Many business leaders are concerned that their current sales organization may not be delivering at the level that it could and should be - and almost all believe that they could do better. It can be tempting to think that signing up for a new training program or implementing a new sales methodology will provide the answer.
Unfortunately, simply focusing on skills, technique or point processes - unless they are part of an integrated change management program - rarely have the hoped-for impact. Organisations need to identify the root causes of under-performance before they can hope to address them - and unfortunately, that's often more complicated than it first appears.
That's why we believe in diagnosing before we prescribe
If you recognise any of the following issues, we may be able to help:
Are you sure that you are always able to make the best possible hiring decisions?

Their approach is provably effective - and highly predictive at recommending candidates who will rise to the top half of the sales team within 12 months, as well as identifying candidates who are highly unlikely to perform to expectations in a specific sales role.

When combined with OMG's organisation-wide Sales Effectiveness and Improvement Analysis [SEIA] report, they enable you to answer performance-critical critical questions, including:
