High Performance Sales TeamsImprove your sales team’s effectiveness and performance and get a high return on your investment.

Augere has a broad experience running people development programs in corporations. In this program, we work with commercial teams with the goal of achieving significant business results and a long term relationship with their customers.

We provide a diagnostic tool to sales teams that helps spotting top performers in the organization. This is used as a benchmark for all other sales team members and creates a ground field to identify which areas will have to be developed to achieve a high sales performance, both for the team and for its members. Individual coaching skills will also be developed to help achieving a stable and longtime lasting relationship with their customers. This will build a powerful commercial identity addressed towards obtaining sustainable results.

ereGoals

• Identify your sales team's growth potential and what will be the impact that will drive to significant business results.

• Create a commercial development plan that will help the team reaching business results and building long term relationships with your customers.

• Know what your sales team internal and external limitations may become an obstacle to achieve your business results and identify both individual and team strengths that will support reaching your goals.

• Develop leadership and coaching skills and learn how to apply them in commercial activities.

• Manage a personalized development plan for each sales team member that will help increasing efficiency and results.

• Boost the sense of identity as a manager or sales person and act upon it to build high quality and long term relationships as well as outstanding business results.

Target Audience

• Sales teams whose results show improvement potential.

• Managers who want to align sales teams with their targets and need to encourage them to be trustful and determined to achieve goals.

• Sales Team Managers who want to use the most advanced tools to get sales people who find their motivation in overcoming challenging goals.

• Sales individuals who want to have the most effective means to achieve their goals and build a constructive and sustainable relationship with their customers.

Methodology

• Augere works with the most advanced and innovative sales focused tools in the following areas: assessment, training, development, executive coaching and team coaching (Organization and Relationships Systems Coaching).

• We use tools to identify what are high performance factors that drive outstanding individual scores. This will enable organizations to learn what actions have to be executed.

• Coaches will escort sales executives through their individual improvement process and also while strengths are improved and weaknesses are managed related to their customer´s relationship.

Diagnostic

• Through this diagnostic stage we provide our customers with an accurate analysis of potential results improvement.

• We use most effective assessment tools designed by Profiles International. Assessment tools will allow us to identify sales teams and business results growth potential.

• Assessment Tools will provide what key behaviors are shown by Top Performers. This will be used as a benchmark reference or “Performance Model” versus all other team members.

• Individual results growth plans will be designed and implemented for each member of the team based on the “Performance Model”

How the Process Works

We first check what the improvement opportunity of your sales force is. We analyze current results and growth potential.

We build a “Performance Model” that shows what common behaviors for top performers are.

We measure every other sales team member compared to previously identified “Performance Model”. We then issue a management report for each sales person. This report shows potential development areas and what actions can be implemented to help them improving their performance.

We train managers how to obtain the maximum benefit out of these reports and will escort them during the first full year of this task.

We will implement TPST (Top Performers Skills Training) to empower leaders, managers and/or sales staff regarding the implementation of the new “Performance Model”. We will also provide sales coaching and sales team coaching programs full support.

Sales executive coaching

Managers will have a personalized development plan that will help them to be aware of their leadership potential. We will support managers to move their plans into actions in an effective way. We will encourage managers to obtain the maximum potential from their teams as they will learn how to use the assessment report in order to identify what development patterns will be required and how to put them into action.

Sales team coaching

We will support sales team development in order to provide your company with its maximum business potential. Teams will be aligned to achieve sales goals and will build a strong relationship among the members. Powerful aligned teams will carry a strong sense of contribution to a common project that will lead them beyond individual results.

Follow-up and Support

We provide group or individual support through both individual and team coaching sessions.

Return on Investment

We can provide return on investment measurements

that will help checking how the program implementation

impacts sales results both at individual or team levels.

We start providing and initial free-of-charge improvement

opportunity assessment to our customers. The assessment

will provide:

1- Potential growth through rising:

• ONE low performer sales person up to mid performer.

• ALL low performers up to mid performers.

• ONE mid performer sales person to high performer.

• ALL mid perfomers to high performers.

• ALL sales team to high performers.

2- Return on investment: How much value could be returned

to the company for every Euro invested in the program

if just one mid performance sales person could be

developed to a high performer or if the whole team

could become a top performance team.

Business Cases

I want to thank Profiles International for an excellent

job with us at the Contact Lenses Division. We have 45

sales representatives and our revenues related to that

product line grew from US$ 80,000 / month to over

S $ 1 million monthly six months later. In the second

year we have doubled our sales in the Division.

We are conscious of the fact that the Profile XT

Benchmarking Assessment we performed helped us

to better understand our sales people and to start

focusing on those areas that needed to be developed

in order to reach and overcome our goals as a result

of an adequate use of the Benchmarking Assessment

tools and the information we obtained.

I want to thank Profiles International Spain for the

work done at the OTC Division using the “Job Match”

methodology to collect information related to our

Pharmaceutical and Medical Top Performing sales

people’s strengths and development areas.

At Novartis, we decided to use your consultancy

work to identify what were our sales top performers’

features in each of our business areas and we built two

Performance Models that allowed us to benchmark all

sales representatives in each of our sales teams against

the model. We identified what were the strengths and

opportunity areas related to “being able, willing to and

doing the job” and found out what where the training

and coaching actions that were needed to achieve the

expected development. We then used your follow-up

sessions to monitor agreed actions effectiveness.

For us, it was very important that you could correlate

the assessment with our internal “Values and Behavior”

and “The 7 steps to sales” programs as we could then

know in much more detail what aspects we should

focus our actions on to consolidate behaviors and

achieve better sales results.

It was also key that our Area Managers got Individual

Management Reports for every sales representative

as it helped them in their day by day management

of the team. They also got the coaching support they

needed to achieve the high results provided by our

top performers.

My managers have provided me a positive feedback

regarding the information and recommendations that

were delivered to them and also regarding the follow-

up sessions that were scheduled to discuss how to get

the best of such information.

Project implementation in Spain was performed on a

78 Area Managers and Sales Representatives group.

The first diagnosis and assessment stage took 40 days

(running through April and May of 2010). Second stage

covered training and coaching for following 30 days

(June 2010). We then scheduled 3 follow-up sessions

in September 2010, January and March 2011.

Here are some of the results we achieved with this

project:

• Within each of our sales teams, we could get a

better understanding of our sales representatives.

This allowed us to know what the strengths were

and what areas we should focus our attention on

to improve performance.

• Our managers have now precise information about

how to manage each member of their team and how

to obtain the best out of their potential. They now

know better how to outline sales strategies based on

their sales representatives’ strengths. (i.e.: allocate

customers based on their skill or how close they are

related to the success or performance model).

• We can use now Performance Models to select new

sales representatives and align their profiles to the

model we identified through the assessment. This

way, we can insure that external people joining the

team show a better fit to our culture.

This project allowed us to link those success features

that sales people belonging to any of our teams

should have with the compatibility of all of our sales

representatives related to the Performance Model.

We could also learn how to manage them better to

show a higher performance and to insure us that new

recruited sales staff fitted within our demands.

I am convinced that repeating this job in one year and

a half will bring us incremental value, as it will show

what improvement opportunities we have and what

strengths will help us to improve our performance

and to adapt ourselves to the new requirements of

today’s demanding environment.

Lastly, I want to mention that I feel it’s quite

important also to move forward with the ROI (Return

on Investment) calculation model that we have

studied and debated, in order to understand and to

demonstrate in detail what the real impact of our

effort investing on training in our industry is.
