      Executive Account Director, EMEA

      With more than 15 years of experience in the sales performance industry, I guide business leaders to bridge organisational gaps and surpass their sales goals.The effectiveness of Miller Heiman Group’s approach to sales performance improvement, territory alignment, talent optimisation and sales training lies in our understanding of the art and science of sales. With 40 years of experience our breadth, depth and knowledge is unparalleled in the market. That is why, in 2018 Miller Heiman Group was named one of the top 20 Sales Training Companies by Selling Power Magazine and TrainingIndustry.com.While keeping up with the modern buyer has proven to be difficult, choosing a sales methodology and performance improvement process doesn’t have to be. By providing sales training that maps to the modern buying process, Miller Heiman Group helps clients sell more efficiently and increase customer loyalty.For example, a diagnostics imaging technology company did not have a formalised, structured sales process in place, and its’ business leaders recognized the need to implement a strategy to manage the entire sales process more effectively. In addition, since our client was implementing a new CRM system, they wanted to identify strategic sales accounts to target, and improve the health of the sales funnel, thus making it a perfect time to adopt a formal sales process. The results?The Strategic Selling process expedited the sales process, allowing sales reps to identify more quickly the accounts they have the potential to win and the accounts that are not worth the time it would take to close. This lead to a healthier, more reliable sales funnel and an investment that the client said paid “dividends to their business.”Take a look at the media below to see how we can help you drive more.Consultative Selling | Sales Training | Strategic Selling | Sales Enablement | Scout Show less
