John Sergeant Associates are a specialty sales effectiveness consultancy.
We create consulting and development programs that build successful sales and sales leadership teams.
Our clients include Unilever, Mars, Pioneer, Whirlpool, Red Bull, Bonds, Holeproof, Hallmark, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Caterpillar, KingGee, Taylors Wines and Simplot.
I have consulted to over 50 enterprises on business improvement, sales process and tool design, training and coaching. I work with all facets of a client’s sales function from leadership and management, to operations and sales teams.
As an external consultant we rely on leadership by influence. No consultant can make change happen – but our indepth knowledge of their business and market together with astute consulting skills and observations of best practice in sales management and sales allow us to foster and motivate the client project team to make change happen.
Our success is based on:
• The ability to understand and analyse business issues and develop solutions around the core building blocks of sales process, tools, skills, competencies and attitudes.
• Outstanding trainers who uses the latest techniques to engage individuals in their development.
• Understanding coaches and mentors who help individuals to become aware and responsible for their opportunities.
We also provide advice and consultative services on the technical infrastructure (CRM/SFA) necessary to support the sales function - processes, systems and technology.
Having consulted to over 100 companies, I have come to understand the nature of company culture and recognise the nuances that make the difference between success and failure.
