Posted on October 15, 2018 by admin in Coaching, Learning and Development, Performance management, Sales, Training No Comments

One of the differences we have noticed in our conversations with sales managers over the last few years, is that there is a real acceptance that the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to selling simply doesn’t work anymore – not unreasonably, customers and prospects have increasing expectations that a salesperson should tailor their pitch to them. This can […]

Making every interaction count!

Posted on October 12, 2018 by admin in Performance management, Personal Development, Sales, Training No Comments

A simple, but highly effective model that might just transform your life… How often do we sit in a meeting (obviously organised by somebody else…) and think “why am I here and just what am I getting from it?” When you walk away at the end of the interaction still none the wiser, do you […]

3 ways to protect your margin

Posted on April 25, 2017 by admin in Negotiation, Professional services firms, Project Management, Sales No Comments

When I talk to commercial leaders they frequently focus on the issue of margin. And that’s not surprising – arguably, it’s one of the most important ways in which businesses can protect their profitability, long-term growth and ultimately marketplace survival.

Posted on February 14, 2017 by admin in Coaching, Leadership, Performance management, Sales, Training No Comments
Throughout 2016, we’ve had the pleasure to talk regularly to sales leaders across the world about what are the best ‘levers’ to pull, in order to create high-performing sales teams.  It’s probably no surprise that there isn’t a single magic ingredient — it’s a powerful combination of people and processes, of planning and partnership, of [...]
