The high performance sales environment process provided powerful yet easily understood information on the factors effecting performance at Cisco. This process unified my team on the specific actions to improve performance.”

“The high performance sales environment diagnostic facilitated clarity on what actions needed to be taken in order to improve the performance of my team and why these actions would have the greatest impact. Importantly the process unified my senior executive team around these actions.”

“Given your unique circumstances, what high performance sales “MOVE”, made today, will have the greatest effect on the performance of your sales force?”
According to the McKinsey Quarterly, a top quartile performing salesperson is 14 times more productive than an average performer.
What creates a top performing salesperson? We know that there are over 70 possible sales strategy and sales management actions available to a sales executive at any given time that can significantly change sales performance. With so many options, it is not surprising that many sales forces get lost in and frustrated by impractical sales theories and expensive sales consultants and technology trying to make sense of it all.
Based on over 16 years of high performance research with elite institutions such as Harvard, the U.S. Special Forces, Cisco, Accenture, MIT, NASA, and Juilliard, we can help you identify the top two sales performance moves necessary to drive high sales performance. Our clients tell us that our practical and action-oriented approach provides clarity and structure while producing measurable sales results.
Typically clients turn to LSA’s High Performance Sales Environment Diagnostic, Consulting, and Training to:
- Understand how to “get more” from their sales force
- Determine how to best execute their sales strategy from a “people perspective”
- Identify the best “moves” to get their sales organization to realize its stretch objectives and sales targets
- Benchmark their current sales performance environment against high performance sales best practices
- Increase sales leadership accountability for sales performance improvement
- Understand, in detail, the dynamics affecting high performance in their sales organization or sales team
