Welcome back to the CEO-Led Sales Podcast. Our host, Andrew Phillips, who is an experienced sales leader, author, consultant and founder of CEO-Led Sales is being interviewed in this week’s episode, detailing his recent journey as an Interim CEO for Clearbox Systems. As we celebrate the beginning of a new season, we reflect on how Andrew Phillips has practised his message throughout his book in his new position as a CEO. Despite his prior knowledge of aerospace, Andrew Phillips has now immersed himself fully into the aerospace industry where he was able to enact strategic plans and sales coaching. After diving into the CEO-Led Sales ideology in Season 1, Andrew Phillips now steps away from the practical discussion and travels to industry leaders, discussing problems and areas of interest which may lead to the diagnosis of parts of his model.

In this episode, Andrew discusses how and when sales coaching should be incorporated into The Right Model, and its importance for overall client and sales success. Whether this be focussing on improving the bottom performing segment of the company, or discussing the performance of salespeople with clients themselves, sales coaching achieves peak performance and higher self confidence and morale in the team. In particular, it has been found that coaching conducted externally from the leadership structure best enhances corporate performance. Does your sales strategy assist your clients in solving their strategic imperatives?

Join us in this episode with Andrew Philips, our podcasts owner, and the author of “CEO Led Sales”. Andrew is joined by our host and interviewer, the Managing Director of Social Star, Andrew Ford, and special guest and expert on Industry 4.0, Sven. Industry 4.0 – the fourth industrial revolution is already here. Created by the advances in technology changing the way we operate, businesses need to stay ahead by actively keeping up with changes to data processing, automation, and machine learning. Digital transformation is critically important for companies to stay ahead of competitors. Once, the new technology would not mean an unbeatable competitive edge. We are warned now that with Industry 4.0, some advantages enable such operational efficiency, that the companies that get this right early, will have a strong advantage into the future. The conversation with Sven centres around the speed at which Industry 4.0 is happening, what CEOs need to be aware of now, and how client experts – your sales team – can leverage this change for the benefit of your both own business and that of your clients.

Join us in this episode with Andrew Philips, our podcasts owner, and the author of the book “CEO Led Sales”. Andrew is joined by our host and interviewer, the Managing Director of Social Star, Andrew Ford. In this episode, Andrew discusses the criteria you need to hire a stand-out sales team and client success managers. The current state of the economy and talent market is broken down, including Andrew’s view on the requirement for attracting talent when talent is scarce. The industry is slowly changing, and it’s clear a short-term mindset and lack of strategy will cause more harm than good. Some businesses are facilitating change by bringing in new people - changing the culture through an influx of new talent, with the right industry backgrounds, but from different roles. This discussion sheds light on the current state of affairs and provides insight into what business leaders need to prepare for in the near future.

Join us in this episode with Andrew Phillips, our podcasts owner and the author of the, now available, book, “CEO Led Sales”. Andrew is joined by our host and interviewer, the Managing Director of Social Star, Andrew Ford. This is the final episode exploring the CEO Led Sales book, and Andrew introduces us to the Power Plan. Implementing the Power Plan is uncomfortable, enlightening – and essential. The Power Plan is scored on the 4 C’s - Credibility, Capability, Commitment and Control. Credibility explores knowledge and trustworthiness. Capability looks at the actual, genuine ability to deliver on a deal. Commitment measures the current state – is this client already a buyer? Are they interested, loyal, distant? Control is the hardest to pin and looks at the influence exerted on a deal, the sway evident in the tender document when it is released. Each of these creates a measurement, and Andrew dives into exactly what they are, why they help, and how to use them. It has been great to have Andrew Ford joining us as our interviewer across these episodes. A big thank you to Andrew for the apt questions and conversation. Future episodes will see author Andrew Phillips interviewing CEOs from large enterprises on their sales approaches, and discussing their experiences, strategies, and tactics for driving a successful sales pipeline.

Join us in this episode with Andrew Phillips, our podcasts owner and the author of the, now available, book, “CEO Led Sales”. Andrew is joined by our host and interviewer, the Managing Director of Social Star, Andrew Ford. In this episode, Andrew introduces us to the controversial “remuneration plan”. Andrew explains why he views the traditional split of ‘base’ and ‘at risk’ pay, plus individual incentives for a sales team are outdated, being that is creates peaks and troughs and shifts focus to the pay check and away from the needs of the company, clients and shareholders. The remuneration plan addresses this. This is a valuable and exciting episode, as Andrew succinctly outlines how changing the remuneration plan can increase results across the board; from the loyalty of your team through the building and incentivising of true sales planning – a real asset for every company.
