Welcome to PMI

PMI is a sales performance consulting and training organization that delivers customized solutions to industry‑leading companies worldwide.

Change is constant in today’s business environment:

  • Rising customer expectations
  • Declining customer loyalty
  • Fierce competition
  • Increasing cost-of-sales
  • Shrinking profit margins

All surrounded by an increasing demand for value differentiation and consistent sales execution and performance.

This is the world of PMI’s team of accomplished consultants, experienced in senior management, sales, account management, marketing and professional services.

How can today’s organizations balance the short-term requirement to generate revenue and profits with the long-term expectations of their customers for greater levels of resources, expertise and value creation?

VALUE

Does your customer understand the value that you and your organization bring to their business, or are you just another vendor, with just another product,
in real danger of being commoditized?

How comfortable are you at articulating your unique,
differentiable value to your customer?

PMI solutions equip salespeople and account managers to conduct effective value conversations about the things that matter most to customers, and do so in a manner that enables them to clearly articulate the unique, differentiable value that customers care most about.

ALIGNMENT

When your organization engages with your customer, are you aligned internallyand able to present consistent messaging and strategy, or does your customer sometimes feel as though you and your colleagues engage with them as if you all worked for different companies?Do you understand your customer’s business well enough to align with their drivers,objectives and challenges?
PMI solutions are designed to equip salespeople, account managers and their supporting sales and account team members to align internally and present a common message and strategy to customers, positioning them to connect their solutions and value with their customers’ drivers, objectives and challenges.

RELATIONSHIPS

Does your customer do business with you because you are convenient to them, important to them, necessary to them or essential to their business?

If asked, would they describe their relationship with you as just another vendor, a supplier they prefer, a partner they plan with
or a trusted advisor to their business?

PMI believes that one of the most powerful influences in the contemporary sale is the presence of trust-based relationships between buyer and seller. Our solutions equip salespeople and account managers to grow their relationships with customers into planning partner and trusted advisor relationships.

GROWTH

When you win new business and complete a new sale with your customer, do you have specific plans to expand your relationship with them, strengthen your alignment with them and ultimately create and co-create more value with them?

Is your plan to grow with your customer in sync with how your customer plans
to grow with their customers?

PMI believes that the signing of the contract does not just represent the “close” of business, but also the opening of a new set of opportunities for value creation and relationship expansion with the customer. Our solutions equip salespeople and account managers to “plan to grow” with their customers, and gain competitive advantage while doing so.

To be successful in today’s challenging B2B selling environment, you can’t rely on dated approaches that were developed in the last millennium.

  • Contemporary, integrated and built upon a proven customer engagement model

Approach to Client Engagements

PMI’s approach to client engagements is different from that of most sales training companies. We believe that in order to receive the value you expect from your sales performance partner, the solution that you select and implement must fit your business, be usable by your salespeople and coachable by your managers.

PMI client engagements include:

  • Sales, account management, and sales management effectiveness discovery and assessment
  • Customized sales performance solution design, development and integration with existing methodologies
  • Solution training and deployment in team-based workshops with real accounts and opportunities
  • Sales performance solution coaching, reinforcement and sustainability to drive adoption and implementation

BEYOND THE SALES PROCESS

12 Proven Strategies for a Customer-Driven World

Buying has changed dramatically over the past 10 years, but sales hasn’t kept up.

It took Steve Andersen and Dave Stein two years to write Beyond the Sales Process: 12 Proven Strategies for a Customer-Driven World.

By going inside industry-leading companies and interviewing some of their most successful salespeople and account managers – and their customers, the authors offer a proven approach that spans the entire customer relationship… before, during, and after the sale.  Today’s customers value relationships based on transparency, credibility, authenticity, and trust, and their feedback provides a compelling case for stronger alignment, collaboration, innovation, and mutual value creation in this exciting new era of customer engagement.
