Accelerating Sales Excellence: Precisely's Journey with Demo2Win Training
Precisely PinPoints Needs
Precisely approached 2Win Global with a "suite" of needs. First, they had undergone two major acquisitions, which substantially enhanced their portfolio of products and expanded the sales teams, the new product lines were being integrated, and the solution engineers had to adapt fast to a new go-to-market strategy. Second, where sales had been pitching to IT previously, in this new world sales pitches are in front of decision-makers with more authority and less technical knowledge. Having leaders in the demo audience accelerates a sales funnel and necessitates a shift in how demos and solutions are generated.
Demand for the Precisely Data Integrity Suite was high, but Precisely faced the challenges of streamlining product lines, advancing sales engineering methods, and unifying a diverse talent pool within its multinational organization. Transitioning to SaaS cloud data solutions required a modernized sales demonstration methodology to meet new customer demands.
2Win Solutions:
Global Demo Training Tracks, Reinforced Learning, and A Culture of Cooperation.
2Win created a custom solution to meet Precisely's complex needs. First, 2Win implemented a comprehensive training program, including a two-week jumpstart consisting of an Asia Pacific track, a European track, and three US tracks with interactive live sessions supplemented by online self-paced pre-work.
The jumpstart program emphasized peer-based learning to engage sales teams and encourage cooperation and communication across boundaries. Following the jumpstart were quarterly reinforcement sessions to troubleshoot communication gaps and share real-world experiences of how the training improved buyer experience and close rates.
To address the challenge of transforming the organizational culture to match its newly implemented sales methodology, 2Win emphasized cooperation and sharing skills, stories, and expertise across organizational and national boundaries. This initiative not only facilitated collaboration but also increased retention rates by creating an environment where employees were eager to contribute and grow within a global context.
Precisely elevated its collective product IQ and cultural EQ, and lowered barriers professional development. The Demo2Win training galvanized team cooperation, fostering skill and knowledge exchange, and improved sales outcomes.
The Experience
Consistent Excellence
To drive organizational global evolution and meet today’s buyers where they are, Precisely needed to modernize its demos and usher in a new era of cooperation among its teams. 2Win was initially chosen for its reputation and compatibility with Precisely's sales methodology. However, throughout the training process, Precisely was impressed by the intangible value of 2Win talent; it experienced consistent excellence in every aspect, from curriculum design to instructor expertise.
"Our sales engineers came ready for each one of the live sessions to ensure they would get the maximum benefit. Even with sessions going on in 3 different global regions, 2Win seamlessly planned the entire training program. Briefing all of the coaches on our business prior to the live sessions, every Coach demonstrated that they clearly absorbed all of the information. The consistency across each coach was mind-blowing.
Each 2Win Coach was super consistent and had hard hitting messages. Each coach brought something from their own background and weaved their experience through their session. They were delivering a solid and consistent curriculum, but each maximizing their own strength. And that was impressive."
- Keith Wright, Sales Enablement Director
