Commercial
Officers Practice

Modern sales leaders are increasingly playing a much broader and more strategic role in the success of a business. Increased competition, margin pressure, and changing customer behaviour and expectations have significant implications for the sales function and organisations as a whole.

High performing sales leaders have never been in more demand as businesses look to move the top line in increasingly challenging economic and market conditions.

Overview

The sales function of a business represents the link between customers and an organisation’s products or services. Whilst the end goal of a sales team will be to drive sales targets, a high performing sales team is responsible for much more than this alone. The foremost objective of the sales function is to identify prospective customers and engage with a view to developing a commercial relationship, identifying a customer’s needs and tailoring the business’ offerings to meet those needs.

Equally, sales teams are critical to retaining a business’ customers, preserving and growing a business’ revenue line. As the direct point of contact, an effective sales team represents the face of a business and ensures a positive long term relationship between an organisation and its customers.

Broadly at an executive level, sales leaders play a strategic role in designing a business’ go-to-market and commercial strategy and are accountable for the revenue performance of the business. Competition for senior roles remains fierce, and proven track records, with tangible examples of projects and commercial results, distinguish performance and capability between sales leaders.
