Case Study

  Our client is a large regional petroleum products supplier. The company operates service stations and has a significant wholesale business. We were asked to review their sales efforts in the wholesale business and create a more organized, effective approach.

We first did our "Sales System Analysis" and made a series of recommendations. The client elected to contract with us to implement those recommendations. Over a period of several months, we:
  • Worked with the IT department to create the necessary reports in order to measure sales behaviors.
  • Created a new job description for field salespeople.
  • Created a new compensation plan for the field salespeople.
  • Created a sales management system, and then trained the respective branch managers in the use of that system.
  • Developed a process for recruiting, interviewing, and hiring sales people.
  • Implemented that process, and assisted the client in hiring 7 new sales people.
  • Created a unique sales training program consisting of a combination of our
    • self-study sales certification program
    • live monthly training sessions
    • Up-a-Notch™ video training kits.
  • Worked with the client to develop and implement a "prime vendor" program.
The net result?

"The results have exceeded everyone’s expectations. In the first full year, the program has been responsible for generating $5,000,000 in new sales and acquiring 658 new customers."
