Konkurrencen øges og kampen om markedsandele har aldrig været hårdere i både modne og nye markeder. Prescriptive SellingTM er et perspektiv på hvordan man effektivt kan sikre vækst i sine salgskanaler gennem struktureret brug af data og aktivt lederskab. Prescriptive SellingTM er en salgsmodel der har bevist sit værd i en række skandinaviske og internationale virksomheder. Med udgangspunkt i faktiske cases, vil Qvartz fortælle om modellen og hvordan man i praksis kan sikre at ens salgsstyrke fokuserer på det som er mest værdifuldt for virksomheden.

COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE | Five lessons learned from working with
sales improvement
FIVE LESSONS LEARNED
1 Sales people will always priorities the customers they know and
thus companies seldom focus on what is most attractive
2 Sales people are always focusing on the products they know
instead of what is most attractive for the company
3 Sales people will in most cases respond immediately to incoming
customer requests and not effectively plan ahead
4 Customer and market intelligence is typically abundant in all
organisations but seldom leveraged effectively by sales
5 Sales management should focus on coaching the sales force,
however, often time is used more on administration or selling

QUARTZ+CO’s KEY BELIEFS ON CREATING GROWTH
Constricted growth agenda
Prescriptive growth agenda
Customer focus and time allocation is defined
independently
Sales reps are (primarily) chasing well-known
opportunities
Expectations and quotas are set against
historic performance
Customers focus and prioritization
is set top-down
Customers are selected based on importance
and unexploited growth opportunities
Sales reps are responsible for working
proactively with the prioritized opportunities
Expectations and quotas are set against
potential
TO
FROM
Sales reps are acting independently in their
territories
Management structuredly supports the sales
force through ongoing and focused coaching

BASELINE
"All companies have abundant market and customer
information available, very few manage to leverage
it to any real benefit for the sales force"

a clear picture of the market and customer opportunities

SALES FOCUS
"All sales organizations can improve their
customer focus with 20-30% typically doubling the
potential return from the resources applied"
1
18. 18
KEY BELIEF | Moving from a territory to a customer focus is critical to
ensure an efficient sales force
FROM: TERRITORY FOCUS TO: CUSTOMER FOCUS
'I am responsible for a set of prioritized
customers, expectations are set based on
the potential I manage and my
performance is tracked and incentivized
on those customers'
'I am responsible for a territory where my
expectations and incentives are based on
my historic performance'
19. 19
EXAMPLE | The customer focus can be implemented using a 'simple'
prioritization framework
Customer prioritisation framework
Externalattractiveness
Internal attractiveness

SALES TOOLS
"Ensuring the right capabilities and tools in your
sales force can more than triple the sales effect
without adding resources"

24. 24
KEY BELIEF | The CRM system should be at the center of all sales work –
but it will only work if you make it relevant and easy for sales to use
25. 25
EXAMPLE | Relevance can be create through a number of levers…
• CRM should replace all existing systems and tools (both IT and excel). This
will put significant requirements on the design and ease of use
• CRM should link with the ERP system in terms of sales information so the
sales force has access to relevant to latest sales information
Create sales force
point-of-entry
• CRM should allow for easy access to all relevant customer information that
can improve the individual sales persons effectiveness and targeting ability in
the market
• Cross selling leads and opportunities should be shareable between teams
Give access to
relevant external
customer
information
• CRM should be set up so that the individual sales rep can track own
performance to sales KPIs and bonus
• In addition it should ensure, that all levels of management can track the
project pipeline and follow-up accordingly on the ongoing status meetings
Ensure pipeline and
KPI tracking

SALES EXECUTION
"Single-minded focus on financial incentives and
top-down budget target is typically not enough to
create the needed motivation in a sales force"

KEY BELIEF 1 | Growth needs to be driven relentlessly top-down to be
successful
28. 28
EXAMPLE | Formal coaching setup's have proven a highly efficient tool to
drive a growth agenda in a sales force

'doing the right things'
31. 31
