The Situation

HEALTHY ACCOUNTS. NO NEW WORK.

InfoCepts could not generate new business inside enterprise accounts it already served well.

The accounts were healthy. The delivery was good. The relationships were real.

They sat entirely with technical counterparts.

What The Diagnosis Found

THE BUYER WAS NEVER IN THE ROOM

The people who commission new work were not in the conversation and never had been.

Delivery staff had regular, trusted access to engineering and technical leads, and no reason or structure to reach anyone above them.

This was not reluctance. Nobody had asked them to, and nobody had given them a way to do it that felt natural rather than like selling.

WHAT WE DID

Working with the InfoCepts learning and development team, we built a sales consulting programme for the delivery team covering four things.

The InfoCepts team with the Pitch Perfect India trainer
1

Prepare

Structured preparation before a client conversation.

2

Find the cost

Establishing where the customer’s problem actually costs them.

3

Reach upward

Reaching senior stakeholders beyond the technical buyer.

4

Make the case

Presenting a differentiated case rather than a capability list.

The Results

MORE OPPORTUNITIES, HIGHER UP

17% increase in new opportunity generation by the delivery team

Contact with senior stakeholders in the client accounts also increased over the engagement.

HOW THIS WAS MEASURED

Reported at the close of the engagement.

What This Suggests

THE USEFUL PART IS WHO DID IT

These were delivery people, not salespeople, and nobody expected them to become salespeople.

In most services businesses the deepest client relationships are held by people with no sales role and no sales training. They do not need to become salespeople. They need a structure for a conversation they are already having.

InfoCepts in short

How InfoCepts’ delivery team, people who were never meant to sell, learned to open new business inside accounts they already served. New opportunity generation by the delivery team rose 17%, reported at the close of the engagement.
