Doubling your building product sales in just two years may sound ambitious, but with a clear sales strategy and the right tools, it’s entirely possible. A proven blueprint from The Farnsworth Group shows that focusing on targeted outreach, pricing optimization, and strong after-sales support can accelerate revenue growth. Meanwhile, Building Radar Features can feed your team early signals on new construction projects, helping you pitch your products before competitors even know the opportunity exists.
A structured timeline keeps you on track. According to Indeed’s guide on increasing sales, setting quarterly milestones and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) creates accountability and momentum. You might also explore insights from Trustway Marketing on channel diversification and digital campaigns. Combining these proven tactics with real-time project intelligence from Building Radar Insights lays the groundwork for sustainable, twofold growth.
Step 1: Analyze Your Current Sales Performance
Understanding where you stand is the first step toward doubling sales. Start by gathering data on your current sales volume, average deal size, win rate, and sales cycle length. Use CRM reports or spreadsheets to benchmark performance over the past 12 months. Identifying your top-performing products and sales channels reveals where to focus your efforts. For instance, if one product line sells twice as fast in certain regions, you know where to expand.
Dig into win/loss analysis to learn why prospects choose you—or why they don’t. Feedback from lost deals can uncover gaps in pricing, product features, or service levels. Regularly review these insights in team meetings to refine your pitch. With Building Radar’s project data, you can compare your past wins against new tender opportunities, ensuring your analysis remains aligned with current market demands.
Step 2: Optimize Your Product Positioning
Your building products must speak directly to customer needs. Craft a unique value proposition that highlights your solution’s benefits—whether it’s faster installation, longer lifespan, or lower lifecycle cost. Conduct customer interviews or surveys to uncover key pain points: do they struggle with material shortages, high labor costs, or compliance hurdles? Tailor your messaging to address these concerns.
Competitive analysis is also critical. Create a simple matrix comparing your products against rivals on price, quality, and features. Identify areas where you excel—perhaps your products carry extended warranties or offer better technical support. Emphasize these strengths in sales collateral and online content. Product datasheets, videos, and case studies should all reinforce your positioning, making it easy for buyers to see the value in choosing you.
Step 3: Expand into New Markets
To double sales, you must reach more customers. Start by mapping adjacent markets—geographic regions, building types, or verticals—that align with your products. For example, if you specialize in commercial glazing, explore opportunities in multi-family residential or institutional projects. Research market size, growth rates, and regulatory requirements for each segment.
Leverage digital channels to test new markets before committing resources. Run small-scale ad campaigns or targeted email blasts to gauge interest. Measure response rates and website traffic from each campaign. When you spot a region or sector with high engagement, scale up your efforts: appoint local sales reps, attend regional trade shows, and partner with distributors. Building Radar’s global project coverage can help you pinpoint hotspots where your products are in demand.
Step 4: Diversify Your Sales Channels
Relying on a single sales channel limits your growth potential. Explore multiple avenues:
- Direct Sales: Your in-house team builds relationships and offers personalized service.
- Distributors and Dealers: Partners extend your reach into new regions or markets with established networks.
- E-commerce Platforms: Online marketplaces and web stores allow small buyers or DIY customers to purchase directly.
Each channel requires tailored strategies. For distributors, develop co-marketing programs and training sessions so they can sell your products confidently. For e-commerce, invest in product photography, clear descriptions, and simplified checkout processes. Track sales by channel in your CRM and adjust resource allocation quarterly. Building Radar’s CRM integrations ensure all channel data flows into one system for seamless analysis.
Step 5: Implement a Targeted Marketing Campaign
Digital marketing accelerates awareness and generates leads at scale. Use a mix of:
- Content Marketing: Write blog posts, whitepapers, and case studies that address builders’ pain points—like reducing installation time or meeting new energy codes.
- Email Drip Campaigns: Segment your list by job title or project type and send relevant content over several weeks to nurture prospects.
- Social Media and Paid Ads: Promote success stories and product demos on LinkedIn and industry forums to reach decision-makers.
Be specific in your calls to action: invite readers to download a ROI calculator, sign up for a webinar, or request a free sample. Monitor open rates, click-throughs, and conversion rates to refine your messaging. According to Quora discussion, consistent, value-driven content establishes trust—key for long-term revenue growth.
Step 6: Strengthen After-Sales Support and Customer Loyalty
Repeat business is faster and more cost-effective than new customer acquisition. Implement a robust after-sales program that includes:
- Product Training: Offer on-site or virtual training sessions on installation, maintenance, and best practices.
- Technical Support: Provide hotline access, video tutorials, and rapid-response teams for troubleshooting.
- Feedback Loops: Send surveys 30 and 90 days after installation to gauge satisfaction and identify upsell opportunities.
Loyal customers often become advocates who refer peers. Launch a referral incentive program—discounts, rebates, or marketing co-op funds—to reward those who bring in new business. Track referral sources in your CRM to measure ROI and identify your biggest advocates.
Step 7: Refine Your Pricing and Incentive Structure
Competitive pricing drives sales volume—but margin matters too. Conduct a price elasticity analysis to understand how sensitive customers are to price changes. Consider:
- Tiered Pricing: Offer volume discounts to large orders while maintaining higher per-unit prices on smaller runs.
- Bundling: Package complementary products together at a slight discount to increase average order value.
- Subscription Models: For consumables or maintenance services, consider subscription plans that guarantee recurring revenue.
Introduce performance-based incentives for your sales team, aligning their goals with company revenue targets. Clear commission structures and quarterly bonuses for hitting milestones motivate peak performance. Ensure your pricing strategies are transparent and easy for customers to understand.
Step 8: Build a High-Performing Sales Team
Your people are your greatest asset. Invest in:
- Recruitment: Hire reps with industry experience and strong relationships in target markets.
- Training: Provide regular workshops on product knowledge, sales techniques, and negotiation skills.
- Coaching and Mentoring: Pair new hires with senior sales leaders for on-the-job learning.
Set clear performance metrics—calls per week, proposals sent, deals closed—and review them weekly. Celebrate successes publicly to reinforce best practices. With Building Radar’s user-friendly templates for phone scripts and email sequences, new team members can ramp up faster and stay consistent in messaging.
Step 9: Leverage Data Analytics for Continuous Improvement
Data-driven decision-making fuels growth. Implement dashboards that track:
- Lead Generation Metrics: Source, volume, and quality of leads.
- Sales Funnel Conversion Rates: Percentage of leads moving from inquiry to close.
- Revenue by Product Line and Channel: Identify top and underperforming segments.
Schedule monthly strategy reviews to adjust tactics based on real-time data. When a new high-rise project appears on Building Radar’s platform, your analytics can trigger outreach to relevant contacts instantly, ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks.
