The Story.
20 years ago two gentlemen founded an IT telecom company.
After a few years these two founders realized that they needed seasoned salespeople in order to grow.
They brought in two additional partners who had extensive telecom sales experience.
While they continued to grow the owners began to realize they need to scale the business to stay competitive.
Their attempts at scaling the business by hiring experienced salespeople who already had contacts in the industry did not work out well as, after a couple years the "experienced" salespeople would leave for a better offer at a different company and take their clients with them.
Then the day came... one of the sales partners wanted out, the other three partners were going to be left with increased debt, as well as huge reduction (nearly 50%) in overall sales revenues.
They knew they needed to move and move quickly.
That's when Eureka Performance was called in.
On day one, the company's one and only seasoned salesperson gave us his two weeks notice.
The second salesperson had graduated from college the year before and had been in the saddle for about 10 months. And unfortunately, he was learning some of the CEO salesperson's, "bad habits."
The other two salespeople, were newly hired, fresh out of college and never sold anything prior to that day. That left three salespeople, none with any real time sales experience!
Challenge Description
Outline of the situation ->
The Solution - How we approached the challenge
Step 1 - complete company assessment
Where they've been and where they plan on going.
First, we did a complete company assessment to understand where they'd been and where they plan on going. We laid out a roadmap along with a strategic sales plan. And we started the construction of the sales systems and processes.
Step 2 - Put all the vital pieces together
CRM, Sales Playbook, Best Practices
Within six months, we actually had all the vital pieces together, we had the CRM in place, we had the sales playbook, we had an outline of the best practices for all seven steps of the sale. We started tracking and measuring sales performance.
Step 3 - Coaching and Training
A lack of sales training was one of the biggest hurdles that we had to overcome.
We realized that, with these young folks coming in with no experience, we had to teach them how to sell, we had to teach them the industry, we had to teach them what problems the IT managers have, we also had to teach them what solutions we had. And that was just overwhelming for these people fresh out of college.
Step 4 - Identifying the Important KPIs
Finding what really matters
What we learned was that the key performance indicator of the face to face meetings was exactly what we needed these young salespeople to focus on.
Getting in front of the IT managers in a face to face meeting at their office was the most difficult obstacle for the team.
Patrick worked for the Premier team as our out-sourced sales manager and business development coach. He created and implemented a sales processes that is not only unique but very effective as well. As a result of working with Patrick, he has helped our company increase sales one year over the next by more than 35%.
