Six Sigma Thinking – The Better, Profitable Alternative!

This mindset recognizes that Six Sigma practical tools can uncover the root cause(s) of sales problems and challenges...that help make permanent improvements in the sales process. And, you do not need a full-blown, Six Sigma organizational program to implement these tools.

Since mid-1980 this thinking has been very prevalent in the manufacturing and engineering sectors. GE and Allied Signal have led the Six Sigma charge. Now, Six Sigma thinking is finding its way into the sales and marketing departments. And yes, there are similarities. For instance, manufacturing uses Six Sigma to produce products and sales organizations can use Six Sigma to produce customers. Companies like GE, Johnson & Johnson, Dow, Honeywell, Xerox, and Sun Microsystems are using the Six Sigma methodology to increase sales results.
