Sales Performance Boost Revenue, Margin, Win Rate

“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.”
Dan Dica | SVP Worldwide Sales | OneSpan

“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!”
Dan Greene | SVP, Sales & Growth North America | Impossible Foods

“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:

Develop and execute winning go-to-market sales strategies
Create a high performance sales culture that drives the sales strategy forward
Instill common sales methodologies, practices, and processes to deliver more consistent results
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.

We originally engaged with LSA Global to help our subcontract administrators and buyers develop better negotiations skills. As manufacturers of satellites, we have many sole source companies to procure the required parts.

Our teams must be able to interact effectively with international companies. This environment uniquely challenges our team in their ability to create equitable contracts, while preserving and strengthening our supplier relationships.

LSA Global not only provided our team with the skills to negotiate effectively and consistently, but we further expanded our relationship to include consulting around our negotiations’ process, measurement of our negotiations, and one-on-one coaching for our team members. We are very pleased with the result of our partnership with LSA Global.
