What Does a Board Advisor on Sales Improvement / Interim Sales Director / Sales Improvement / Sales Support Specialist do?
Typically, I look at your sales challenges with unbiased yet informed perspective.
Having conducted an in depth Sales Insights Audit, you and I discuss the findings, and set about planning how we will address the gap in the results. The focus is on sustainable growth, looking at where you are versus where you’d like to be…
At this point we also agree what type of support you and your team might need to ensure your success – I like action, speed and results so am outcome focused in all projects as well as being keenly attuned to stakeholder engagement and team building along the way.
To date, my roles have been analysis, plan, action, results.
Whilst strategy and planning are critical parts of any engagement, I’m seen as someone who can get things done, after all, nothing is really going to change until we do the work that brings the results you need.
My role depends on what gaps you wish to fill:
- It could involve taking your aged sales to-do list off your desk.
- Maybe launching a new product.
- Revising pricing and sales strategy
- Driving new activity and performance measures / introducing sales performance management
- Being a proactive sales champion within the team developing new ideas and sharing progressive and modern sales/selling methods
- Working proactively alongside the sales team to flush the sales pipeline
- Proactively run cross sell campaigns to maximise revenues
- Identify and convert hidden/under-exposed revenue streams
- A sounding board for your senior sales team
- Introducing processes and heading sales transformations
- Providing a healthy bridge between sales and marketing
- Tackling a thorny sales issue that’s proving too distracting to be resolved under ‘business as usual’
Some clients require one day per week, others need 12 days over a month.
You chose, it forms part of our initial discussions and depends on the outcomes we agree.
My focus is on helping you achieve your sales goals. As well as building long term and sustainable sales and business development solutions within any business I work in. I do that via extensive knowledge transfer and collaborative working across sales (and marketing).
Achieving key goals as fast as possible, is also a key element of my work. As is ensuring the sales team stay motivated and onside.
