the challenge
After two years of operating three companies separately, the organization realized it needed to create a single consistent sales and service culture. Adding to the challenge was undefined sales- and service-management accountabilities for regional managers, district managers and branch managers.
our solution

Business Efficacy’s plan began with providing clarity and alignment regarding the activities branch managers could use to drive sales. A 30-day branch-manager custom training program was designed to make it possible to implement and execute in the field while also jump-starting district managers’ efforts to coach execution. As part of the plan:

  • District and regional managers received one-on-one, in-the-field coaching support to ensure they properly equipped their teams to put the newly defined behaviors into practice.
  • Two workshops helped develop the organization’s internal consultants, ensuring they understood the coaching routines for all levels of management and giving them the ability to replicate the program.
  • Managers were taught to integrate accountabilities into current programs.
  • Two quarterly workshops helped district managers further their development and address emerging organizational challenges and changes.

Business Efficacy established these objectives via an all-day “clinic” and reinforced them through in-the-field coaching support.
