Analyse State-of-play

In order to better define sales team needs and identify their expectations, preliminary analysis and diagnosis are essential. These will serve as a solid basis for establishing a relevant and well-targeted action plan.

  • We deploy a series of mystery shoppers who visit a sample of sales points and digital channels to assess customer experience and commercial failures

 

  • Depending on the client's priorities, mystery shoppers can focus on specific products or the overall sales experience

 

  • We organize one or more focus groups (depending on the size of the organization) with a selection of salespeople in order to evaluate their "customer" vision, their understanding of the challenges they face, as well as their sales practices. The information collected will be structured around processes, tools, skills or postures, and managerial practices.

 

  • We organize interviews with line or senior managers focusing on expectations and sales missions, to evaluate gaps in alignment, achievement of objectives, and other organizational obstacles
