Vertone's approach to business strategy consulting

Deploy a high-performance, customer-focused B2C sales strategy

In B2C, the sales strategy is based on direct sales to customers or through a distribution network.

Whether your sales channels are digital, physical or mixed, we help you define sales strategies that meet your sales objectives: distribution network animation, store concepts, product promotion, sales methods, sales force motivation, lead generation, clienteling, bounce-back on incoming contacts, conversion tunnel, CRM.

Designing and managing a value-creating B2B sales strategy

In B2B, the sales strategy is based on animating a network of direct sellers or distributors.

Whatever the sales channel, we help you define sales strategies that meet your sales objectives: sales time, sales methods, sales force motivation, business partner program, key account approach, lead generation, conversion tunnel, CRM, artificial intelligence for sales.

Successfully market products and services with a targeted strategy

Go to market" involves rolling out the sale of new products and services in the field.

In this context, we support you in all the stages of a successful market launch: customer targeting, value proposition, logistics deployment, external communication, internal communication, briefing and training of sales teams, incentive programs, pricing, customer service, after-sales service and parameterization of sales and reporting tools.

Structure and execute a sales action plan aligned with your objectives

The sales action plan is the operational expression of the sales strategy. It is generally drawn up once a year, and lists all the sales actions to be implemented.

We support you in the implementation of your sales action plan: setting objectives, priority customers, priority products, priority sales networks, operational actions by customer/product or network objective, budget allocated to the various promotional actions, communication and sales network remuneration.

Optimize sales performance through a continuous improvement strategy

Sales performance is measured by sales management indicators. Analysis of these indicators, based on various benchmarks, provides an assessment of an organization's performance: sales, margin, customer acquisition costs, number of leads generated, use of sales time, conversion rate, share of cross-selling and up-selling, customer satisfaction, etc.

We work with you to optimize your organization's sales performance: sales strategy, sales organization, sales cycle management, sales monitoring and sales methods.

Enhance the efficiency of the sales organization and define a motivating remuneration strategy

The success of a sales strategy often depends on the quality of its execution, both in terms of the sales organization defined and the remuneration of sales staff. We can help you develop your national and international sales organizations.

We can help you define the right level of remuneration for your sales force to market your products: bonus, salary, other benefits paid according to the achievement of sales targets.
