SellingSpace®
SellingSpace® is a unique program designed to help sales professionals take responsibility for what they want to achieve and create a specific, quantifiable plan to achieve it. Participants identify both their current strengths and the aspects of their selling and work life needing improvement. SellingSpace® enables individuals and teams to direct their own energies, invent and create new solutions, and develop patterns of behavior to assess and redefine their actual “selling reality,” setting the stage for optimal performance. Each sales professional actually creates a unique “SellingSpace®” within which they follow their own customized and specific action plans to meet and exceed established quotas and performance standards. This program is equally effective for salespeople and teams either currently performing below optimal levels or for those seeking to achieve new record levels of performance.

The SellingSpace® process is a whole brain technology tool that consists of four key steps:

  1. Exploring the current work and selling life in real-time, quantifiable and specific terms
  2. Performing a precise valuing of all present elements affecting the work and selling life
  3. Developing creative alternatives to offer new options for areas that require change
  4. Setting goals and putting action plans in place within the new selling life to meet and exceed such metrics as performance-to-quota, revenue, commissions, and other KPIs

Ten Key Ways SellingSpace® Improves Performance:

  1. Performs an accurate discrepancy gap analysis to determine where a sales professional or team is now versus where they want to be by a stated time/deadline
  2. Acts as a powerful self-management tool to create and sustain effective selling behaviors
  3. Facilitates more accurate sales forecasts and identification of target market segments
  4. Identifies and exploits salesperson/sales team strengths
  5. Identifies areas for needed salesperson/sales team development
  6. Identifies current and potential internal/external barriers impeding success
  7. Creates realistic individual and team goals directly related to organizational goals
  8. Creates specific, doable action plans to meet/exceed individual and organizational key performance indicators such as revenue, gross profit, number of units sold, etc.
  9. Facilitates more effective sales team management
  10. Fosters sales team unity and improves corporate culture
