For the past weeks, you have managed the emergency in the face of the unprecedented crisis we are experiencing. As measures to stem the progression of the pandemic are being reinforced, you find yourself having to make increasingly critical and difficult decisions for your company and your people.
Recent crises have shown that decisions that are made during severe crisis are directly related to the ability to recover and the time it takes businesses to recover. While the context creates strong emotions in everyone, your ability to make more rational decisions than your competitors will make the difference in a few months.
This webinar is an opportunity to :
- Provide you with scientific data to help you make key decisions during the crisis;
- Prepare you to emerge from the crisis today, to develop or strengthen an advantage over your competition.

Ce webinaire s’adresse aux chefs d’entreprise et aux entrepreneurs ui sont déterminés….
*dire que c’est un drame humain avant tout. L’important c’est de sauver des vies!!! Ensuite de sauver des entreprises, des emplois et l’économie. Aujourd’hui, les personnel infirmier, les médecins et les. chercheurs son nos héros. Toutefois, ce sont les entrepreneurs qui se seront au copieur de la reprise.
Votre réaction. Face à l’apocalypse
Nous avons plongé instantanément dans une récession
Nous ne l’avons pas vu venir
Ce que l’histoire peut nous apprendre : Nous avons vécu ce genre de situation avant : 2008-2009 : banques faisaient faillite, 2001 : bulles techno, 1981-82 crise des taux d’intérêts à 18,25%,
En croissance forte et rapide : transport, équipement médical, pharmaceutique, soins de santé, logistique, produits alimentaires (excepté les traiteurs), logiciels pour travail à distance;
Disparu, du moins temporairement : tourisme, aviation, évènementiel;
Les affaires continuent : toutes les marchés ;
Note : #3 les vendeurs doivent travailler 2-3 fois plus fort (pour bâtir le pipeline)
Business as usual : build a pipeline now for when we are bump. They will need to get a head start (continue selling)
Note : Le 1er réflexe est de couper les dépenses et préserver son cash flow (bon réflexe), ensuite d’aller chercher des subventions… mais faut-il vraiment compter la dessus. Il faut croitre les ventes! Il faut agir sur ce qu’on contrôle!
Competing on price, cruising along, taking orders, selling transactionally = they are dead
The only salespeople that will succeed will be the ones selling consultatively and can sell value!
It will be a race to the bottom. Buyers will squeeze price.
ce qui a fonctionner depuis 2-3 ans ne fonctionnera plus… les seuls vendeurs qui pourront avoir du succès sont les vendeurs consultatifs qui peuvent vendre la valeur et se différencier.
This isn't a pretty picture because it basically shows that except for the top 5%, most salespeople suck at selling value.
There are four reasons for this:
They aren't following or using a sales process that supports Value Selling - only 45% of all salespeople have Sales Process as a strength.
They aren't using a consultative approach and value selling won't work without one - only 15% of all salespeople have Consultative Selling as a strength.
Their Sales DNA doesn't support consultative or value selling - only 28% of all salespeople have Sales DNA as a strength
The company hasn't been decisive about not discounting - it sends conflicting messages.
You can't really get salespeople to properly and effectively sell value until they have been trained on sales process, consultative selling and been coached up on Sales DNA.
Note : pas facile, besoin de valider ses décisions - la meilleure façon est en utilisant notre analyse de la force de vente ou notre outil de restructuration des ventes.
Note : plus rapide de remplacer que de développer
Note : la bonne nouvelle c’est qu’il y aura plus de difficulté à trouver des candidats
Note : plus rapide de remplacer que de développer
Note : la bonne nouvelle c’est qu’il y aura plus de difficulté à trouver des candidats
Note : (CAN vs. WILL) - raconter l’histoire. il sera impossible de faire la différence
Note : pour intégrer le consultatif et vendre la valeur
