Improve Revenues: Medical Supplies

Improving Revenue at a Medical Supply Company

Client Case Study

Situation

In an effort to boost revenues within accounts too small to be supported by the field organization and the distribution channel, this medical supplies manufacturer (Revenue: $100 million) decided to create a telesales team to sell their products direct.

Complications

  • New Venture: This client had never hired or built or managed a direct sales team.

Approach

  1. Hiring and Compensation: We recruited and hired the entire telesales team – both the manager and inside sales reps – and designed the compensation packages to align with the new venture.
  2. Target Client Profile: To ensure the company’s resources were concentrated on prospects with the highest potential returns, we analyzed the existing customer base and then designed a demographic profile for four categories of prospects.
  3. Strategy and Implementation: Once the target audience was defined, we created and implemented a telesales strategy for each qualified segment that included new systems and processes to help manage the sales department – including establishing productivity levels, performance measurements, and designing management reports.
  4. CMS: Designed the contact management system to manage the call process and house the key customer data.
  5. Leadership Development: Team leaders attended an accelerated program for managing, coaching, motivating, and retaining employees
  6. Inside Sales Skills: Telesales reps participated in and inside selling skills program, reinforced with monthly one-on-one coaching from our certified trainer.

We selected LSA Global over several other sales experts based upon their ability to clarify and align our sales strategy, their expertise in identifying the critical sales scenarios necessary to meet our growth targets, and their willingness to stand behind the results with targeted sales management training and coaching and a pay-for-performance guarantee.

They have become an integral part of my sales team as we rapidly scale. I would recommend them to any sales  leader looking for a true partner.

LSA was instrumental in making our worldwide sales meeting a success. They saved me a ton of time with ‘best in class’ solutions to meet our business objectives. Whenever I’m in a pinch, I can count on LSA’s dynamic team of sales trainers and consultants to really go the extra mile.

They truly understand the meaning of customer delight.  Thank you!

Originally, we launched a RFP to partner with a sales training provider to improve the sales skills of our global distributor network.

LSA Global challenged our thinking by suggesting we focus on the systemic sales strategy, culture, and talent factors that create sales success before we invested in the more symptomatic needs of sales skills and knowledge.

LSA Global identified the critical strategic actions to improve overall sales performance and then designed and delivered world class business sales training across the globe to help increase revenue and margin.

I’m so happy we took a more strategic approach to sales performance with LSA.  Thank you for making this fit our culture.

We needed a way to improve customer training. We had to reach a disparate group of people in a very short period time. LSA gave us a new training methodology and a better way to go to market with our customer training that improved their experience and our brand positioning.

LSA delivered exactly what we needed and exceeded our expectations.  Thank you.

Hinda Chalew
Vice President of Marketing

From beginning to end, LSA was as invested in making sure the program succeeded as we were. They not only met the needs of our sales organization, but they helped us meet our very tight launch deadline.

The consultant operated with the sense of urgency necessary to ensure that we were ready to roll the business sales training program in a way that made sense.

Without their dedication and sales expertise we would not have been able to launch the program with the success that we did. Thank you LSA for being a valued business partner!

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable.  They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”

David Fiano
Director of Merchandising

We turned to LSA Global to help us take our executive selling and solution selling skills to the next level.

Their ability to formally assess our sales situation, identify key sales skill gaps, develop a plan to measure the results, and fully implement a key sales initiative has been outstanding.

LSA delivers the full solution; not just sales training.  I recommend them to any organization looking to transform its sales force the “right way” to sell higher and wider.
