Recommended for both experienced and new sales people.

We’ll organise your group into teams competing to win a contract with a biopharmaceutical research company for a specialist piece of equipment to go into what they call their "dropzone".

Based around best practice sales methodology, teams engage in real sales effort, customer service, presentations and have to build a working prototype as well!

They earn points by tackling key tasks set along the way.

Only one team can win.

Realistic Process

To succeed, a team needs to handle the prospective customer well. Teams need:

  • To ask for the right information at the right time
  • To quote a competitive price while maximising its profit potential
  • To create and give a business-winning presentation to the prospective customer
  • To design, build, test and demonstrate its own solution to the customer’s problem

All the elements have to come together to maximise the chances of eventual success.

A single computer, shared by all the teams, runs your exercise. Each team has access to the computer, but they have to agree how they will ensure that you do not get in one another’s way at crucial times. At the end of each ’round’, teams are presented with statements showing a league position for all teams and additional information that they have requested.

The element of competition between teams generates complete involvement and the information flow from the computer generates a very real sense of urgency.

Always we finish with a grand finale in which all teams get to demonstrate their models and how well they work. Or how well they don’t work! Expect cheers for each team. Loud ones from themselves if their model performs well. Even louder from the other teams if their model fails!

Never has the sales person’s creed been more appropriate. Second is nowhere.
