THE RESULTS
Comparison of Leads, Opportunities & Meetings before & after training with SBR
WHAT ISSUES WERE THEY FACING?
Each year Opal Wave’s leads, opportunities & meetings were only slightly improving, and not to Opal Wave’s expectation. They needed to change the way their sales people thought and the current internal processes.
SBR’S APPROACH
SBR came into Opal Wave and conducted a sales capability development programme, looking for where the strengths and weaknesses lie.
SBR developed a well-defined sales process, managed through the Opal Wave’s CRM. They developed a sales playbook for all members of the sales team and new starters to help decrease ramp time. Internal sales and account development training was conducted and formalised account management was restructured.
Simon Bell was appointed as the new Sales & Marketing Director during the time SBR worked with Opal Wave.
