Introduction from Nick Patrick
An introduction to your growth experts, and what they will be uncovering with you in their workshops is followed by an analysis of the consistent growth challenges that are faced in the market. Nick will also step through the growth framework and strategies we adopt with clients that overcome these.
Workshop with Matt Garman
Stepping away from founder-led sales should be a planned process not a costly abdication that takes the business backwards. In this hands-on workshop we explore why this so often fails and step through how to avoid the mistakes others make and build a high performing function, including:

Scoring your sales function
-
Processes you need in place and what good looks like

Effective management and measurement strategies
-
Cost considerations for building a sustainable, highly efficient sales function
