Why is it that transformational sales strategies are on the sales leadership agenda? There are three critical drivers for transformation that have an impact on sales leadership and the sales organisation. Customer – The customer role in the buying cycle is changing radically. Customers make decisions on whom they want to work with well before the sales team are aware. This is having a profound effect on how organisations service customers and manage key accounts. Landscape – Organisations are having to think smarter and adapt quicker to deal with changing competitor landscapes in order to take advantage of global opportunities. This is not about change – it is for many, about creating a sustainable sales transformation journey. Boardroom – As a consequence of the above, sales is playing an increasingly different role within the boardroom. We see the emphasis of sales changing – sales is not just about executing board strategy, but helping to shape strategy. Arguably sales leadership is at a tipping point. Where can one draw inspiration from to create new strategies and tactics for sales and its leadership within one’s own organisation? On this our 7th sales transformation event, Consalia in association with Middlesex University is offering you the opportunity to engage with and learn from inspirational speakers as well as senior level corporates – to explore new thinking and learn from industry best practice. Think Smart: Sales, Strategies & Insights will bring together a unique blend of powerful, innovative expertise that will help you generate new perspectives on how to transform faster and more effectively than your competitors and drive your organisation to new levels of performance. The spirit of all Global Sales Transformation (GST) events is an open, sharing and reflective day for peers within sales leadership, sales enablement and HR. Share, learn, apply, perform. Conference objectives: • Develop insights into a variety of different approaches to sales strategy • Explore how customers, suppliers and partners can best collaborate to co-create value • Examine how new ways of framing value propositions can impact sales and marketing strategy Key themes to be explored: • Strategy - insights into different strategies to win • The role of sales leaders – transformational sales leadership vs transactional sales leadership • Learn from CEOs and CSOs on their transformational journeys • How customers are changing the ways that sales needs to articulate their value propositions • Insights into new initiatives being taken to professionalise sales Who’s participating: Sales Leaders, Global and National Account Managers, Academic and Training specialists.

Consalia is a global sales performance improvement company. We help international organisations transform their sales effectiveness through consultancy and customised training & development solutions. We exist to help make sales the world’s most sought after profession. A fairly bold statement admittedly, but the sobering fact is that less than 10% of salespeople sell to C-level executives in the way that they wish to be sold to. What does this mean? Sales is failing to fulfill its full potential because not enough is done to isolate what separates the truly great professionals from the rest. Grounded in research, our ‘Mindset’ approach to improved sales performance has delivered validated client returns of over $7bn in 7 years. We believe that the right mindset is what distinguishes greatness. Others teach people how to sell, we teach people how to think and sell.
