2024.
The current London 2012 games were awarded back in July 2005.
The final bidding cities were Paris, New York, Madrid Moscow and London but preliminary planning for 2012 began as far back as 1997.
Each Olympic Games host sets the bar higher for the following host city. Beijing set it high for London and London sets it high for Rio
Much like today’s Business bidding processes of RFI and RFIs, much planning is involved in modern selling.

So it is for the principles of day to day selling.

Professional salespeople need to plan the year, quarter, month, week and day.
