Procurement officers confirm that the number 1 challenge for sales reps is demonstrating true value during sales visits. However, 64% of sales leaders struggle with uncovering the pain points of every member in the decision making unit, making it extremely difficult to deliver that value. These 2 insights are just a few of what Professor Deva Rangarajan from the Vlerick Business School uncovered during the Sales Force Effectiveness research. Take a look at the presentation to learn more about what great sales leaders have in common.

Selling the Future
Prof Deva Rangarajan
Just when companies were able to convince their salespeople about selling solutions, a recent study pointed out to the fact that solution selling was dead. This combined with the research on procurement professionals that suggests that face to face transactional selling was a waste of time indicates that sales organizations need to rethink their approach towards equipping their sales force with the right tools to be successful. In this session we will focus on tactics used by successful salespeople.
Product market fit is achieved by finding the successful intersection of product iteration, competition/market and go-to-market strategy. Finding product market fit (PMF), however, is hard when these three factors confound problem solving in the search for PMF.
Fortunately, competition tends to be roughly constant over the period in which a startup is solving for PMF. To control between product iteration and GTM, go-to-market can be broken into five sub-steps in any of which product changes are small enough not to confound. This allows GTM tactics and strategy to be tested and proven or disproven.
The five steps are first sale, founder sales, first sales person, sales leadership, scaling sales - each a distinct stage that can be tested and measured. There are metrics abound to measure sales performance, but many - including funnel conversion metrics, LTV and CAC - are fuzzy and imprecise in the early stages of a startup. What matters is whether a software business is adding adequate net new revenue per cash burned as measured by monthly increase in MRR per monthly net cash burned. Cash efficiency should go up at each successive go-to-market step.

As a product marketer how do you evaluate if you’re being effective? If you’re in marcomms, product management, sales or the CEO how do you evaluate if the role is being effective and properly supported?
Is product marketing judged on volume output such as leads, events, webpages or trainings produced? Are you being driven by “optics and politics” and “the way things are done here “or jumping on the latest trends and content tactics du jour.
How do you determine if your priorities are in the right place? If you are over or understaffed, if there are bottlenecks or organizational issues that inhibit effectiveness. Is your measure of success different at different stages of product/company development? Does product marketing in a start-up or for a new product get measured in the same way as a more mature one?
Are there common metrics regardless of company size or product maturity?
We’ll propose some straw man metrics and then organize the chaos that will likely ensue. So come ready to participate!
