Challenges

For most of CHS Payroll’s history, their business grew through recommendations and referrals. However, to move this business forward and achieve their 5-year vision, a more direct, outbound sales approach was needed.

Despite its seasoned tenure, they faced a plateau in top-line business growth due to a series of strategic sales gaps. The company wrestled with an absence of a coherent sales process or stratagem, lacked significant metrics or KPIs for performance evaluation, and its CRM system remained largely unexploited.

Solutions Strategy

The initial step involved reaching out to a Sales Xceleration Outsourced VP of Sales. This move was imperative for identifying underlying issues within the sales department and devising a robust solution strategy.

To overcome these hurdles, key components of the Certified Sales Operating Management System™ were implemented, focused on invigorating the company’s sales structure and capability:

  1. Sales Strategy Deployment: Initiation of a robust sales strategy entailing Industry Positioning, Competitive Landscape Analysis, Value Proposition outline, and a detailed SWOT Analysis.
  2. Website Revitalization: Overhaul of the company website to echo and bolster the new sales strategy.
  3. Sales Process Development: Creation of a meticulous, codified sales procedure coupled with alignment of the pipeline stages.
  4. Recruitment of a Sales Leader: Undertaking a rigorous headhunt to locate and recruit the ideal sales leader for the company.
  5. Sales Playbook Creation: Compilation of a comprehensive Sales Playbook, including cold outreach scripts and training programs.
  6. Structured Sales Meetings: Implementation of weekly structured L-10 sales meetings and personalized coaching sessions for sales representatives.

Outcome

The alignment of the CRM system with the newly instituted sales process and the integration of activity based KPIs, yielded a remarkable turnaround in sales performance. Within the first quarter, the company’s sales volume remarkably surged past the total of the prior year’s by an impressive 13%.
