- In addition to this presentation, there should be a “Note Sheet” and a “Work Sheet” to be used in conjunction with the presentations. Also, if you are presenting to an AD Affiliate please use the AD 2-slide addendum. The foundation for this program is built upon three key words that should be stressed throughout your meetings – STRATEGY, PARTNERSHIP, AND INCENTIVE. These three words are the keys – the drivers – that you should memorize and fully understand the meanings of these three words as noted below: Strategy – a plan, method, or series of maneuvers for obtaining a specific goal or resultPartnership – the state or condition of being a partner; participation; association; joint interestIncentive – something that incites or tends to incite to action or greater effort, as a reward offered for increased productivity
- As the Sales Manager for your specific region – your franchise – the way you conduct these meetings with your key accounts will determine the outcome. You want to be “engaged in a conversation” with the key principals and management of these “supporting” LPS customers. With this in mind, please plan on an hour to two hours for your meetings so that full discussions can take place regarding the partnership and how to strategize for sales growth in 2012.
- The first slide refers to a BUSINESS REVIEW which should be done FIRST before the 2012 Program is shared. You need to bring copies of the Usage Reports and Usage & Allocation Reports for 2011. This conversation should include: 2011 sales to 2010 – the ups and downs. In fact, I would encourage all of you to go back 3 years to show a true picture of the account’s LPS business.Discuss the “events” that were completed; such as, product training, vendor shows, etc. and talk about what was good and what could be better.Review the audits you completed and presented in 2011.Where do they stand in terms of sold – RESULTS?Where do they stand in terms of closing?What happen to the ones that “we” did not win?Get into the End-users RESULTS – other than audits – to illustrate what other key sales took place.Give credit where credit is due. Cite those LPS Champions that have helped to achieve these RESULTS.Talk about New Product Sales – successful or not? What could we have done better in our “pull-through” sales strategy?2011 Promotions? The good (What was successful?), the bad (What to improve?), the ugly (Why weren’t there any done in 2010?). These questions are all important to have answers to – to help YOU and US become better at what we do. The answers may also help you to determine the course of the discussion as you get into the 2012 Strategic Advantage Program.
- Prior to this meeting, review and reference any notes from the previous year’s meeting.
- For 2012, the “base” minimal performance required for a distributor to be on this program is built on two things: Provide $25K in annual purchases; and, Provide three product training sessions in 2012. (Ideally, you want to secure the Training Dates during your meeting.) The incentive for the account is the “flat pricing” program. I must say, however, if that is all we can get from a “supporting” customer – then, we may reconsider any program offerings in 2013. Afterall, what you want is a partner – who can see the “Advantages” of the various offerings in the program. Someone who can realize the potential earnings from the incentive rebates in 2012 – AND, who can visualize beyond the next year for continued sales growth into the future. Above the base minimum required, all other incentives are activity-driven and based upon performance and productivity for these partnering accounts.
- Lead with asking SA Partner how many training session you can perform with them. Remember, three is a minimum.
- Discuss how you will confirm the success of this initiative.
- Discuss how you will confirm the value and success with your SA Partner.
- Discuss the total promotion plan with your SA Partner. (i.e. products will have stocked inventory, training, promotion type, incentive, results expected)Conduct a post promotion review to discuss accomplishment.
