Revenue Leaders, this is what you have to be thinking of for your 2023 Strategic Plan

The fourth quarter of every year is to the majority of companies the time when executives & leaders settle down, analyze their current year performance, and prepare their strategic plans & initiatives to build their budgets for the following year. 

Based on Gartner’s study, growth remains the most business priority area for 2023 – although it has faded by 8% this year due to the pressure of not meeting the demand caused by supply chain challenges.
It is true that “Sales” comes last, but this area has gained a 77% positive change since last year due to difficulties in acquiring good talent and retaining top sales performers.

Recommendations we have at this point to all revenue leaders gathering data to build their growth plans for 2023:

Evolve your growth lever plans

1. Growth Strategy – Build a customer-focused strategy targeting the best growth opportunities with differentiated and mutually valuable offerings.

2. Organization Structure – An effective & efficient coverage with the full target account universe with a structure and deployment that best fit the value proposition and sales process strategies.

3. Client-Centric Process – Put your customers in the center and build an expertly and customer-focused sales process that maximizes mutual value and trust.

4. People & Skills – Revenue leaders, sales managers, and salespeople with the knowledge, skills, and attributes required to excel at their respective roles & responsibilities.

5. Drive & Motivation – A performance-focused and highly motivated culture across the organization with salespeople committed to “getting it done” and “doing it right”

6. Commercial Excellence – Governance among the growth division for highly efficient support capabilities that provide the sales force with the information, expertise, speed-to-market, and efficiency needed to achieve superior performance.

7. Digital – embarking on a digital transformation journey and intentionally combining human and technological capabilities in an entire transformation journey rather than just making some standalone digital improvements, became fundamental to defending the business and a necessity to succeed in the future.

Do not focus on the cost-control plan 

Rather focus and get a very clear growth plan – Knowing how to redirect investments & budgets to capture revenue growth will separate winners in the upcoming year

Integrating technology without killing the human element in B2B sales

Companies are being forced to adjust their business models and adapt to the new market reality as a result of digital transformation. What’s remarkable about this is that the transformation isn’t driven by businesses, but rather it’s directed by the customer.

The internet gave customers access to relevant information at any time, anywhere, and in the format and device of their preference. Thus, the customer journey dictates different strategies for businesses to keep up with this new kind of “always-connected” customer. Businesses must embrace technology in order to provide an exceptional customer experience, that’s one perspective of the story.

How to optimally segment clients in B2B companies

Account management-based companies have always valued the importance of client categorization and evaluation; however, determining the optimal way to do that remains evasive. Technology is overtaking the account management sales world; thus, more companies are relying on automating business processes. While the use of technology is no longer viewed as an accelerator, rather as a core component of business, it should not outweigh client centricity. Particularly in companies that rely on post-sales account managers to manage and nurture relationships with accounts – to retain and increase revenue from them. The objective then is to place client centricity at the center and create digital initiatives that facilitate this centricity.
