2. Current challenges
● Sales update status happens weekly or
biweekly
● Resources are working on low value deals
and non-deal closing activities
● Too many directions to the team causes
disorientation and lost focus
● Late acknowledgement of a failure in
achieving the quota
3. Agile Sales
● Applicable for smallest sales unit in the
organization
● Small team members (max 10)
● Team still has freedom to determine the tasks
needed to achieve the result
● Transparency acknowledges people's effort, not
only the number achieved

8. How to benefit from Agile
Methodology in Sales and Business
● Always have list of goals and tasks to achieve the goal
● We can track down to the most detail level
● Daily Meeting – 30 minutes daily call with the team to update
status and task distribution and prioritization and another 30
minutes sales manager meeting for inter division interlock
● Create urgency with the team, instead of weekly call, short 30
mins call with the team will help the team to prioritize the target
of the day
● Helps the team to focus on top 5 highest priority tasks
● Time keeping must be sharp to allow the team to focus on
execution
● Sales manager – responsible to clear all impediments, find
out internal bottlenecks, direct the team to achieve the goal
● Ensure the management does their job
9. Some Rules
● All team must attend the Daily Meeting –
current technology allows everyone to join
meeting from any location
● Allow change to take place at anytime –
because we are running business and not
developing software
● Allow the team to speak out on the tasks
needed to close the deal
● Sales manager helps prioritizing and direct the
team's focus
15. Team Commitment!
TEAM DEFINE THEIR OWN RULES OF WORK
TEAM HAS THE FULL CONTROL OF WHAT THEY DO
TRANSPARENT
TEAM MUST COMMIT TO DELIVER
MAKE CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT
