For
Immediate Release
Dimensions
of
EXCELLENCEä provides new paradigm in developing sales effectiveness.
August 1, 1998, Cleveland, OH: Imagine doubling
your win rate or reducing your sales cycle by half without going to another sales training
class. Imagine having the constant availability to an expert mentor or consultant to help
you develop winning sales strategies. Dimensions Of EXCELLENCE provides sales
professionals these capabilities through its Sales EXCELLENCE programs and its new Sales EXCELerators
.
"Todays sales professionals find
themselves in a world of global competition, increasingly complex selling and buying
cycles, and decreased access to coaching from sales management. Couple this with the
unlimited 'real time' demands on their time, and youve got a world in which old
training paradigms are largely irrelevant. We wanted to come up with a unique approach
that honors these realities as the starting point," states Dr. Barry Stern, Executive
Vice President of Partners In EXCELLENCE, parent company of Dimensions of EXCELLENCE
Sales executives and professionals have always
been forced to commit the time out of the field to develop their effectiveness. They
arrive wanting to find useful tools to help them produce better results quickly. Yet, most
approaches are paper driven and require an extensive commitment of time, completing forms
and other activity before producing something that the sales professional can put to use
to close more sales. Stern states, "Dimensions Of EXCELLENCE is based on
our experience in training thousands of sales professionals in a variety of industries.
These people are time poor, but hungry for improving their effectiveness. Many cant
even get away to attend a class. We took as our challenge the requirement to provide sales
professionals suggested sales strategies within the first 15 minutes of using our
tools."
A series of "expert tools" called EXCELerators
have been created to mentor the sales professional through the strategy development
experience and suggest specific actions the individual might consider. They are designed
in a manner that a person can, without training, input information about a sales
opportunity and begin getting expert advice within 15 minutes. As the sales cycle
progresses, the suggestions provided by the EXCELerators become much richer.
"Developing the EXCELerators
felt like a natural next step. In our work with sales professionals, we came to realize
that a large part of the value we brought to the training experience was our expertise as
sales professionals and the ideas for specific strategies that we offered the
participants," adds Dr. Stern. "Often, after a workshop, sales professionals
continued to use us as sounding boards for developing their sales strategies. People were
using us as 'surrogate' coaches and mentors to help strategize complex sales situations.
Dimensions Of EXCELLENCE provide sales professionals tools to replicate the
same experience."
In addition to the EXCELerators ,
Dimensions Of EXCELLENCE will provide access to experts through their web
site: www.dimensionsofexcellence.com.
Sales professionals can send questions about specific sales situations and get advice
through the Internet or telephone. Additionally the web site will have a Knowledge Center
for the exchange of ideas about selling and the development of sales strategy. Finally,
Dimensions Of EXCELLENCE will provide interactive workshops for sales
professionals to work together with an expert facilitator to develop and apply even more
skills. The web site will be available in September.
"Instead of centering sales training around
a class, we decided to change the rules of the game and make it easy for sales
professionals to gain the insights they sought. Now they can get expert coaching in
winning more deals how, when, and where they want it. No heavy lifting involved."
concludes Stern.
