Sales Methodology Challenge

As Service Express moved upstream from targeting small business to mid-market companies, opportunity pursuit became more complex. Deals involved more buying influencers as well as more internal people engaged in the selling process, requiring a more sophisticated sales methodology to deal pursuit.

Sellers needed to be more strategic, collaborative, and proactive on how they identified key players and handled opportunities, yet many did not have the know-how. The pandemic introduced new challenges. Overnight, the team became distributed. For many, this was their first time managing and coaching a remote team. Prospects too, were working remote and were more cautious than ever making buying decisions.

The new normal compounded the need for strategic selling and a vigorous sales methodology. Sellers needed to be more attuned to each buyer’s needs to give them the best shot of being successful in advancing the deal.

Approach

Service Express required a consistent, easy-to-adopt sales methodology for coaching the team on strategic selling for their top deals, and a flexible tool to enable remote collaboration.

DealCoachPro was the silver lining that provided an easy-to-adopt approach to pursue Enterprise deals, helping facilitate remote deal reviews and drive strategic conversations for developing a game plan to win their most important deals.

With digital deal rooms, visual heat maps quickly highlight problem areas, the strengths & vulnerabilities and the collaboration hub enable the internal team to rally around deals, and the action plan captures the steps needed to advance the deal.

Sellers evaluate key players across five dimensions using weighted best practice questions to ensure they are nurturing relationships that matter. This buyer-centric approach to evaluating deal health introduces rigor and removes subjectivity for vetting an opportunity.

Unlike CRM systems that are data heavy, DealCoachPro uses deal visualization that enables efficient, productive, and smart deal review sessions. Deal pursuit is now possible anytime from anywhere.
