Validation of Sales Strategy

Validation of Sales Strategy
Los Angeles, USA 2013

We conduct a management audit of your sales function’s goals and objectives and ensure alignment with the business strategy of the whole organisation.  We ascertain the cultural values that Sales Managers must exhibit in order to work effectively in your business; and in what direction they should lead the sales function.  Part of this is to create a ‘Success Profile’ with you to outline what the key sales executives must be able to do now and in the future.

In a recent example of an engagement in this area, our client’s sales strategy included many different channel partners.  We were able to validate the approach, but recommended much closer management of the various partner organisations.  We instigated a system for ensuring consistency in reselling, common reporting systems, and a coaching and mentoring framework to support the channel partners.

We provided specific advice for our client’s senior Sales Executive on how best to ‘manage’ the partners in the absence of direct line authority over the virtual teams, by projecting personal confidence and expert knowledge and demonstrating leadership.
