and processes needed to support the changes our clients are seeking, to establishing

Case Studies:
Not For Profit Corporation:
This very successful not for profit sought to change its business model
to reduce its dependence on grants and donations. They had
achieved some success in selling select services and products, but did
not know how to restructure the organization and put in place new
functions to support sales and marketing. Additionally, this
change represented a significant shift in the mission. Strong
communications and leadership programs were required to help
stakeholders (board, donors, employees, supporters) understand and own
the changes. Partners In EXCELLENCE worked with the management
team to develop and implement the plan. Within two quarters of
implementing the plan, the organization was achieving all its sales
goals and continued to build a strong base of community and industry
support.
Printing and Publishing
Company: This organization sought to develop the
skills of its telesales organization. Partners in EXCELLENCE
conducted extensive behavioral testing of each sales person, observed
sales calls, and developed personalized development plans for each sales
person in the organization. Following this, we implemented a
mentoring program, focusing on developing each individual's skills,
enabling them to perform at the highest levels possible. Within a
very short period of time, the payback of this coaching program was
demonstrated through dramatically increased sales results and employee
satisfaction.
Consumer Packaged Goods Company: We
assisted executive management in reorganizing from a geographically oriented sales
organization to an industry oriented organization. We facilitated their work in
re-defining the roles and responsibilities within the organization and helping them align
the organization to support the needs of their customers. One of the major problems
we identified through this process was the need to improve overall teamwork and
communication within the organization. The organizational development model we introduced
was so successful in helping to clarify missions, roles and responsibilities, that it is
now being used by other divisions within this company.
Information Technology Company: After
working with a company to establish a new sales organization, improving the strategic
leadership they provided their customers, we worked with key individuals in this
organization as coaches and mentors. This enabled these managers to understand the new
leadership model required to achieve their objectives and accelerated their learning curve
in developing the skills necessary to be successful.
Data Analytics Software
Start-Up: Recruiting strong operational management
to support the founders of this company as well as developing their own
leadership and management skills was critical in the very early stages
of this company's development. We defined the overall
organizational structure, job responsibilities, performance standards
and recruitment criteria. We worked with executive search firms
and led the interview process in identifying and recruiting key
individuals. We helped bring these key individuals on board,
accelerating their ability to have an impact in growing the company. Mentoring
Executives: A high potential sales executive with a
technology based company identified shortcomings in his skills in developing relationships
with key executives at his important accounts. He wanted to improve his ability to drive
value in the business relationships with his peers at these customer accounts. We worked
with this sales executive to help him better understand the typical business drivers faced
by the executives he wanted to reach. We worked with him in developing his confidence in
calling on these executives and having meaningful conversations. This mentoring effort has
been expanded by our client to include other key executives in the sales organization.
