Xiaa Software solution developed for B2B
sales and marketing, using targeted profiles
from LinkedIn and business contacts.
⢠Limited time and resource
⢠How do you identify and access potential clients?
⢠How does the Sales Team break down doors,
⢠Online tools (usually US focused)
⢠Industry Events are very expensive and random.
⢠Data bases are expensive, age quickly
⢠How do you raise your profile and get activity
going quickly?
⢠Hiring Inside Sales wonât be a quick fix and is
expensive.

Better Account planning and Value selling
The results
This Technology company in
Big Data Customer Analytics
and SaaS with Headquarters in
the UK was participating in
many RFPs, but was struggling
to win new Retail business,
due to poor account planning,
weak value propositions,
under-estimating competitors
and inconsistent engagement
across the prospective client
organisations.
An account planning process
was designed for this business,
using a current client as a
deep-dive case study.
A 2 days interactive workshop
was delivered to sales teams in
US, Europe and Asia.
Teams were taught the
methodology, applied the
learnings in work groups to
their clients and presented
back in the workshop on their
account plans and value
propositions for feed-back and
critique.
Easy to use Templates and
Tools were provided.
Over 40 sales personnel were
trained.
Methodology was adopted
across the company with
quarterly account plan reviews
for both current and
prospective clients:
Account assessment
Account Value Proposition
Opportunity Map
Engagement Plan
Win ratio in Pitches / RFPs
improved from 1 in 5 to 1 in 3.
Sales grew +50% CAGR over
next 4 years from $12 to $60
million

Flying over employees in the current crisis is now not an
option.
Picking the wrong Distributor or Resellers, who donât have
the necessary skilled people across the region.
Control of Employees is difficult when you are over 3000
miles away on a different time-zone.
HR employment law across EU and UK is starkly different
from the US.
Accounting and Tax laws can catch you out. If you have a
local office, you need to be billing VAT locally.
Churn of staff can be high
Sales cycles have become more drawn out and can take 6-12
months before you see any return.
