Sales Healthcheck All businesses are dependent upon the effective performance of their sales force, but sometimes our sales performance isn’t what it needs to be… this is where we can help. By spending time with your current business leaders and the team, we will help assess and understand what is, or more important what isn’t, happening in your current sales set up. We can identify specific improvements required to re-focus the team and create a full recovery plan to get everyone back on track. Delivering Against Objectives Whether we’re delivering classroom or 1:1 coaching; in order for any training event to be successful, it’s critical that we take the time to understand the barriers to effective performance. Our coaches will spend time with you to agree workable and measurable outcomes and will deliver relevant content wherever possible. Pre and post course evaluation and assessment is an essential part of getting it right and we work hard to deliver objective training which has real value at individual, operational and organisational level.

The Bootcamp was delivered in parallel with specialist product training from OKM and was vital as 3 of the new recruits had no previous sales experience. THE CHALLENGE This was followed by a further 7 modules on a monthly basis as well as a supportive coaching approach. The results were good with all recruits integrated into the business effectively, enabling them to make significant progress within their first full year. In 2012 Olympus KeyMed (OKM), an international leader in the manufacture and supply of specialised medical and industrial equipment, had been experiencing inconsistencies with the success of their previous recruitment processes and were finding it increasingly difficult to source, recruit and retain sufficiently qualified sales staff. There was a legacy of graduate recruitment and substantial investment was being made with a lower than expected return on investment. Raw Talent Academy approached OKM to talk about their recruitment model. OKM were familiar with the assessment type recruitment process and had used competitor models, but were interested in trying Raw Talent Academy’s innovative process with access to a wider talent-pool. Raw Talent Academy were engaged to source 4 Territory Managers. The success of the whole Academy process – sourcing, audition day and training – has resulted in a strong partnership between Raw Talent Academy & OKM that has seen a further 13 academies completed with a total of 66 offers made to candidates who have since joined the business. 3 The training programme has been completed on a rolling basis and in conjunction with regular feedback from National Sales Managers. THE RESULT THIS WRAPAROUND SERVICE OFFERING HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN 3 KEY AREAS: 1. SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION AND PERFORMANCE 2. IMPROVED STAFF RETENTION AND ON-BOARDING 3. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Following this success, OKM wanted to roll-out a similar training programme to their more experienced Territory Managers – this has provided a cohesive and consistent sales approach across the business. As this was an extensive programme, we are now undergoing the assessment and evaluation part of the process to monitor improvement at individual, operational and organisational level. This programme has also been extended to the Industrial and Microscopy divisions (SSBG) who have also completed the TM Advanced Programme.
