How to Create a Culture of Customer

Why is great service so hard to find today? How can we identify people who are truly motivated and go the extra mile?

At the core of The Sales Revolution?? is the understanding that we are all both customers and providers. Every day, we deliver value to those we serve, but we rarely ask ourselves: 'Is the value I'm providing creating more benefit or more cost?' The truth is, we often don't know because we don’t measure it.

A Culture of Customer?? is what happens when two fundamental principles of The Sales Revolution?? are present consistently and effectively across and through the organization: Customer Consciousness?? and Commercial Competence.

In this keynote workshop, Ingrid will challenge your people across the value chain to:

  • Redefine what we mean by “customer”.
  • Define who their customers are, what matters to them, and who their customers' customers are to enhance value delivery.
  • Understand the "Value Equation" everyone subconsciously considers, and explore 3 types of value.
  • Dive into the benefits and costs each function in the value chain delivers across these value types.
  • Set new actions to improve and measure value for customers.

Ideal for executive leadership teams and cross-functional conferences.

It’s time for A Sales Revolution

Revolution is a powerful word, right? It’s intentional because it represents a complete change from the current way of doing things. That’s exactly what Ingrid is proposing. She believes that with all the economic, social, and psychological influences shaping the world today, focusing on just one area won’t make much of a difference.

What we need is a shift in how we think about our roles, how we approach them, and how we deliver results to those around us. This matters now more than ever.

In this keynote workshop you’ll understand:

  • How The Sales Revolution?? methodology changes how everyone in an organisation shows up to deliver measurable value to those they serve. Why sales is no longer enough if we want profitable growth. What to do instead to transform your company into a profit magnet.
  • These uncomfortable truths can lead your company towards its own Sales Revolution: If asked, how likely is it that each person in your company could articulate the measure of value they deliver to your business?
  • Do they treat the business itself like a customer who matters to them?
  • Does everyone in your company deserve a place?
  • If you had to, would you be able to do a rough calculation on everyone’s return on capital? What about your team? What about the sales team?

Perfect for executive teams, sales conferences, and offsites, this workshop redefines what's possible, showing why revolution—not evolution—is key to unlocking success today

No More Order Takers and Glorified Customer Service Agents

Why is great sales talent so scarce? We seem to be surrounded by order takers instead of business development managers and glorified service agents instead of account managers. It doesn’t have to be this way, and now is the perfect time to make that change.

In this keynote workshop, you’ll takeaway:

  • Understanding how we lost our ability to hunt AND farm properly so you never go back there.
  • Knowing what makes a truly “great” salesperson today and where to find them.
  • Able to shift your team from busy to effective, from passive to proactive.

Perfect for sales conferences and sales leaders.

Transforming Sales Teams into High-Profit Centres

In a post lockdown world, salespeople on the road seem to have lost their mojo: they’re not seeing enough of the right customers, having enough of the right conversations and converting enough new opportunity into additional revenue.

How can we think differently about sales team structure and processes to align function with return?

In this keynote workshop, you’ll takeaway:

  • How to realign your sales team in a way that delivers improved customer reach and experience.
  • How to harness technology and AI to do the heavy lifting and provide your team with a digital twin for your sales leader.
  • How to deliver lower cost of sales, customer acquisition costs, greater margins, and lower cost to serve.

Ingrid Maynard

Leading a Sales Revolution for the Next Generation of Market Leaders

Ingrid Maynard is out to change the status quo and the future of sales. She knows the time is ripe for a revolution towards customers, sales and profit by transforming how the next generation of market leaders embraces key stakeholders.

Ingrid has an impressive 25-year track record of transforming business outcomes in record timeframes for some of Australia’s and New Zealand’s most iconic brands. As founder and managing director of The Sales Doctor, Ingrid works closely with business leaders, business owners, and sales teams: you are her people. And she respects people like you very much because she understands that in these roles, you never get to pass go, and you’re only as good as your last deal or quarter. It’s what inspires her to do the work she does, being selective about the companies she works alongside.

For too long, sales has been a dirty word and a career that people ‘fall’ into - not a profession of choice. Ingrid seeks to change this, one sales team at a time through her programs. When sales leaders and their teams have passion for the value they deliver, everything changes. Many of those metrics are unexpected: customer and team retention, improved margins and productivity.

For over 25 years, Ingrid has worked with large listed and privately owned organisations to improve sales performance. Changed behaviour is central to this. She’s known for achieving improved results in unheard of timeframes as well as creating mutual enrichment in the organisation/customer relationship.

Ingrid’s mission is to transform the way everyone in a company delivers measurable value to their customers and in doing so, reduce friction to unlock the value that will deliver additional revenue, profit and growth. She’s started a sales revolution; will you join her?

The Sales Revolution Methodology™ underpins all of Ingrid’s client’s programs - bespoke, online and workshops because while improving revenue fixes many things good change is lasting change which is why she works beyond just “sales” and why her programs work. Change isn’t always pretty nor is it immediate.

As Founder and Managing Director of The Sales Doctor, Ingrid consults closely with key client stakeholders to create a program just for you that takes your people from where they are to where they need to be by changing their behaviour. She believes in working together in partnership.

Ingrid’s clients value the profound Impact her programs have on sales teams, sales leaders, company culture and on the metrics that matter – which goes deeper than simply top line outcomes.
