Understand your issues

Working closely with you we will initially conduct a detailed and thorough analysis of the current position and the desired future position of your company in terms of the level of maturity of the go-to-market model and the associated processes.

Additionally we can look at your client base to see what they want from the business and we can look at the competitive landscape to understand the pressures this will create.
Analysis & assessment process
Consequently, by looking at a picture of the business today, and comparing it with a number of views of the desired future position, we are able to establish an accurate gap analysis.  This provides a quantifiable view of what the business in its current state can achieve together with a picture of what is required to achieve the desired goals, plans and budgets.

All this provides a unique picture of your company and an accurate view of the issues requiring attention; a valuable deliverable, providing an independent view of the strategic options and potential of the business.  It also provides the key source of information for the plan of action from which we design a Sales Performance Transformation programme for you.

Assess your Sales Maturity

The starting point for any Sales Performance Transformation assignment involves a diagnostic; a process of analysis and assessment built around the Performative Sales Maturity Model.  The model has been developed specifically to facilitate the evaluation of a company and its sales performance potential.

Sales Maturity Assessment The diagnostic is achieved through the application of our Sales Maturity Assessment (SMA) process and provides a total view of a company’s selling capability and its selling capacity.

I will make contact The output provides a valuable deliverable in its own right, as well as forming the foundation for a Sales Performance Transformation programme in which we develop and implement an end to end rigorous go-to-market model that will help you to achieve more predictable revenue, of the right quality, right quantity and at the right time.

If you're not sure that an SMA is the appropriate next step for you, why not request our short on-line Self Assessment *   It could give the best return on an investment of 5 minutes that you've received in a long while.  You will be able to identify areas where you can take action, get immediate feedback, and also receive a more detailed response enabling you to prioritise the issues.

Focus your Market Proposition

One of the most common areas which can impact your business’ stability is the proposition; its presentation, how you choose markets and the mix of channels used to take the proposition to those markets.

“There is only one valid definition of business purpose;
to create a customer”  Peter Drucker

The go-to-market model is the foundation of the Sales Strategy & Plan which must deliver the goals of the Business Strategy & Plan.  The implementation of a controlled plan of selling actions is the only way to ensure the business routinely achieves its goals and aspirations in a sustainable and repeatable manner.  Such predictability is an important foundation for any healthy business.

Recognise your Customers

What is a Customer? A real customer is an advocate and more importantly, someone who sees you and your company as an essential part of their business. To create such customers they need to understand what they will get by buying from you – they must understood the value.

Market Focus Review So, in order to obtain maximum return from your sales and marketing resources in achieving the goals you have set, we will work with you to ensure that your proposition is optimised, your target markets are carefully chosen for the proposition, your routes to market match the needs and demands of the market, and all three are congruent.

As a result of the process we will provide all the basic information required to create a Sales Strategy & Plan for the company.  Equipped with that plan the company can pursue its growth objectives with some degree of confidence in their likely success.

Within this part of our solution we can also undertake Market Intelligence assignments typically with the purpose of identifying and defining new markets.

For help with defining the sales strategy and plan for pursuing your growth objectives, with real customers, get in touch now! *

Unlock your Potential

To fully achieve your potential, you need to address the root causes rather than just the superficial symptoms.

"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse;
however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming,
I help you become that"  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Most solutions to improving selling performance focus only on the individuals who meet the prospects and typically only on their skills at the “point of sale”.  While improving the selling skills of the individuals is likely to be a part of the solution it is rarely, if ever, the whole story.  Focusing on the problem at this level looks only at the symptoms not the root causes.  Approaching this the Performative way deals directly with the root causes.

Our research has identified that barriers and thus solutions to performance can be categorised into eight key elements (click on an element to drill down):
Market Intelligence; market analysis, competitor research, customer surveys, secret shopping Getting the best from your people; recruit & select, induction, training & development Market Focus Review; your target markets are carefully chosen for the proposition, your routes to market match the needs and demands of the market Market Intelligence; profiling, phone & desk research, ROI, business case Complete Sales Process; the structure and performance of the Go-to-Market model, i.e. all of those activities associated with first creating customers and then selling your product, service or solution to those customers Sales Methodology; market focus, prospecting for customers and opportunities, creating customers and growing them into strategic accounts, and creating, identifying and successfully pursuing opportunities Market Focus Review; proposition is optimised to the needs and demands of the target market Working with the Leadership Team; coaching, mentoring, strategy, KPIs
Your individual solution will address every aspect of the company that can contribute to or influence the performance of the selling operation.  It will be designed and built around Performative Structured Selling®, a selling methodology focused on the needs of suppliers working in high-tech and other sophisticated market sectors. Performative Structured Selling® is built from standard components within a framework which we then tailor to the needs of the individual customer. This enables us to deliver a custom solution quickly and cost effectively, incorporating those components that are already established and working well within your existing processes.

Fix your Performance Problems

To address the root causes of your problems we design a solution to create a balance in the eight elements which impact performance. Our approach is designed to provide our customers with sustainable and measurable improvements, not short-term fixes.

We believe that each customer situation is different and to provide real differentiating value we tailor our Sales Performance Transformation programmes specifically to meet the needs of the individual customer. Using the principle of components within a framework, our approach is:

  • To re-use what is working well
  • To improve and enhance where necessary
  • To add new components only where there are gaps

What you get is a fully integrated sales and marketing operation designed and deployed by Performative to match your particular needs, delivering a fully operational, practical system for reliable, consistent and sustainable performance improvement to your business.
