Join Jess Lorimer and Robert Cutler of Selling to Corporate as they analyse the market and show you how to navigate mindset changes, new lead generation strategies, hiring ‘how-to’s and of course, those strategic sales techniques to see you into your next promotion.

On today’s episode, Jess and Rob delve into a very hot topic of the moment – Skills Assessments.  A Skills Assessment is a brilliant way to understand the current state of your sales department, particularly during a time post furlough period for many people.  By undertaking remote assessments of the team, you can understand the opportunities to progress and develop your staff to hit the highest revenue targets possible.

Key points from today’s episode include:

• Why re-engagement in 2021 needs to be better, and how a skills assessment can help – [4.03]
• Why a skills assessment allows you to understand what and who you need to recruit [08.34]
• You need to be assessing your people in July & August so they are prepared for the September – November rush of sales [13.26]
• How working from home, remote business and furlough have helped your sales people to develop different skills – and how to leverage those by understanding them [18.02]
• Using the data to understand your existing team, and also understand the future moves around the virtual chess board [22.39]
• Don’t be the last one to the party – bring in the sales trainers now once you know what you need – not at the end of the year when you have missed the 2021 opportunities [26.31]
• You have a sales forecast and a sales strategy.  Why no sales recruitment and training strategy too?  Use data to make that a reality. [31.08]
• If you want to learn more, contact Rob! [35.22]
