Program Description
SalesTEAM captures and frames your company's current sales challenges in a fun and competitive action learning experience. The simulation sets up a dynamic environment based on your current toughest customers—how they are unique, their issues and concerns, how they view your company, and how to successfully sell to them.

Focusing on strategy, participant teams are thrust into an account and must find the needs, create the solution, and win the business. They spend the entire day in an account that mirrors exactly what they see in the field. Teams start with a bank of money that is their budget for the sales process. Their funds increase or decrease depending on the success of their choices. Time, money, and resources are limited as teams call on various buyers within the account. Participants discover who has the budget, the power, and the pain. They are bombarded with information and challenged to strategize their approach and then put that approach into practice. Sales managers act as coaches, judging team sales presentations, scoring strategy, and reinforcing the learning. When teams meet with specific buyers, they receive information about competitors—and an account surprise—that makes it necessary to revise their approach. Finally, teams make a presentation to the customer. Sales managers score the presentations, and the team that has amassed the most money over the course of the program wins the competition and a meaningful prize. Debriefing captures key learning and allows participants to absorb new approaches and make them their own.

Implementation/Customization
SalesTEAM is a 1-1.5 day simulation appropriate for groups from 24 to 1,000 participants. The program is customized to your organization's best practices and the challenges your sales team faces on a day-to-day basis. Every aspect of the program mimics your organization’s real-life customers, competition, and challenges. Implementation that utilizes The Advantage Waysm builds participant expectations of applying the knowledge from the program in specific applications. Performance support elements that follow the program further assure translation of classroom learning to the workplace.
