Introducing the
OneTEAM Method
“How to stop losing sales in today’s challenging
business environment.”

Poor Sales and Marketing team collaboration:
What are some of the Symptoms ?
Too many sales reps
are not hitting their
targets
Sales reps can’t find the right
content and are creating their
own marketing material,
instead of selling
Too many sales are lost, or
are stuck at ‘Wait and See’
New sales reps take
6 months+ to ramp up
There is too much price
discounting
Marketing has poor
visibility of what collateral
the sales reps use, or how
they use it
Marketing is reactive to the
more vocal sales reps
instead of supporting all
Us and Them’ attitude creates
an unattractive work
environment with poor staff
morale creeping in

What do other Experts say ?
“67% of sales professionals do not achieve their
personal sales quota.”
- The TAS Group
“~60% of sales pipeline is stuck with no decision
pending.”
- Qvidian
"Only 25% of sales leads and collateral that Marketing
creates is ever used by Sales teams.“
- IDC
“Less than 35% of a sales rep’s time is spent selling.”
- CSO Insights
“Almost 78% of newly hired sales reps take 6 months
or longer to become fully proficient at selling.”
- Accenture, Connecting the Dots on Sales
Performance

Comparison of Business Success in Organizations
with Poor Sales+Marketing Collaboration

almost double their risk of declining sales.”

Some Outcomes of
Sales Productivity Improvement Initiatives

in selling process
Making selling resources
more accessible and
aligned to buyers
Make sales process more
consistent
Improve top rep retention
Improve customer
retention
Visibility into what’s not
working

So, how can we raise Sales Productivity?

87% is forgotten within 30 days
(Ebbinghaus)
Risky, and ramp up time is costly ($60k+ for the first 6 months)
(Forrester, et al)
Stuffing more leads into the sales funnel will not resolve a sales
productivity problem (Peter Strohkorb Consulting)
MORE
sales training?
MORE
sales reps?
MORE
sales leads?
NO
NO
NO

So, how can we raise Sales Productivity?
We need a holistic Program that addresses all three dimensions of
the issue:
The “Productivity Trinity” of
• People first,
• Processes second, and
• Technology third.

Introducing the OneTEAM Method
A holistic Framework to vastly improve Sales
Productivity through tighter Collaboration
between Sales and Marketing teams.
8

Marketers now understand what they need to do to better support
Sales. They have stopped spending time and effort on things that Sales
don’t use or value. They now feel appreciated by Sales.
Sales people can now focus on selling. They have recovered the time
they used to spend on creating their own marketing collateral and on
searching for the right marketing content. They feel supported by
Marketing.
Sales Reps become more effective. Having the right collateral at hand
when they need it makes them more credible in the market, resulting in
more closed sales, higher margins and better retention.
Everybody wants to work in a collaborative organisation. Your new
team environment attracts high performers, lifting quality and morale
across the entire organisation.
