The Challenge

Following a major M&A, the firm was refocused on growth and needed to:

02

Systemise the process and develop the right skills.

Support future work winners with structure, guidance, and accountability.

3Step 03

Light governance structures

Introduced accountability, cadence, and simple governance to embed change and sustain momentum beyond the initial programme.

Embedded
accountability

We delivered two distinct programmes: one for Directors and Senior Managers, focused on generating opportunities through networking and progressing them into qualified engagements, and one for Managing Directors, built to help them double revenue through sharper targeting, greater efficiency, and a more ambitious commercial mindset.

Our wider approach included interviews with senior stakeholders, co-creation of programme content built around real opportunities, and immersive workshops focused on immediate application and peer-driven accountability.

Value Added

A scalable framework for commercial capability-building.

The firm now has the shared approach, language, and governance needed to keep developing commercial capability consistently across levels and geographies.

  • A shared language and toolkit for creating, qualifying, and converting opportunities.

  • Increased accountability through a governance structure focused on consistent behaviours and outcomes.

  • Clear understanding of what strong business development looks like at every level.

In Their Words

The programme they developed for us has been transformational, and I’m delighted that The Sales Coach Network walk by my side.
