Challenges of Key Account and Enterprise Selling

This complex interaction of people and exchange of information results in:

  • Longer selling cycles with increased costs of pursuing opportunities

  • More complex solutions requiring carefully orchestrated implementation

  • A need for a high degree of selling team cooperation, communication, and creativity

Organising and documenting interactions and exchanges of information between and among buyer and seller teams is crucial for closing sales - profitably. Sandler Enterprise Selling provides the tools for this - and the strategies and processes to keep sales opportunities moving forward to predictable conclusions.

On the Buyer's Side

The group of people who define the business need may be different from the group who help shape the solution. And control of the resources to acquire and implement the solution may fall under yet another group.

On the Seller's Side

The composition of the sales team tasked with exploring and defining the need will often change as the focus shifts to framing and creating a solution. The implementation team will also probably involve different people.

The Six Stages of Enterprise Selling

  • Stage One: Territory & Account Planning
  • Stage Two: Opportunity Identification
  • Stage Three: Qualification
  • Stage Four: Solution Development
  • Stage Five: Proposing & Advancement
  • Stage Six: Service Delivery

We deliver and train a full suite of diagnostic, navigational and accountability tools to guide you through all six stages.
