WE HELP COMPANIES STRUGGLING WITH:
Declining or stagnant sales.
Not making the kind of profit that they should be making.
Can’t make the shift from selling products to building deep insights with customers in order to create loyal customers.
Not knowing the right strategy or where to start to create one.
Lack of control – no strategy, sales and marketing processes or procedures in place.
No people or the wrong people in the sales and marketing management seats.
Hitting the ceiling – just don’t know how to break through.
DON’T LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES. CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS.™
In order to get at the heart of a business and really establish a centre of gravity, companies just cannot seem to dial in the following:
- What business are we really in?
- Where should we play? Who should we really be targeting? Where are they? How do we identify prospective customers? How do we connect with them?
- Why are we special and why should customers choose us instead of the competition?
- How will we win? What is our strategy? Where are we going and how are we going to get there?
- How do we make some serious but fundamental changes to our company? Tweaks haven’t done the trick.
The Shift Now Sales Operating System comprises these five components, which will help you achieve everything you want from your strategic, marketing and sales efforts when strengthened and rebalanced and focused.
Shift Now offers the only Sales Operating System that takes a holistic, self-sustaining approach to help entrepreneurial companies achieve three things:
CUSTOMER FOCUS AND INTIMACY™. Make the shift from simply ‘selling products’ to building deep insights with customers.
CLARITY AND ACTION™. Make the move from strategic, marketing and sales confusion, to clarity and to disciplined action.
FAST-LASTING™ RESULTS. Our SHIFT NOW Activators™ are thought leaders, real go-to people, who can guide, facilitate, and train to turn great ideas into real results.
Assess the strength of your organization with a simple questionnaire to pinpoint the parts of your business that need some attention.
Our proven path to put all the pieces together
Owners of organizations want to see their businesses consistently grow faster and achieve extraordinary results.
However, most companies, perhaps over 95%, may never break away, crush the competition, and achieve their most ambitious goals.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
SALES METHODOLOGY
The SALES METHODOLOGY is ONE ELEMENT of the SALES OPERATING SYSTEM that refers to the methodology, framework, philosophy or general tactics that ‘guides’ how sales personnel approach each step or phase in a sales process.
Not all sales methodologies and systems are the same! There are countless methodologies that may be described as: solution selling, value selling, customer centric selling, consultative selling, conceptual selling and more.
The Shift Now Sales Methodology, backed by over 25 years of research and experience, embraces many of the sales concepts, practices, processes, principles, and disciplines that have proven successful over decades of business changes and industry disruptions.
Our sales methodology, designed for ‘Business to Business’ environments, covers the entire buying cycle through the following stages: awareness, interest, consideration, evaluation, purchase, and retention.
What makes the Shift Now Sales Methodology different and better than most is:
- The emphasis on understanding human behavior and adapting the proven sales principles to achieve success.
- The pursuit of customer focus and intimacy where you achieve lost-lasting results by knowing customers and their particular needs, inside and out, and then continually shaping your products and services to fit an increasingly fine definition of the customer.
The Shift Now Sales Methodology comprises six key components which are executed in a cyclical fashion with continued engagement and evolving solutions to adapt to changes in the customers’ business landscape. This is not a linear sales process, like many systems, that stops once a sale has been.
The six key components are:
LEARN: During the learning stage, we research and look very closely at the customer’s current situation. This stage, which is overlooked in most other sales methodologies, help better prepare sales personnel for their time with the customer resulting in purposeful meetings and win-win outcomes.
CONNECT: During the connect stage, we utilize the client’s psychographics, personal behavior styles and rapport building activities to gain rapport and trust.
ENGAGE: The engage stage is simply a way of maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of each meeting by clarifying and agreeing on the purpose, agenda and expected outcomes.
EXPLORE: During the explore/discovery stage, the goal is to have a dialogue to uncover, help, understand and discuss the issues, problems, obstacles, barriers, opportunities, and potential solutions that require discussion.
We utilize SMART questions to clarify, understand and explore the desired result. We talk about price and the customer’s decision-making process so that all users and influencers have had an opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas, concerns and solutions.
SOLVE: During the solution stage, we simply share our proposed solution and discuss options and the benefits and value that we might bring in order to guide the customer into making their best decision. This is more about conversing situationally rather than making in-depth presentations.
OPTIMIZE: And, during this customer retention stage or the ‘delight’ stage, we continually assess our performance and identify additional sources of customer value.
This is the Shift Now Sales Methodology – your best chance to address your sales needs.
A PLANNED APPROACH.
NOT A CANNED APPROACH.
THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROCESS IS WHAT WE CALL THE 55-MINUTE MEETING™.
This is where we give you 55 minutes of our time, at no charge, to show you and your team more specific information about the 5 key components of your business, illustrate some of the simple and practical tools that we use to strengthen those components and also outline how we work with you to implement the SHIFT Sales Operating System in your business. Consider it a ‘discovery process’ – it is not a sales presentation.
YOU WILL:
-
Discover some very important things that you did not know about your business.
-
See some things in your company from a whole different perspective.
-
Identify and help you focus on some of the root causes of some of the challenges in your company.
WHY 55 MINUTES?
““If I had only an hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem and only five minutes finding the solution.”
IF IT WORKS FOR ALBERT EINSTEIN,
IT SHOULD WORK FOR US!
THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS IS TO PROCEED WITH THE FOCUS STEP
If you decide to move forward after the 55-minute meeting,
THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS IS TO PROCEED WITH THE FOCUS STEP
This consists of about 4-6 full-day sessions where we begin shifting your Centre of Gravity by creating understanding, awareness and alignment with your customers’ needs and values. This creates also immediate energy, traction and results!
THE NEXT STEP IS PREDICT
Once we have defined and aligned the organization around your customers, we move on to PREDICT step – where work together in 2-3 full-day sessions to create an annual sales forecast, identify 1-year goals and quarterly priorities, create a company scorecard and then begin measuring results.
FOLLOWED BY ENABLE
We are now able to create annual and quarterly plans, usually in 2-3 full-day sessions, with clearly defined action steps and proven processes to get results.
NOW COMES – EXECUTION
Approximately 4 full day sessions where we introduce additional tools, sales methodologies, strategic account management skills, presentation skills and other disciplines to bring everything to life.
FROM THERE, WE MOVE INTO FULL-ON MODE – ACCELERATION
1 full day session every quarter, along with a 2 day session once per year, where we help you sustain and accelerate things by helping you master the tools and disciplines you have learned along the journey.
Our Approach
Our approach is simple. We utilize an innovative yet proven path and playbook to strengthen the 5 key components of your business.
We coach, we guide, we train and we facilitate. Our primary role is to honor, enhance, and focus the wisdom, knowledge, experience and know-how that usually lays dormant in many of our clients.
OUR GUARANTEE
NO CONTRACT
Are you worried about getting trapped in a long-term contract? No need! There are no engagement letters, no contracts or up-front fees.
SATISFACTION
While we cannot guarantee specific sales and profit outcomes, we do guarantee that we deliver value. If we don’t deliver value, we will correct the problem and improve the situation. If we cannot resolve the situation to your satisfaction, we will agree on partial payment which reflects your level of satisfaction. Isn’t that the way it should be?
