Increase Success with a Multifunctional, Disciplined Sales Methodology


The sales function is the front line of the marketplace and is strategically critical. Keeping the sales function aligned with strategic goals will
significantly impact growth.  


Because we are focused on WHAT, WHY, and HOW information, it is imperative to have a strategic sales methodology approach that is multifunctional and multifaceted – requiring many layers of information. Here is a breakdown of the PSP approach to accelerate your sales growth, focusing on the layers of information needed to implement and sustain a disciplined sales methodology.



  • Layer One: Determine the Market-driven Strategic Business Development Landscape
  • Layer Two: Benchmark the Ideal Sales / Business Development Role & Determine the Required Competencies
  • Layer Three: Determine the Ideal Personality Profile of the Salesperson
  • Layer Four: With CRM / Tracking Information, ‘Dimensionalize’ the WHAT Information
  • Layer Five: Set Sales Goals and Targets to Proactively Manage the WHAT information with the HOW and WHY
  • Layer Six: Hire the Right People from the Start with Benchmark and Profile Analysis


To help you further understand how you can combine these layers to utilize this sales methodology, we have developed a 6-step checklist to help you plan for accelerated sales growth.
