What we did
The business had been using SalesRelayTM as a recording and reporting tool for several years and FIT2SELL allows the application of this invaluable data to take sales management and sales performance to the next level.
The analytics from the Build-up phase led to a business improvement master plan containing the events, actions and activities to be undertaken to achieve the required changes.
The Results
- An increase in sales force efficiency of 10%
- Improvements in sales force activity aiming for an overall coverage of 85%
- Overall performance improved ahead of target in very difficult market conditions
