Sales Force Effectiveness is Dead ... or is it?
Five opportunities for pharma to get ‘back to basics’ and immediately lift sales performance.
Blackdot are a full service benchmarking, consulting, training & advisory firm exclusively focused on lifting sales force effectiveness & efficiency. Blackdot exist to assist their clients to achieve more predictable, repeatable, and sustainable sales performance.
What makes them unique is their total fixation on the use of data-driven, evidence-based techniques to understand what does (and does not) drive sales performance.
By viewing the ‘sales engine’ holistically, as an ecosystem of component parts that work interdependently to impact sales results, Blackdot are able to identify the root cause of what’s inhibiting and enabling your current performance, including quantifying the payoff in actually getting it right.
Armed with this knowledge, Blackdot stand alongside their clients who engage them to define, implement and embed change programs that bridge the gap between ‘hoping’ and ‘knowing’ they’ll deliver top and bottom line performance improvement.
Our research reveals actionable ways for managers to (1) successfully manage salespeople’s avoidance of relatively large opportunities, (2) better understand the role of conversion uncertainty in salesperson decision making when prospecting, and (3) effectively manage salespeople’s decision making when prospecting by altering their benefit–cost calculus and uncertainty calibration and paying attention to salespeople’s portfolio characteristics. Furthermore, salespeople should be aware of the biases their past performance success and experience create in their decision making when prospecting.
B2B marketing is no longer a matter of delivering support tools and services to the sales organisation. The challenge for marketing is to take more of an independent role in B2B as a positioning driver. The loss of an extremely close, direct connection between sales and marketing also causes a loss in the alignment of sales and marketing investments for driving business. There isn’t necessarily sufficient marketing focus on generating revenue streams, as sales often ignores what will drive future revenue. B2B sales and marketing needs to re-align its objectives and priorities.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
