Sales training + manager coaching, 6 months
A field sales team of 40 was dependent on a handful of long-standing relationships. New territories produced activity but very few conversions, and reviews were spent explaining rather than planning.
A Getting Started in Sales programme for the field team, followed by monthly coaching for the four regional managers on how to run a review that changes the next call.
What changed
Discovery questions were standardised across the team, every open conversation received a committed next date, and reviews moved from status reporting to deal-by-deal coaching.
Managers reported more accurate stage data and fewer deals going silent. The client extended the engagement for a second cycle covering newly hired territory managers.
