Commercial tactics
Deliverables across direction, sales effectiveness and go-to-market. Each one ends in a plan with an owner and a number, and we stay to build it.
What we deliver
- 01
Assessment
Four to six weeks inside your commercial engine: where you win and lose, where margin slips and which lever to move first. You leave with a roadmap that names the must-win battles, their owners and the numbers to hit.
- 02
Market entry & sizing
How big the market really is, which countries and segments to take first and what it takes to win them. Built bottom-up from real data, so the business case holds up in the board room.
- 03
Positioning & value proposition
Why a buyer should move from the supplier they already trust, said in the words of the engineer, the operator and the purchaser who all have to agree.
- 04
Product launch
From the last specification to the first repeat orders: target segments, price, the sales story and a launch plan your sellers and partners are ready for on day one.
- 05
Pricing & margin discipline
Price realisation, discount rules and quote tools tied to your ERP. We find where margin leaks between list price and invoice and close it, order by order.
- 06
Key account management
Account plans for the customers that carry the business: who decides, what they need next and how you grow your share of their spend over years, not quarters.
- 07
Deal acceleration
Win plans for the handful of deals that make the year. Stakeholders, decision path and the next step that moves each one, reviewed with the team until it closes.
- 08
Sales operating model
The pipeline stages, KPIs and weekly rhythm that let management steer by facts. A forecast you can put in front of the board.
- 09
Channel & distributor strategy
Which partners carry which products to which customers, and on what terms. Incentives and agreements that add reach without eating margin or upsetting the dealer network.
- 10
Digital & inside sales
Inside sales, web shop and customer portals for the orders that don't need a visit, so the field team spends its days where a visit makes the difference.
- 11
Sales prediction based on data models
Forecasts built on your own order history, pipeline and market signals instead of gut feel: which deals will close, which customers are ready to buy again or about to leave, and what next quarter really looks like.
A few good sellers carry the number, while pricing, sales and service each run on their own system.
You carry the revenue target across sales, marketing and service. The tools, data and habits that decide whether it lands sit in different places.
Pricing follows the price list and the judgement of a few experienced sellers. The CRM is half-used. What your best people do differently is known to them, and to nobody else.
Leave it as it is, and margin leaks away one discounted deal at a time. The forecast stays a guess. And the day a strong seller leaves, part of the number leaves with them.
A commercial plan only works once it is built into the tools and habits your sellers use every day.
Most commercial plans are good on paper and lost in the handover. The strategy is agreed in a workshop. Then the sellers go back to the same CRM, the same price list and the same routines.
We start from your own numbers: which segments, offers and sellers outperform. We build the go-to-market around that, and then we build it into the way the team works: pricing rules, quote tools, a pipeline connected to ERP and web, and training for the leaders who run the team.
What that gives you is a pipeline you can forecast, deals that land at the margin you decided, and a way of selling that does not depend on three people.
We read your numbers, choose the few battles that win, build them into the tools and train the team to use them.
Pricing discipline, sales effectiveness and go-to-market structure. One partner leads; Data & Insights, Tech & AI and People development join when the work needs them.
- 01
Read your numbers
Interviews with the leadership team and a close review of sales, marketing and customer data. We find which segments, offers and sellers outperform, and where margin slips.
- 02
Choose the few battles that win
Leadership workshops align priorities, targets and investment. We narrow the plan to a small set of must-win battles, each with an owner and a number.
- 03
Build it into how you sell
Pricing and quote tools tied to your ERP, a CRM connected to ERP and web, channel and reseller incentives, and portals where customers can order without a call. Built with your sales and IT people, in a simple programme with clear deliverables.
- 04
Make it the habit
Sales training and follow-up for the leaders who make the new routines stick, so the capability stays in your organisation when we step back.
