“If you focus solely on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.”
Jack Dixon
International “big box” retail client with a focus in Appliances, Computing and Entertainment needed to vastly improve customer conversion as well as increase retail basket size and margin rates under tough economic circumstances.
CASE STUDY | Results-Oriented Sales Model

Reduced foot traffic in stores threatening topline sales and putting more pressure on margins.
Decentralized management of physical stores.
No consistent sales model or approach to training as sales training was provided by suppliers.
“Solution Selling” (i.e. relationship-based selling) was not common language.
Minimal learning platform for employees and no platform for best practice sharing.
Lack of analytics support and training to utilize the right metrics for program goals to sell to more customers, more profitably.
