Build an effective sales plan (and a high performing team)

How to create a good sales plan and implement it successfully?

Master Class

Introduction

In this training, you will learn how to create a strategic sales plan that not only provides direction, structure, and motivation for your sales team but also helps build long-lasting customer relationships.

The program combines strategic models with hands-on exercises, enabling you to develop a complete sales plan and implement it within your organization.

Strategic Foundations and Theory

The training is entirely dedicated to building a solid strategic foundation for your sales plan. You will learn essential concepts like SWOT analysis and the OGSM² model, which help you understand your market situation, set clear goals, and formulate an action plan. We delve into the strategic principles of an effective sales strategy:

  • Actionable Strategy: How to develop a strategy that is not only ambitious but also practical and motivating for your team?
  • Market Analysis and Customer Segmentation: The importance of identifying your most valuable customers and segmenting your market for maximum results.
  • Common Pitfalls: We discuss frequent mistakes in developing a sales plan and how to avoid them to lead your team efficiently.

The day is interspersed with interactive exercises and real-life examples, allowing you to apply theory directly to your specific situation. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to translate a business strategy into a goal-oriented sales plan.
We also look at how to ensure a motivated and high-performing sales team where trust, accountability, and achieving results go hand in hand.

Optional: Practical Development and Implementation

A half-day follow-up workshop will be offered a few weeks after the training, if there is enough interest. This session focuses entirely on the practical application of theory. You will work on a realistic case study where you apply the models and strategies from the first day:

  • SWOT and OGSM² in Practice: Learn how to use these powerful models to create a concrete sales plan that is easy to monitor and adjust.
  • The 1-Page Sales Plan: Develop a complete sales plan that contains the key objectives, strategies, and metrics on a single page, ready for implementation.

What will you learn?

This training ensures that you not only think strategically but can also motivate and engage your team to act in a results-oriented way, preparing your team and organization for sustainable sales growth.

After the basic training, you will have:

  • An in-depth understanding of strategic sales principles and how to translate them into an action-oriented plan.
  • Tools and templates to monitor and adjust your long-term sales strategy.

After the optional workshop, you will have:

  • A concrete, actionable sales plan focused on growth AND team motivation.
