“We hired LSA to help align our sales strategy with our business strategy to sustain our hardware business while driving high growth in software and services. LSA’s ability to measure our level of strategic alignment, pinpoint areas of leverage, and get the entire executive sales team to agree upon what matters most exceeded our expectations.

I would recommend them to any sales leader who wants to drive sales performance.”

“We selected LSA Global over several other sales providers based upon their ability to clarify and align our sales strategy, their expertise in identifying the critical business sales training scenarios necessary to meet our growth targets and their willingness to stand behind the results with targeted sales 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 head of sales looking for a true partner.”
Anthony Lanham | SVP, Sales North America | Jumio

“I have been to so many strategic sales planning sessions over my career that were a complete waste of everyone’s time.  I was very skeptical.

I have never been part of such a compelling, outcome oriented, and valuable session. Given the complexity and intensity of what we faced, I’m very impressed.

We made a ton of progress on alignment and clarity.  You should be very proud of how you are helping us.  Thank you!”

“LSA’s ability to get a group of 20+ executives from around the globe on the same page, push their thinking to new heights, and ensure an executable plan was excellent.

I would recommend LSA to anyone looking to take their leaders and sales execution to the next level.”
Rob Sturgeon | Executive Vice President | ServiceSource

According to a recent McKinsey study, a high-performing sales force can boost its share of a customer’s business by 8 to 15 percentage points.  What would that do for your business?

Today’s sales leaders and sales teams are facing increased performance pressure to meet aggressive sales targets, thwart increased competition, raise the talent quality bar, and align with new go-to-market sales strategies.  Executives tell us that sales leaders need to thrive in four key areas:

  1. Develop and execute winning go-to-market sales strategies
  2. Create a high performance sales culture that drives the sales strategy forward
  3. Instill common sales methodologies, practices, and processes to deliver more consistent results
  4. Attract, develop, engage, and retain top sales talent at the right pace

What the Sales Research Says
Our Organizational Alignment Research found that sales leaders who align their sales culture and sales talent with their sales strategy grow revenues 58% faster, are 72% more profitable, have 9-1-to-1 greater leadership effectiveness and 16.8-to-1 higher employee engagement levels.

The highest performing sales leaders:

  • Create go-to-market sales clarity by ensuring all key stakeholders clearly understand the go-to-market sales strategy, have no doubt that leadership is fully committed to the strategy, are highly responsive to change, and believe the sales, marketing, product and service teams are consistently implementing the strategy successfully throughout the organization.
  • Build high performance sales cultures by ensuring their teams clearly understand the desired sales culture, frequently observe the majority of sales leaders modeling the desired behaviors, regularly feel the sales culture motivates top performance, repeatedly receive and share information in a timely manner, and continually believe decisions demonstrate a healthy short- and long- term perspective.
  • Differentiate top sales talent  by ensuring their teams believe the quality of sales talent creates a competitive edge, repeatedly observe the company hiring top sales talent and retaining the majority of their top sales performers, continually have unfettered access to the resources necessary to meet their sales targets, and reliably respond positively to required changes in the business and in the marketplace.

Our research-backed, proven, and systemic approach to sales performance helps sales teams get pointed in the right direction, purposefully shape the sales performance environment for everyone to perform at their peak, and effectively build a differentiated sales force that creates a competitive advantage for you and your customers.

At the onset of our engagement with LSA, I was skeptical that an outside firm would be able to understand and dissect our organization’s highly complex and technical business challenges.

However, through the leadership team interview and strategy retreat processes that LSA utilized, they provided a fresh, innovative, and practical perspective that created tremendous strategic value and focus for our executive leadership team.

As a result, I would highly recommend LSA Global to any leader struggling with building the strategic alignment and high performance teams necessary to generate sales growth, in a way that fits their unique corporate culture.

LSA Global demonstrated excellent expertise in sales and sales leadership, spent the time required to make sure the objectives were clear, and showed flexibility in shaping and sustaining everything that they did.

They “MEDRADized” the session to meet our unique needs, looked beyond the obvious, and got the key points across in a way that made sense.  Thank you!

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

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 partnered with LSA to help custom design, deliver, and measure an advanced new employee on-boarding process. It was well thought out and bought into by sales leadership.  The combination of targeted sales tools, technology, coaching, performance plans, training, and reinforcement made all the difference.  The solution quantifiably improved new employee and hiring manager satisfaction and increased the speed to sales quota for new hires.

I would highly recommend LSA Global for any sales enablement team looking to increase the engagement and speed to productivity of their sales force. We are excited to implement the program globally as we continue to scale.
