Set the attribution model for sales underperformance management and understand its limits.
Designing Strategies to Manage Underperformance in Sales Teams
A working programme in sales underperformance management for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Most disappointing results in sales underperformance management trace back to an audience defined too broadly. Discounting solves a problem in the marketing and commercial practice discipline today and creates a larger one next quarter. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of marketing and commercial practice; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on sales underperformance management and revise it on evidence. Participants test their assumptions about the marketing and commercial practice discipline against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within marketing and commercial practice that were visible long before the incident. This programme builds sales underperformance management from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the marketing and commercial practice capability is examined from more than one functional angle. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
