How to Accelerate SALES Dramatically

Prodsol Sales Acceleration

Sales volume and value is a function of the quality, quantity and target of sales activity.

Dramatic improvement in sales is the natural consequence of increased capacity, capability, collaboration and leadership.

How to Accelerate SALES Dramatically 

Solution Examples
  1. Demand-Generation for Sales.
  2. Buy-Cycle Acceleration.
  3. Defrag your Brain for Sales.
  4. Deliberate Rapport & Empathy for Sales.
  5. Contribution-Rate Targets.
  6. Time Allocation Planning & Scheduling for Sales.

Impact Potential

The Dramatic Improvement Opportunity in Sales

The opportunity for dramatic improvement in sales performance (assuming a worthwhile product or service) includes:

  1. A 50% - 100% increase in capacity.
  2. A 100% - 200% increase in effectiveness.
  3. A 50% - 100% increase in margin.

In addition to wasted capacity and low activity rates, huge amounts of sales effort is wasted because it’s misdirected or ineffective.

The Dramatic Improvement Opportunity in Sales

The principles apply to FMCG and big-ticket extremely complex sales - and everything in-between.

Common Failure Modes

We have a huge tendency to to focus on creating buying pressure, instead of removing buy-cycle friction points.

We also tend to focus on activity (inputs), rather than impact (outputs).

Foundational Solutions

Buy-Cycle Acceleration

Prodsol Buy-Cycle

The essence of Buy-Cycle Acceleration is - Instead of increasing sales pressure - to identify and reinforce the need and remove friction-points in the buying process.

Buy-Cycle Acceleration

  1. Validate and apply the customer need diagnostic to each opportunity.
  2.  the Identify the most common buy-cycle friction points and develop solutions for overcoming each of them.
  3. Run diagnostics on each sales opportunity regulalry to estaboish which friction points apply to each one.
  4. Batch-process sales activity to maximise performance and grow expertise in relieving each friction point.

Defrag your Brain for Sales

Prodsol Defrag Your Brain For Sales

A fragmented, multitasking brain results wastes capacity and impacts on sales performance.

It takes at least 15 minutes to reach deep concentration on a challenging sales task - and every time we switch cointext away froma  task and back again, we incur that cost again 

Defrag your Brain for Sales

  1. Group similar sales activities together to reduce context switching.
  2. Ensure that you have periods of every day that you can work uninterrupted on challenging sales activity.
  3. Manage interruptions to minimise their impact on your focus, energy and performance.
  4. Plan to only start tasks that you know you can finish - and then finish them before switching away from them.

Drim Marketing

How to improve Market Demand dramatically

Prodsol Demand Generation

Market Opportunity always exceeds the Demand that we're currently seeing.

This page offers simple dramatic improvement patterns for converting opportunity into demand.

How to improve Market Demand dramatically

There are a number of drametic improvement patterns for increasing market demand:

  1. Finding ideal customers.
  2. Getting their attention.
  3. Helping them diagnose their need.
  4. Helping them map their need into our portfolio.
  5. Helping them appreciate the superiority of our offering. 

Diagnostic

Indicators

Demand Generation is the best place to intervene if:

  1. You have a surplus of stock or capacity.
  2. The constraint is either in marketing or lies between marketig and ssales or
  3. You're humgry for more or better demand .
Recommendations

Kick off with a Demand Generation Workshop or Service, if your people are on to it, but open or keen to taking things to the next level.

Kick off with a Flow-Optimisation or Defrag Workshop or Service if your Marketing people are overloaded.

Kick off with a Deliberate Ingenuity workshop if your market is mature or your Marketing people have lots of ideas but no consensus on which are the best ones.

Contra-Indicators

Don't intervene at Demand Generation if:

  1. Sales, Operations or Production is the real bottleneck.  Increasing demand if the bottleneck is downstream will make things worse rather than better.
  2. Your industry is changing and your product or service is becoming misaligned.  Although an increase in demand may be a part of the intrervention, it's more important to do so in the context of an alignment strategy. 
Recommendations

It's better to focus on improving the bottleneck, than improving non-botllenecks.  In fact, improving non-botllenecks can make thinss worse, rather than better as the result of lead-time or service delivery delays.

Marketing shopuild focus on promoting products that contribute the most dollars of margin per time at the bottleneck, if operations, production or service delivery is the constraint.

Prodsol Drîm Services

Prodsol Online Services Pictogram: hand beneath the dramatic improvement symbol (growing arrow from the bottom left corner of a box to beyond it's top right corner)

We're keen to help you and your organisation gain dramatic improvement impact and capability quickly and affordably.

Prodsol Drîm Services

Our objective is to disseminate dramatic improvement thinking, methods, solutions and capability as affordably as we can, civilisation-wide:

  1. Dramatic Improvement Training, Support & Tools.
  2. Online and In-Person.
  3. Public & Private.
  4. Real-time, Async and Own-time

We're keen to help you (DIY, DIT & DIF) - whether your objective is learning, situational, ongoing improvement or a combination.

 
 
 
 

Is Drîm for You?

Your Organisational Role

Conductor, performer, expert, leader icons

Are you in one of these roles?

Your Organisational Role

If you're in - or aspire to be in - one or more of the following roles, then Drîm probably is for you:

  1. Change Agent: Process; Practice; Culture; Org.
  2. Expert: Technical; Subject Matter; Scientific; Functional; Performance.
  3. Innovator: Product; Service; Technology; People.
  4. Leader: Peers; Team; Department; Project; Organisation; Industry; Civilisation.
  5. Practitioner: BI Specialist; Trainer; Coach; Consultant; Serial Entreprenuer.
 
 
 
 

The Drîm Mindset

The drîm symbol (growing arrow from the bottom-left to beyond the top right of a box) in a yellow brain in a black face sideview

Everyone wants better results - but are you prepared to do what it takes to secure them?

The Drîm Mindset

You have the drîm mindset if:

  1. Your aspirations exceed your delivery confidence.
  2. You're looking for a significantly different approach.
  3. You're up for continually adapting and integrating.

You probably don't have it if:

  1. You're happy with your current performance.
  2. It's others' approaches that need to change.
  3. You expect to do one thing once and have it work perfectly, first-time and forever thereafter.
 
 
 
 

What are you looking for?

Solution to a Situation

Addressing an immediate challenge, deadline or opportunity.

Solution to a Situation

Situations are challenging because they're multi-dimensional and dynamically complex.

The trick is to use the very multi-dimensional dynamic complexity that makes the situation challenging, to transform it to our liking.

The idea is to use the drîm famework to identify and manipulate the drîm levers, using a simple drîm smart-template tailored specifically for challenging situations.

It always seems impossible at first - but obvious in hindsight!

 
 
 
 

Staff Drîm Training & Certification

Learning by applying drîm to the real world, directly.

Staff Drîm Training & Certification

Choose this option to improve your and your people's dramatic improvement capability (qualifies as CPD).

The focus is to learn, independently and collectively, to improve any situation or thing, by applying the drîm framework to roles, teams, and departments and their current objectives and workloads.

This option could well be the most valuable investment you make in your people - growing their capability, engagement and satisfaction, while improving KPI performance and retaining them for longer.

 
 
 
 

Ongoing Improvement

Establishing a culture of ongoing dramatic improvement.

Ongoing Improvement

Choose this option if you don't have a single, pressing challenge, but want to establish a culture of ongoing improvement within your organisation.

It involves the introduction, integration and optimisation of additional drîm tools, processes & practices that will:

  1. Equip your people to get better results in less time & with less effort
  2. Free up time & energy for establishing a highly collaborative ongoing dramatic improvement practice, habit & culture.
 
 
 
 

Process & Practice Optimisation

Throughput, lead-time, quality and engagement.

Process & Practice Optimisation

In the drîm world, processes are the steps work items go through, while practices are the steps people go through in getting multiple work-items through the process.  The distinction, though small, is a highly signiicant one for optimising throughput, lead-time, quality and engagement.

Start with practice: Defrag, followed by Flow-Rate Optimisation and then Deliberate Genius, in design environments or a DARTin expert enironments.

 
 
 
 

Project & Programme Streamlining

Time|Scope|Budget|Quality|Throughput|Engagement.

Project & Programme Streamlining

If you need to streamline any project or an entire programme of projects dramatically, the drîm framework will enable you to maximise predictability & value delivered & reduce hidden time & material wasted.  The best options are:

  1. Site membership - start by focusing on Flow.
  2. The Project Flow Module.
  3. The How to Drîm Programme - oprganisational and practitioner-levels would be ideal.
  4. PMO Department - when it's published.
 
 
 
 

Challenging Objective

Seemingly impossible situation or thing.

Challenging Objective

Choose this option if you need a breakthrough solution to an ongoing problem, challenge, situation or thing - especially if it's (seemingly) intractable.

We'll help you through:

  1. Establishing exactly what outcome we're seeking to secure - & by when.
  2. Unearthing the single outcome-limiting issue.
  3. Developing a simple, counter-intuitive (of necessity) breakthrough solution.
  4. Implementing the solution in stages to maximise immediate & ongoing gains.
 
 
 
 

Strategy & Plan

Organisational | Departmental | Professional.

Strategy & Plan

If you're looking to build a strategy and implementation for your role, department or organisation, the Drîm Strategy Programme & the How to Drîm Programme are the best options.  Drîm Site Membership (which is nearly always the best way to consume those programmes) runs a close second & will enable you to develop & implement your strategy at a time of your choosing.

You'll be guided through completing a strategy template & drîm implmentation planning template - selecting & applying the drîm patterns that suit your situation best.

 
 
 
 

Department Performance Improvement

Dramatic improvement solutions for specific departments.

Department Performance Improvement

If you want to improve your department's performance you have a number of options:

  1. A department-specific solution exercise (as they become available).
  2. The Drîm Strategy Programme.
  3. The How to Drîm Programme.
  4. Online site membership - and raise department-specific questions in the appropriate forums.
 
 
 
 

Organisational Performance Improvement

End-to-end and bottom-line drîm .

Organisational Performance Improvement

If you want to improve end-to-end performance, your best course of action is:

  1. Join - or get someone from your BI team to join - the membership site, at the free level.
  2. Complete the Drîm Organisational Performance Improvement Template.
  3. If this justifies paid memberships (esp. within the bottleneck department(s) & role(s)), fund them.  Get group pricing, if it makes sense to do so.
  4. Get help from us directly, if you need it.
 
 
 
 

Drîm Practitioner Training & Certification

BI Specialists|Trainers|Coaches|Contractors|Consultants

Drîm Practitioner Training & Certification

If you're practitioner and want to add Drîm

  1. Become a Practitioner Level member of this site & community - participate in discussion & initiatives.

How to boost impact, collaboration, ingenuity and fulfilment dramatically

Prodsol Productivity & Satisfaction Solutions

Everyone is doing the best they can - and some very smart people are totally committed and putting in huge effort. Is dramatic improvement possible?

How to boost impact, collaboration, ingenuity and fulfilment dramatically

The potential is huge in every single situation:

  1. Optimise flow, by relieving the bottleneck.
  2. Free up capacity by reducing multitasking.
  3. Stimulate creativity with Deliberate Genius.
  4. Catalyse collaboration with Deliberate Synergy.
  5. Orchestrate individual and collective capabilty with Deliberate Mastery. 

Impact Potential

The Dramatic Improvement Opportunity

The primary constraint on organisational performance is people's engagement, capacity, capability, ingenuity and collaboration.

Deliberately and systematically improving each of these dimensions of human performance dramatically yields huge gains in end-to-end performance and fulfilment - and establishes a virtuous cycle of ongoing improvement, inthe process.

The Dramatic Improvement Opportunity

The opportunity for dramatic improvement is huge.  Here are some estimates to give you a feel for what's possible in most organisations:

  1. A 15% - 30% gain in capacity.
  2. A 20% - 50% gain in ingenuity and innovation speed & quality.
  3. A 20% - 40% gain in collaboration.
  4. A 50% - 100% gain in engagement.

Foundational Solutions

Flow Optimisation

Prodsol Flow Optimisation Solution Icon

Every organisation, situation and relationship is a flow-system, so knowing how to optimise flow is essential to - well: everything!

The trick to accelerating and streamlining flow is to improve the flow-rate at the bottleneck.  This is so obvious that we all think we're already doing it - but we seldom are.

  1. Identify the bottleneck.
  2. Make sure that it's capacity is used wisely and not wasted.
  3. Make sure that it is never idle.
  4. Choke the inflow to match the bottlneck's capacity.
  5. Have the other steps in the flow do pre- and post-work, to free up capacity.

Without these steps you're wasting at least 25% of your capacity.

Defrag Time & Focus

Prodsol Defrag Your Brain Logo

Multitasking wastes time, energy and opportunity and destroys ingenuity, capability, relationships and fulfilment.

We're largely unaware of the impact of multitasking - and assume that because our world demands it, it's a good thing to do.

Defrag Time & Focus

It takes the human brain 10 - 25 minutes to - and a huge dose of neurochemicals to achieve deep concentration on a challenging task.  We incur those setup costs every time we return to an interrupted task.

The Solution

Set time aside to work uninterrupted and proactively manage interruptions in a way that minimises their impact and improves internal and external customer satisfaction, in the process.

Advanced Solutions

Orchestrating Engagement

Prodsol Engagement Solution Pictogram

Engagement is crucial to impact & satisfaction & one of the primary constraints on improvement & change.

The primary prerequisites for engagement are a deep: alignment of interests, sense of meaning & purpose & conviction that we can succeed. 

Orchestrating Engagement

The keys to boosting engagement and motivation are to:

  1. Provide simple response and engagement frameworks that guide people to collaborate in defining, assessing and implementing the new way.
  2. Restrict rather than coerce participation.
  3. Display a commitment to each stakeholder's interests, without compromising the interests of any other stakeholders.

Capacity & Productivity

Prodsol Capacity & Productivity Solutions

Our go-to excuse for lack of impact and fulfilment is lack of time and resources.

The problem is that the human brain wasn't evolved for productivity, but for survival, so the opportunity for improvement is massive.

Capacity & Productivity

The keys to boosting capacity and productivity are:

  1. Reducing time wasted in multitasking. Time
  2. Allocation Planning and Scheduling.
  3. Separating and streamlining process and practice.
  4. Optimising meeting time to maximise engagement, collaboration, synergy and innovation.

Ingenuity & Innovation

Prodsol Ingenuity & Innovation Pictogram

Ingenuity and innovation is as hard, time-consuming and unpredictable as it is because true ingenuity is, of necessity, counter-intuitive.

Ingenuity & Innovation

And counter-intuitive doesn't look counter-intuively brilliant ahead of time - it just seems, well: stupid!

So we reject really valuable ideas and adopt helpless ones.

Provisionals, alternative generation and integration, forced innovation postponed/ reserved judgement.

Deliberate Evolution.  Innovation hothouse.

Collaboration & Synergy

Prodsol Collaboration & Synergy Solutions We're drowning in opportunity for both collaboration and synergy - and yet wasting it needlessly - because we are so poor at it and so blind to the forms it can take and the opportunities it presents.

 

Collaboration & Synergy

The key to collaboration and synergy is familiarity with the various forms that synergy can take - and what synergy opportunities look like.

We're prone to the Fundamental Attribution Error (attributing evil motive and intent to others and extenuating circumstances to ourselves, in seemingly adversarial situations).

The antidote is the Golden Assumption - deliberately assuming good intent and appearances to the contrary to be merely miscommunication and mistake.

Capability & Mastery

Prodsol Mastery Pictogram

Individual and collective mastery is the key to all human endeavour.

The trick to mastery is intervening at the ideal time (mostly early) in the most effective way.

Capability & Mastery

The problem is that if we're haven't mastered the domain yet, it's impossible to know how and when to intervene - or is it?

The secret is to work out what the most common failure modes (things that can go wrong) are - and what each of their earliest symptoms are.

Then practice diagnosing and intervening in increasingly demanding simulated and real-world situations.

On-Site Workshops

Detail

Mini-Projects

Is this for you?

Indicators

This is the best place to start if:

1.  You need better engagement or collaboration or more capacity, or shorter lead-times, higher quality, consistency or predictability or lower costs or effort across the whole organisation. 

2.  Your people are keen - or at least open - to  lifting their game, if you approached it right.

2.  No single department or function is the bottleneck - they all could do with a boost.

Kick off with a workshop or mini-project

If all of these indicators resonate with you, targeting Individual and Collective Impact and  Fulfilment could be the best place to start.

As people get more engaged, productive, innovative and collaborative, end-to-end performance will increase dramatically - and the functional area-specific opportunities will become more obvious and unequivocal.

It's probably still worth starting where the appetite and aptitude is highest, though!

This is not the best place to start if: 

1. The constraint is elsewhere

Your end-to-end constraint is clearly in a specific functional area or department and your people are fully engaged, productive, and collaborative but need a breakthrough in that specific area.

2. Your people aren't keen to lift their game

Whether the lack of apptitude is justified or not..

In either case, it may be better to lead with the functional area or situational solution and introduce only the relevant Impact and Fulfilment solutions within the context of that specific intervention.

This is not so say that there is nothing gain from investing in the impact and fulfilment of your people - merely that the context of a situation-focused initiative will be a more direct way of securing immedaite gains and momentum.

HEALTHCARE

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"The work done (and the speed at which it was done) really impressed us, particularly (Prodsol)'s ability to understand the issues.

Compliments like these are as scarce as the Moa in the health sector."

Ian Pipe
GM Radiology, South Auckland Health

HEALTHCARE

This was a competitive situation with one of the "big-six" (at the time!) consulting firms.  They had had two people working on a solution for over 7 months and Ian was not confident that they were going to deliver.

We chose to present recommendations within a week - to synchronise with the competing consulting firm's delivery date.

We found a way of nearly doubling clinic capacity.

The competing company took another 5 weeks and found a 4.5% gain.

 
 

SOFTWARE

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"In addition to solving known performance problems, Prodsol identifies and resolves core issues that the organisation is not yet even aware of.

I recommend their services unreservedly and welcome the opportunity to confirm these comments in person."

Dave Slomp
MD Extra Mile Technologies

SOFTWARE

I did some work for and with Dave when he was in the telecommunications industry - and then again when he had started his own manufacturing software development company.

The solutions, in both cases, resulted in a the decimation of lead time (the telco one reduced the remaining project duration from 13 months to 3 months and $7M to $360K and the second from over a year to 5 weeks).

The latter resulted in another career change for Dave - one that he has negotiated very successfully.

 
 

IMPORT|EXPORT DISTRIBUTOR

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"Prodsol’s methodology is highly effective.

I have seen it in action and it definitely works."

Martin Jones
GM Crusader Distributors

IMPORT|EXPORT DISTRIBUTOR

This company was in the gaming industry.

We interviewed a manager and a staff member as well as Martin - and were able to find a simple change in culture that resulted in a dramatic improvement in both financial performance and staff and volunteer satisfaction.

 
 

INSURANCE SALES

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"Prodsol has tools and techniques for enabling proper understanding of business or personal challenges and then finding solutions to them, even when the problem seems almost impossible to solve or to solve in the time required or with the resources available."

Wayne Johnstone
Insurance Company Manager

INSURANCE SALES

Wayne and I worked with his team to improve distribution sales of his company's personal insurance product portfolio.

After a 5 week trial across 5 client bank branches (in which sales improved dramatically) the company's board decided to bring the project forward and roll the training we developed together out to the remaining 172 branches.

Similar gains were secured across the other branches - and were still evident a year later.

 
 

HEALTHCARE

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"Prodsol achieved more in two weeks than all the other firms put together."

Gary French
Orthopaedic Surgeon

HEALTHCARE

We were able to reduce patient visit duration substantially and free up clinical consultant capacity by a similar amount.

One of the biggest achievements was to enable a far higher level of inter-disciplinary alignment within the clinic.

Gary's comment was against a back-drop of over a dozen internal and external consulting attempts in recent years

 
 

UTILITY SERVICE PRICING

Speech bubble with 4 black stars and one star outline on the right of a person icon

"I didn’t think it could be done!"

David Howell
Chief Executive: Metrowater

UTILITY SERVICE PRICING

We devised a solution to the problem David's organisation was facing that resulted in him being on on the TV news every night of the week before we started, as the result of legislative changes that affected water bills.

David set us the challenge of finding the optimal pricing structure - that would create the least dissatisfaction across small and high-usage users.

We found a different way of looking at it that totally satisfied all customers and the matter dropped out of the news immediately.

 
 

ORGANISATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

There're a handful of intellectual giants around the world who are pioneering entirely new and successful approaches our individual and collective challenges.

Gary Bartlett is one of those game-changers. Like many of them, he's a rare combination of modesty and ambition for our civilisation.

Peter Schibli

ORGANISATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Peter is a seasoned business and leadership consultant and strategist, working for and with global and national brand company leadership and executive teams.

He's run a few businesses and been at the forefront of different approaches to business improvement over the last 25 years, both receiving and delivering training in the best of them from and to corporates and smaller businesses.

 
 

PERSONAL PROJECTS

PERSONAL PROJECTS

Carlton is an airline Captain - working out of Hong Kong on international routes.

He's been privy to some of the deeper dramatic improvement concepts from the early days and applied quite a few of the deeper solutions within his world.

He's been the unique position of account-managing multiple clients that Prodsol shared with top-notch (in many cases world class) consulting experts - so he had deep insight into both the client situations and their responses to the dramatic improvement concept.

Our Approach

Pattern Thinking

Productivity_Patterns

Our foundational technology is Pattern Thinking, which enables us to identify productivity patterns that relieve the performance and satisfaction constraint in complex and challenging situations.

We get the results we get because we help our clients intervene at the end-to-end performance and satisfaction constraints - which is where the primary leverage points for improvement lie.

Pattern Thinking enables us - and anyone who uses it - to deliberately and systematically identify the constraining pattern and develop small, counter-intuitive changes in approach that have a disproportionately large and self-reinforcing impact on end-to-end performance and satisfaction.

Solution Library

Solution_LibraryWe've built a large and increasingly comprehensive library of breakthrough solutions to the seemingly unsolvable problems that hold people, organisations and our civilisation back.  These solutions are solution-patterns for the common human-condition problems people face in organisational settings.

We work with you and your team to adapt, apply, enhance and add to these solutions for your organisation and situation.

Creating a Pull-System for Change

Our approach deliberately and systematically creates a compellingly attractive pull-system for change that people embrace with enthusiasm, because it taps into their (often dormant) hunger and passion for impact and making a difference.

Pull-systems are orders of magnitude more effective, efficient and sustainable than even the most well-intentioned coercive push-system for change that people can't help but resist with a vengeance; can't sustain for any duration of time and; become innoculated against into the future.
