Learning When to let go and move on
Wednesday, 13th July 2022 | 09:00
As a result of joining this event the participant will learn valuable insights about the timing of deals, which will enable them to realise their short-term goals may be a barrier to future potential.
Recommended Audience
Sales professionals who have experienced loss of big deals or delays that have impacted their targets. Paying attention to the long-term vision and end results is equally as important as the short-term wins and losses.
Type of audience
UK and International
Description
Sometimes we get so focused on our immediate needs and short-term goals that we lose sight of the long-term opportunities. Join Damian as he shares a valuable and important example of when to let go and move on. Damian will also explore the psychology of letting go and moving on – even when it doesn’t feel right to do so. Corporate decisions made by large international clients can be devastating to your short-term targets, and we have to learn to let go of our emotional attachment to that deal. This enables you to remain focused on the long term vision and create deals from nowhere and also retain longer term opportunities.
CPD Points
Two (when attending live) or one (watching the recording)
Key takeaways
- How to let go and move on from your emotional attachment to deals
- How to remain focused on the long-term vision of the future
- How to grow profitable revenue from aborted sales

Creating a #Results-Driven Sales Culture
Tuesday, 19th July 2022 | 09:00
As a result of joining this event the participant will learn the importance of culture in the sales environment and how to create and reap the rewards from a #Results-Driven Culture
Recommended audience
- New business Sales leaders and Account Directors
- Any salesperson or account manager carrying a growth quota for 2022
Type of audience
UK and International
Description
When sales organisations don't get the results they seek, they typically resort to a sack full of action plans to try and put things right. Initiative overload combined with mounting pressure on individuals to close deals often when they are not ready to close! That prompts sellers to start the "blame game" - blaming everything and everybody as to why results aren't on track. It creates a toxic environment and results spiral downwards.
Culture is not some fluffy intangible concept - it's not about posters on the wall and messaging on a mouse-mat or dress-down Fridays. It's about how we think and act to achieve the business results we need.
On the session we will walk you through a process to create a positive #results-driven culture for sales organisations that creates a positive upward spiral!
Key takeaways
- Learn how culture - how we think and act - drives business results, and instils accountability
- Understand how culture is a process - not an event - and the key steps to successful implementation
- Learn how to avoid knee jerk reactions when results don't go your way through cultural alignment

Six actionable steps to preparing financially quantified value propositions
Tuesday, 26th July 2022 | 09:00
As a result of attending this event you will know how to create advantage for your customers, which will enable you to minimise conversations about price and discounting.
Recommended audience
Senior sales professionals or anyone who is unsure about how to develop financially quantified value propositions that capture the attention of their customers.
Type of audience
UK and International
Description
This webinar is for anyone who is unsure about how to develop financially quantified value propositions that capture the attention of their customers.
According to McKinsey, only 5% of companies in the UK have financially-quantified value propositions. My own research indicates a much lower percentage. Indeed, my work with the European Institute of Purchasing in Geneva and with the buying directors who are invited to address suppliers at my Cranfield School of Management Key Account Management Best Practice Research Club confirm that only 1% of their suppliers have financially-proven value propositions and for those suppliers they are prepared to pay a premium of up to 25% to deal with them.
Any supplier who can quantify financially how they can help their customers grow their profits will always succeed, no matter how difficult the market conditions.
A lot of what constitutes value from a supplier is about helping the customer to avoid disadvantage, but, much more importantly, those suppliers who can demonstrate that they will create advantage for them will be respected and there will be fewer conversations about price.
This webinar is especially current in that it also gives practical advice about how to proceed with value propositions in difficult market conditions.
Key takeaways
- You will learn how to prepare financially quantified value propositions
- You will learn how to improve your customer’s profitability
- You will learn how to deliver this value to your customers
