Manufacturing

Manufacturers Don’t Make Systems For Repeatable Sales.

But Ours Is Easy To Install.

If they had a true sales machine, fewer manufacturers would be caught in the trap of selling on price. Too bad many of them don’t have a disciplined and focused approach to corporate and channel sales. Some reps are more comfortable selling on the technical aspects of a product but rarely sell cost benefits and value to prospects. In addition, it’s not unusual for a reseller to have their own sales processes, making an accurate sales forecast next to impossible.

However, KeyRoad can change that side of the story with consistent messaging, customized sales team training, key performance indicators and a reliable sales management system that helps activities align with goals for growth – so everybody can see the big picture of sales’ role in the organization.

KeyRoad’s sales team training with manufacturershasresulted in:

A 200% increase in sales
Improved 60-day forecast accuracy from non-existent to 82%
Increased the number of resellers exceeding YTD sales quotas from seven at the end of Q1 to 15 by the end of Q2
Several record-setting months of double-digit growth
Key customers acquired within the first three months
