We want to help. Many small and mid-sized companies face challenges in scaling their sales as they hit important milestones or require further funding rounds - or they can be faced with sales leadership gaps at transitional points, stalling momentum and overburdening founders and senior leaders.
Based on a wide scope of internal and external sources, we can craft a targeted sales process which aligns with your resources and goals, carefully positioning and messaging against competitors.
Clients can engage as much or as little support as needed - an especially valuable strategy for small-midsize companies with a limited budget that cannot yet justify full-time sales leadership headcount.
We bring unique "lived experience" - the wins and the losses - as important reference points to drive sales improvement by addressing gaps in your sales processes and implementing effectively.
We provide unbiased and objective perspectives, spotting blind spots and areas of improvement in company strategy and operations which can be invisible to founders and leaders.
We can provide valuable training and mentorship to internal teams, helping to accelerate development and learning to boost ROI.
1. Exploratory Call - a complimentary, 30 minute discussion to understand the larger context of your business and perceived pain points and opportunities. This allows us to determine whether we are a good "fit" for your needs. If we are not your best partner, we are happy to refer to another expert in our network.
2. Structured Interview - a complimentary, 60 minute discussion with deeper inquiry, getting further detail and texture on your challenges, understanding the business objectives and larger strategy/functional areas of your enterprise. We encourage multiple founders or leaders to participate.
3. Recommendations and Proposal - we will generate a formal review document that details recommended action steps, outcomes, deliverables, and
timelines with milestones. A pricing estimate accompanies this proposal.
4. Statement of Work Sign-Off - after joint discussions on details, an SOW can be generated as a cardinal document for reference.
The sales function and revenue generation can perform ineffectively due to a variety of factors such as poor messaging, inconsistent processes, lack of training, or complexity of the sales cycle. A sales health audit is a low-risk, short term project to gain important insight into pain points.
Depending on the findings of the sales health audit, we can execute on the recommendations at the level of sales process and implementation, or a deeper and more comprehensive sales strategy development.
Faced with rapid growth or transitional leadership changes in a business, a seasoned sales leader can provide stability for a limited duration at a reasonable cost until a full-time sales leader is needed.
Senior leaders often lack time and skills to mentor and teach their sales team on a 1:1 basis, identifying areas of growth and improvement while setting attainable objectives. We can help build this capability and drive new behaviors.
