At the conclusion of the program you will have an action plan of what activities and behaviours will be continued, started and stopped.
Case Study
A Fortune 500 office automation and IT organisation decided to increase it’s shrinking margins. This could only be achieved through changing the behaviour of their direct sales team who focused traditionally on increasing the revenue results to increase commission earnings. Healthy commissions often resulted in eroded margins due to the practice of discounting / price reduction incentive selling. After the Continue-Start-Stop Selling Techniques program, the following steps were taken to change the behaviour of the sales team.
The following steps were weighted, agreed and implemented. Continue 1. Targeting top 100 key account base. 2. To apply solution based selling techniques via the use of the strategic selling blocks. 3. To move from transactional selling to relationship selling. Start 1. A commission plan rewarding 50% revenue target attainment and 50% margin target attainment. 2. An immediate sales training for the 60-80% of the team who are below 80% of their budget with weekly, monthly and quarterly prospect review sessions. The whole sales team to improve reporting to pursue the “what gets measured gets done approach”. Stop 1. Sales people spending 80% of their time behind their desks. The ratio should be 20% office and 80% field activity with their customers. 2. Accepting activity levels which are below the KPI target numbers. 3. The sales team caretaking unprofitable accounts.
