Achieve year-over-year sales growth

Step 1:

Analysis

The Analysis phase is a deep dive study of the current state of your business from a sales perspective.

FTR meets with your key stakeholders and internal groups to gain an understanding of the current situation. The final report provides details of what we uncovered and the opportunities that may exist to improve sales.

Some of the key areas we explore during the analysis are:

• Sales processes and systems
• CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software
• Compensation and quotas
• Sales team and the Sales Department structure
• Tracking results and team member support
• Growth within your existing customer base
• The Marketing Plan

Step 2:

The Sales Plan

The Sales Plan provides details of the processes and systems you can implement to drive predictable, profitable sales growth.

The plan articulates strategies to implement with key milestones:

• Development of your Key Differentiating Factors and Value Proposition
• Proven multi-step sales process that demonstrates the value of your product or service to your prospective customers
• Pay for performance compensation model
• 1^st year revenue projection expected from implementing sales processes/systems
• Establishment of revenue quotas for sales reps
• Sales Structure (new business development vs existing customer penetration)
• Sales Performance Metrics
• Structure of one on one meetings with sales reps
• Sales meeting structure
• CRM system usage and dashboards
• Monthly/quarterly Forecasting Cycle methodology
• Strategic Account Planning
• Personnel changes
• Performance Development model to proactively support and manage under performing team members

Step 3:

Implementation

The Implementation Plan is where your FTR consultant executes the Sales Plan deliverables.

FTR implements the recommended processes and systems in the capacity of a part time Vice President of Sales for your company.

To ensure the recommended processes and systems are fully implemented and adopted within your sales organization, FTR remains in place as a contracted part time Vice President of Sales for a period of 8 – 12 months. Your FTR Consultant tracks and presents key metrics and results on a biweekly frequency to your executive team.
