Our industry-expert sales and channel assessment, engagement and advice helps senior executives design, develop and deploy multi-channel sales strategies and custom solutions that optimize sales performance and grow revenue.
LSSA Sales Force Optimization employs the AIM revenue growth process, a proprietary three-phased approach to target your sales force for success:
Assess – rigorous investigation to identify opportunities and make recommendations for improving sales performance.
Improve – translate accepted recommendations into a practical communication and implementation program.
Measure – activitely monitor progress against a dashboard customized to the client and adjust plan for optimum results.
Advisory Services
Sales Force Optimization provides the client with all three phases of the AIM process: 1) Assessment and Recommendations; 2) Improvement and Communications Plan; and, 3) Measurement Dashboard for monitoring progress. Depending on the size of the sales organization this service requires one to four weeks of direct engagement over a period of one to three months, plus monthly or quarterly meetings to monitor progress and make adjustments to optimize results.
Sales Force Assessment – some clients only want an objective, expert third-party assessment and then have their own staff develop, launch and monitor their improvement plan. Our Sales Force Assessment is the foundation of the AIM process and provides the client with a clear understanding of the opportunities and recommendations for improved sales performance. The assessment is a rigorous investigation of stakeholder expectations, customer-facing functions, sales operations and selected members of the sales team. This is followed by a discussion on advisor insights and recommendations for improvement. Depending on the size of the sales organization this service requires one to three weeks direct engagement over a one to two month period.
