The conventional sales wisdom says that increasing sales is best accomplished by improving the quality of the sales team.
For the Fortune 500, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in training, recruiting, and paying top-tier talent is a viable strategy.
For mid-sized and smaller businesses, “buying your way out of the problem” is not a viable option. So how do you improve the performance of the sales function and keep the sales team you have?
It’s not easy, but it is possible. We have studied top-performing sales teams of 10 or less and discovered hundreds of best practices that allow them to perform like Fortune 500 teams for a fraction of the cost.

Freeing the owner from sales management tasks and allowing them to focus on more important activities
Sales management is important, but most business owners do not enjoy it and have better things to do. Most mid-sized businesses have “leakage” in the sales department. That is, they are losing deals, forfeiting margin, and incurring higher costs than they should due to under-management or an under-skilled sales manager.
A Fairchild | Black VP of Sales has the requisite skills and toolbox necessary to create more profit from your sales department.
Getting your sales function running smoothing and efficiently
Once your process is fully implemented, you can retain your Fairchild | Black VP of Sales to manage the process or turn it over to one of your people. This process takes time, but the system will become a vital asset to your business. We recommend you retain your SalesQB to coach and manage your staff, but you are free to take the system created and run with it.
