Create a sales model for your organization that will define your sales process, your expectations for your sales team, and the critical stages essential in measuring progress.
We estimate that 90% of selling organizations today have not documented their sales process. If you are committed to improvement, defining your sales process is the foundation for raising the bar of your sales organization.
What is SalesMap?
The SalesMap Design Process is a highly interactive and engaging set of activities to help your sales team define their best go-to-market practices, and then document them as your organization's framework for selling excellence.
How SalesMap Works
Step One: Interview Senior Leadership Team
We interview members of your Senior Leadership team to understand your vision, the direction for your organization, the competitive challenges ahead, and what business issues the sales force is facing.
Step Two: Develop a Preliminary Model
We assist you to select master sellers, a process champion, and support team members whose insights and experiences will be used to shape the initial process map. This team will then participate in a highly interactive, fun, two-day design event to capture their views on customer expectations, and identify the best practices used most consistently to achieve sales objectives while exceeding customer requirements. A preliminary model is then prepared that reflects those best practices.
Step Three: Finalize the SalesMap
We finalize the SalesMap by calibrating and testing the sales methodology with the design team and other sales professionals who were not involved in the design process. This ensures understanding and buy-in across your selling team, and allows us to "clean" the model to ensure it aligns with your direction and future plans.
Sign-off and application follows, with roll-out to your organization dependent on your specific strategies.
