Diagnostics

In all our interactions with organisations and sales teams, part of our approach is to spend some time diagnosing the key challenges that they face and based on this diagnosis, design tailored programmes that address the underlying capability issues.

A key element of the Diagnostic approach is to conduct field based observations of the sales team and their interactions with customers. This allows us to assess what works well and where the capability gaps are.

As part of this process we also speak with customers to understand what they want from your organisation and your sales team.

As a leader within an organisation, it’s important to get a clear understanding of what is working and what is not before deciding on a strategic plan of action.

Quite often sales leaders will need to consider whether other parts of the business are aligned to support and encourage the desired changes identified.

The areas that can typically have greatest impact include the following:

• Reward and recognition systems
• Performance management systems
• Recruitment strategies
• Product marketing offerings
• Access to relevant information
• Proposal and tender response processes
• Key business performance indicators and measurement
• Reporting requirements and documentation
• CRM system and processes
• Organisational structure

As part of our Diagnostic approach we review these areas and provide recommendations to improve alignment and therefore the chances of success of any intervention.
