As a sales leader, driving the execution of your sales team is critical. It requires discipline, and the ability to manage your team in the long term. SBI recently interviewed Scott Tapp, the executive vice president of global sales, marketing and field operations at PGi about this topic. Watch as Scott discusses the critical disciplines of sales strategy execution.
Scott will start the show by discussing how he cascades the corporate level objectives into field objectives. He speaks about the importance of alignment and clear communication with the field to ensure his sales strategy is being executed.
Next, he’ll discuss tracking daily progress and driving daily behavior. How does he report on KPIs? And how are his sales managers driving their rep’s activity? He’ll touch on meeting cadence as well. He’ll explain what’s discussed weekly, monthly, and quarterly with his sales team. He’ll wrap up the show by discussing strategy planning. How does he develop both his annual operating plan, and his multi-year strategy?
Connecting your sales strategy to execution is the key to achieving your revenue growth goal. Watch as Scott walks our audience through the steps to take to ensure sales execution. He will demonstrate emerging best practices to use to achieve both alignment and execution across the organization. If, after watching, you need more help, download our 10th annual workbook.
