DEVELOPING PROCESS

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

We utilize the findings within an actionable plan.   The development plan, coupled with our ongoing support, unlocks the growth potential for each employee.  The sales manager receives specific information regarding the salesperson’s preferred communication style, decision-making process and skill development targets.

This document provides a quick manual for interacting and growing that specific employee. The manager can reference the plan before coaching the employee on the specific areas identified.  The goal - to maximize the company's return on investment in that individual.

A Tactical Tool for Sales Managers

Purpose

Our assessments provide pages of data about a salesperson but how does a sales manager turn that information into actionable items?  Through Select Metrix's Sales Development Plan.

 

The development plan is a sales manager's tool to use in coaching, motivating and growing their salespeople.  The plan provides specific topics in which to grade the salesperson based on first-hand observations.  The development plan becomes the blueprint for topic-specific, actionable items for the sales manager to use in developing and refining the salesperson's skills.

 

Highlights

Customization:  Each development plan is customized to the individual salesperson's strengths and weaknesses in regards to their assessed sales skills and aptitudes.  We stress to sales managers that first they need to negate the salesperson's weaknesses, but then they need to apply the most energy to developing the salesperson's natural strengths.  The development plan contains a grading sheet to track the salesperson's growth in all of these areas.

Communication:  The first page of the report is an adapted form of our selling style cheat sheet.  This page provides the sales manager with a quick reminder of the salesperson's style and how to effectively communicate in that style.  This information allows the sales manager to shape their communication while coaching the salesperson and properly motivating them to attain the stated goal.

 

Productivity:  The development plan includes a section on the salesperson's productivity - items such as organization, preparation and product/service knowledge.  This section provides the sales manager with an area to track routines and assign specific goals for the salesperson.  The development plan focuses on making the salesperson's sales day more efficient.

 

Review:  The development plan information becomes an integral part of any sales employee review process.  We also welcome the chance to review the employee's development with the sales manager and provide advanced development plans once the salesperson has mastered the topics covered in the initial development plan.
