In the FMCG space, a sales team needs to sell the present and the future to its retail partners because nothing erodes confidence between partners quicker than a supplier that misses the current and emerging needs of retailers. To ensure you have the right tools for your sales team to be empowered to sell, you need to invest in your sales competency model.
Our Expertise
Supporting Sales Teams
Sales team effectiveness is rooted in readiness for the opportunities of tomorrow. Is your team clear on what you need from them and how to get there?

Sales Team Learning and Development
What does investing in a sales competency model mean? It means investing in a mix of functional, day-to-day and leadership competencies that will serve as a roadmap for your sales team’s development and improved performance. In the supplier space, this investment must increase sales performance by providing the team with three necessities:
1. A common language for talking about your business with a focus on what matters to the retailer
2. A roadmap for individual development and performance for motivating field sales teams
3. A clearly defined capability map to ensure the success of internal and external recruitment

Where We See Existing Sales Models Fail
Most companies have a sales competency model, but as their teams move through the sales process, two things often become clear: the model is not future-fit, and the capabilities are not embedded in the daily activities of the team. Either gap poses an opportunity for re-assessment and strategic re-alignment with a future-based competency model.
