Product Counselor
A leading global design and engineering firm indicated the need to enhance the skills of its salesforce, which was segregated into three levels by proficiency. The primary skill augmentation need was noticed for level one and level two salespeople in critical areas such as prospecting, ensuring consistency in the go-to-market approach, sustaining a sense of collaboration while working in teams, having a consultative mindset, managing key stakeholders, etc. The chief objective/business motive of sales skill development is to increase sales revenue.
After a comprehensive needs analysis, Wilson Learning designed two customized learning programs, The Counselor Salesperson (CSP) and the Sales Advantage Series (SAS), for level one and two salespersons, respectively. The training program also helped build a standardized go-to-market approach, which was previously nonexistent, to ensure customers receive a consistent and premium experience every time. E-mail tips and reminders followed the training to provide step-by-step skill development and transformation guidance. The programs included manager coaching to ensure immediate supervisors can oer timely support and substantive assistance to help their teams level up.
