Business Issue

A leading leisure retail organization in the holiday home ownership sector faced growing
pressure to improve sales performance amidst challenging economic conditions. The sales
approach across locations had evolved organically, with no unified structure, consistent
process, or shared metrics.

Salespeople were operating independently, making it difficult for leadership to identify what was working, who needed support, or how to scale success. Without clear KPIs, managers lacked visibility into performance, and sales coaching was inconsistent at best. The absence of a standardized approach limited both customer experience and business agility.

Recognizing the need for change, the senior leadership team sought to introduce a more forward-thinking, performance-driven culture—while preserving their strong customer-first identity. They needed a solution that would align sales behavior, strengthen leadership capability, and build long-term consistency across the business.
